Catholic priest suspended for comparing Black Lives Matter activists to ‘maggots’ “The only lives that matter are their own and the only power they seek is their own,” Rothrock wrote. “They are wolves in wolves clothing, masked thieves and bandits, seeking only to devour the life of the poor and profit from the fear of others. They are maggots and parasites at best, feeding off the isolation of addiction and broken families, and offering to replace any current frustration and anxiety with more misery and greater resentment.” nypost.com/2020/07/01/catholic-priest-suspended-for-comparing-blm-activists-to-maggots/Dehumanizing people. I’m pretty sure that’s not a Christian thing to do. And yet I’ve been told for years you can’t be moral without a belief in this stuff. I’m pretty sure I got the memo about not comparing people to maggots even without a belief in their beliefs.

This is local to me and I was raised Catholic. Not practicing now, but most of my family still is. The article attached didn’t mention this gem:
"Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the other nefarious acolytes of their persuasion are not the friends or allies we have been led to believe," Rothrock wrote. "They are serpents in the garden, seeking only to uproot and replant a new species of human made in the likeness of man and not in the image of God."
So to me this reads Black people are the devil and not the image of God like white people are. He’s disgusting.
And the non-apology? I’m sorry if my words hurt? Bullshit.

The catholic church is filled w/priests who have no business teaching others about morals. Former catholic myself and my personal experiences, though nothing like what some children experienced, cemented my disgust for the church as a power-chasing wealth-chasing patriarchy that has done far more harm than good, imo.

I really don't understand how anybody could have this opinion let alone a priest. It's sad and disturbing and why our country is where it is right now. I believe in the end middle age white men (and women) will find themselves on the wrong side of history as our country moves past them.
