The Secular Perspective

This week we start with Ellen Page and her beef with Chris Pratt about his churches stance on LGBT people. Then we dive into Purity Culture and the lasting effects it has on people.

We dive in yet again into the world of the Catholic church. This time to talk about the number of gay priests in the Catholic Church. We hit on the 2 latest Cardinals to be found guilty of abuse. And finally, talk about a historic nun that faked her own death to escape to a world of lust and debauchery.

We start with a review of this documentary that just released on Netflix. (There are spoilers, so if you are worried about that you can skip to about the 20 minute mark.)

We also speak on a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood and Brett Kavanaugh making his own separate descent on a case dealing with abortion laws. We wrap up with abuse that nuns are dealing with at the hands of priests.

It’s Batman for rapists in Bangladesh. There is also a new missionary in trouble for going where he doesn’t belong. We end with a discussion about not handshaking for religious reasons.

We do start with talking about Chad’s sick kid so if you do want to skip that the show starts at the 7:25 mark.

A superintendent of a school in Indiana was arrested for using her insurance to try to get healthcare for a student in need. We also discuss a gay conversion therapist that has now come out as being gay himself. Measles is making a comeback due to the anti-vaccination movement. And we find more hypocrisy from Christian right.
