I have a hard time taking the TradCath thing seriously. Sure, it survived New Atheism with more clout than, say, the Gospel Coalition (which is still around). But (1) it’s more memeable, better suited for social media. (2) it’s ambiguously ironic, so observers can’t tell whether it’s a LARP with the outfits and the incense. (3) They also have more layers of abstraction, which are catnip for nerds. Imagine a fedora atheist. He chews thru the Bible, spots the contradictions, does a twirl. But with Catholicism, you have a whole library of bs, “nuance” for them to talk about. They’re always more to study and more to show off smarts or eloquence.
With TradCaths, you cant crisply humiliate them like how reddit atheism did with low prots (for the above issues). its more like noticing how, even tho Adrian Vermuele has clever twitter repartee, his voice is terrible, beyond f@ggoty, like high-pitched and whispery and he looks like a rotting slug. also, a lot of intellectual tradcaths barely go to mass and, for those that do, they even more rarely go to their local parish. because theyre freaks that even other Catholics dont like.
bill barr? quit the trump admin, denounced him, then crawled back to endorse. real dignified. what a joke.
if you want to criticize TradCaths, you have to ditch the abstractions.
(a) oldie but a goodie: child molesting. TradCaths act like it's a low blow to bring this up, because they know it's a good one. "judge by the fruits" who said that, i forget. causally, catholicism is a den of homosexuals who are too cowardly to admit they like dick. its easy to be "chaste" for women when fish is not on your dish. because theyre cowards, they go for kids, who wont shoot them down like a grown man would. (tbh, gays are indeed vicious to lesser gays lol but thats another story.)
(b) non-molesting homosexuality/ fag vibes. so i went to mass because i was bored during covid. and this lispy priest is talking, performing a homily, i guess. i take off my sweater and idk why but my pecs were perky under my tight tshirt. in other words, my titties were sitting. the priest looks at my chest, stops his homily, and say some sort of sinner's prayer before resuming. i bring this story up because catholic spaces IRL are drowning is fag energy. like not even the rituals and the outfits. they are all thirsty for dick
(c) it's culty and manipulative. their churches are damp and dark. they're performatively guilty. sometimes, they'll do this thing where they'll sit together for an hour in silence to supposedly sit with jesus's corpse. like, no, there's no body there, you just hungry and bored.
and yea of course they always have some bs comeback. this one guy told me to "think about all the children the priests didnt molest" because "thats what showed the strength of his will and self-control." idk? i guess? anyway, sorry for your encounter, sounds shitty
No such thing as homosexual that’s a 19th century secular Jewish invited concept. Try again and be more creative this time instead of using old material
No it’s just most modern people are too stupid to know the difference. One can be someone who has sodomized someone but the term “homosexual” is a modern invention that will go into the ash heap of history as a retarded term
The classic Walt refrain: "Well look..."
Hanania's: "Yeah, yeah, you're you're right..."
Mine is: “There’s a way in which…”
Lol you called my countersignal
It’s hilarious to be listening to you two banter like this.

This is what I’m talking about. “No such thing as a homosexual.” Love it. A world of pure imagination!
