Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card

@heresylog

Just to be clear to anybody, especially in the USA because I know that Catholicism isn't as common there, this is not a cool rebellion against authority. While some traditionalist Catholics are purely interested in ecumenical things like the Latin mass, in the USA a significant portion of the movement for traditionalism is made up of violent antisemites. The "church's understanding of, and relationship with Judaism" they reference here is the idea that all Jews are not solely personally responsible for the death of Jesus

Yeah, so, do you know how unbelievably too conservative you have to be to be excommunicated from the Catholic Church? This isn’t a cute little rebellion against the pope’s authority or a mild disagreement, it’s partially that but more importantly it’s because SSPX is hardline Latin Mass only, no religious freedom, women can’t wear pants, oh, and Jews killed Jesus anti-Vatican II sect. They’re the kind of people who HATE the pretty minor changes to Mass and seem to believe in tradition for its own sake. In 1988, they consecrated bishops without the approval of the pope and were excommunicated, only for Pope Benedict 16 (I don’t know the Roman numerals) give them a slap on the wrist and brought them back into the fold for the sake of unity. Decades later, they have the pure audacity to do it again, I suspect they either knew they’d get excommunicated again and didn’t care or were bold enough to assume they’d get a different result. Either way, good riddance and I hope they learn their lesson this time.

people of colour deserve to be able to enjoy fluff and escapism and transformative media and silly fandom stuff the same way that everyone else is allowed to, i think. there’s a lot of unexamined hostility toward anyone who isn’t white; sometimes it’s subtle, and sometimes it’s not. there needs to be far more love and support for poc, and far less defensiveness and tolerance regarding racism in spaces like these.
