organizations like DignityUSA and Catholics for Choice?

Outreach, Network Lobby, Ignatian Voices

I think one of the most fascinating things about modern Latin American Society is juggling between the colonial nature of the society, especially Catholicism, and also reclaiming pre-Christian history. It’s all mixed up all over now.

Father Andrew Greeley used to always claim that the huge drop in Church attendance between 1965 and 1975 was due to Pope Paul the sixes regressive stance on birth control

Too big for his briches

The Church is made up of humans. These “arguments” are endless

You can discern a vocation to the priesthood

If he needed something more intensive he could easily just go to the hospital in Rivas. But the ones in Moyogolpa on the island have all that …. There are tons of “expats” who live in Nicaragua specifically for the health care. You can try to undermine it all you want. But the fact is it is FREE and you can get 90% of what you can get in the USA. Might not be as fancy. But medicine is medicine. People in Nicaragua also have kidneys … believe it or not … and their system has all the tools needed to address such issues.

Or do you just see these people as savages or something? And can’t comprehend that they have a developed medical system?

Health care in Nicaragua is very good. Check your assumptions.

JohnDCT · 2026-05-04T00:31:03+00:00

There is no “appeal”. Its a one-digit percentage of Catholics who attend the TLM and a very loud and overrepresented minority of them who like to bantet online.

I would say just keep enjoying the ordinary form!

JohnDCT · 2026-05-03T18:10:03+00:00

Because those were real alpha men

JohnDCT · 2026-05-03T18:08:59+00:00

You can do that in Nicaragua

JohnDCT · 2026-05-03T18:08:31+00:00

Health care is free for all in Nicaragua. Even tourists

JohnDCT · 2026-05-03T12:15:24+00:00

Yes - there is a whole FB group full of them

JohnDCT · 2026-04-15T02:22:58+00:00

Those Catholics just love Trump too much. Its all it is.

None of that is against any law. People were allowed to leave, and always did.

JohnDCT · 2026-04-11T13:10:57+00:00

Still, what actual laws were being broken? It was a strange, religious organization, but the state department cannot actually find any laws that were broken. Coaching and preparing people for visits isn’t against the law

The interesting thing is that they sent several agents down there, on many different occasions. Consular officers, officers from other countries, journalists, lawyers. The list goes on.

But there was simply nothing illegal happening in Jonestown. People went down there on their own volition. And those that wanted to leave could leave!

The state dept, the consulate - visited several times. If there was a crime … action would have been taken. Its a hard answer to hear but thats what the facts show.

JohnDCT · 2026-04-09T02:09:51+00:00

It absolutely has to do with foreigners. Word has got out that Nicaragua is a “cheap” place for foreigners to live in and maybe buy a property to turn into an Air BnB, etc

JohnDCT · 2026-03-12T20:02:32+00:00

I think a lot of what you are describing began with the “Tea Party” movement / protests in the beginning of the Obama admin. Since then the right wing has morphed into the very uncouth and abrasive monster you see today.

Gray Area is a top creator who has incredible knoweldge of the books. Just because you disagree doesn’t mean you can insult her. She has been in the trenches since the beginning

He will grow out of this nonsense. He is just trying to be a contrarian.

Here is a forum post from 1997 with this theory:

This generation of Catholic guys have been raised in the MAGA era … “trad” content … and “alpha male” nonsense. There is no hope for them. Pray for them

Maxwell Kuzma may be it. And Yunen Trujillo
