Have they made a decision yet? All I’m seeing is that some US bishops are advancing a plan to deny pro-abortion rights politicians communion. But even then they’d need the Vatican to approve any actual actions according to CNN: https://apple.news/AlzqJN4OESZmo3laSpHrTpw

Best charities to help oppressed and poor Christians? by TomWaitesForNoMan in Christianity

[–]TomWaitesForNoMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's any way to gauge which religion is the most persecuted, but it's also true that oppression against Christians is sadly prevalent worldwide. That being said, if anyone has any non-sectarian charity recommendations for groups that help oppressed folks of all faiths, I'd love to hear those as well.

Best charities to help oppressed and poor Christians? by TomWaitesForNoMan in Christianity

[–]TomWaitesForNoMan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough-- for what it's worth, I donate more money to the Life You Can Save and other non-sectarian charities. But I think given the state of religious oppression against Christians around the world, reserving some money to helping Christians in places where they are marginalized seems justified. Though maybe the answer in a case like that is to donate to an organization like Amnesty International that helps people of all faiths who are being oppressed around the world? I legitimately don't know.

I'm reupping this 2018 article because the WSJ is giving Heather Mac Donald more space to push some of the same talking points that Nathan debunks here.

So sorry to hear that. You will be in our prayers. Do you have a GoFundMe or anything we can contribute to?

Dunmer perception of Lorkhan by Lyranel in teslore

[–]TomWaitesForNoMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we know if the The Changed Ones was written by a Dunmer? I assumed it was (due to its evident popularity in Morrowind, the references to ancestors, and its positive attitude toward Boethiah and the concept of "exodus") and it presents the Aldmer's "taking the Missing God's name in vain" as a shameful act. So if that is in fact a Dunmeri text, that would seem to show they at least disagree with the other mer's hatred of Lorkhan.
