The Crusader seems to be flying below the radar. Changing the logo probably wasn't necessary as there hasn't been any external consternation to speak of before or after the change, only internal.

SOV, You may not agree with this article, but to many respected writers, The Atlantic is a credible publication, It has had many writers, and even a former editor, who consider themselves .conservative.

Did you read the article? It doesn't so much attack the rosary, as it points out the mis-use of the rosary by extremist Catholics who employ violent and intolerant imagery and messaging.

I didn't start this topic. For what it's worth, the author of this piece, Dan Panneton, has in his (Dan's pronouns aren't listed, so I am just assuming his gender here) twitter bio: "Museums worker and online hate researcher" Smells like the Atlantic is just looking for an attention-grabbing and provocative headline to drum up conversations and debate online to generate more clicks.

The only Catholic that I know of who carries the rosary on their person every day is the current POTUS.

The Knights of Columbus often carry a rosary and say it.

Anti‐Catholicism remains an acceptable prejudice in many circles.

I know some have a problem with his support of abortion rights. But one can feel abortion is wrong and also believe that in a secular pluralistic society the government has no business telling a woman what she should do with her body.

Holy Cow ! Everyone should read that attachment above which shows a letter from Rep Jim Banks to Biden and Blinken. Anyone want to defend the administration’s position ? Thanks for posting, td128

Women are told that all the time (abortions in the woman’s 3rd Trimester are generally illegal here in the secular and pluralistic US). To the extent we may still use the word ‘woman’.

I believe "pregnant person" is the politically approved term. Apparently in our new world, "men" have the right to be pregnant. There are some who have gotten into trouble for saying only women can be pregnant. IMHO, it is a sad state of affairs.

Thanks for posting, td128 I never heard of this program, and it's unlikely I'm going to take the time to dig deeper, but if you just read the title of the program it is not to promote atheism but to promote religious freedom. That is the crux of the program. I infer that the goal of the program is to promote the freedom to be a Baptist, a Catholic, or a Jew, or to be an atheist. In other words, you're free to believe or not believe whatever you choose. Maybe the money is being mis-used; I have no idea. And there may be a discussion to be had whether the program itself, well intended or not, is a prudent use of taxpayer funds. As for Jim Banks' letter this isn't the first time he's engaged in shrill partisan screeching.

It is fashionable today to paint almost anything as a hate symbol. The trick is to not allow radical groups to dictate the meaning of a symbol. The KKK does some nasty things with a cross. So did the Romans for that matter. I still like the fact that Luth has a purple lighted cross overlooking the city

Interestingly, I just read the Telegram article about Togo and it said that he carried a rosary. I regret I never got to meet Togo; seems like he was a great guy.

There are some who have gotten into. trouble for saying only women can be pregnant. IMHO, it is a sad state of affairs. You are not a hateful person and, if I recall correctly, you were ahead of many others on this board over the past decade on the rights of same sex couples. I know that if someone you knew had transitioned from idenitfying as a woman to a man, you would use that person's preferred pronouns and if that person wanted to by called a man, you would do so. You would do that for many reasons, among them the fact that Jesus taught us to love one another. Therefore, it ought not be a big jump for you to allow that a man can be pregnant. It is my experience that most transgender people only want others to make an effort and to not intentionally misgender them. At the end of the day, isn't it about being polite? (P.S., Of course, there are going to be those who are a bit more strident. That's OK, it happens about every topic, every day.)
