minus-squarespujb@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 months agoi know this is a meme but it’s inaccurate. for example, the roman catholic church is widely pro life but generally anti death penalty. this is not a defense of the institution which covered up known sex abuse cases. i just think it’s valuable to know your enemy.
