  • In response to a question of whether transgender people can be baptized, the doctrinal office said they could with some conditions and as long as there is “no risk of causing a public scandal or disorientation among the faithful”.

    A transgender person would “cause a public scandal” according to any priest that doesn’t want to include trans people. This announcement is pointless, it changes nothing.

    When the system allows racists, sexists, homophobes, etc. to wield authority, then the system is racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.













  • “I’m ready to be vilified to defend my ideals,”

    Ok. He’s a gross, sexist man who any organization should be embarrassed to have as a representative.

    “I grabbed that part of my body that you have already seen”

    Ah, so he’s done this sort of thing before. Repeat behavior, unapologetic and doubling down on it. This should take the Spanish FA less than 24 hours to kick him out and issue an apology statement for having kept him on for as long as they did.



  • They were already broken, I just gave the ok to throw them out. They had been sitting there for more than half my lifetime, no one was doing anything with them, near as anyone could tell I was now the “owner” of them, I wasn’t going to waste my time investigating 15 year old problems. So I said, “sure, make them disappear”.

    Someone in Finance took issue with that, something about making the $15 million value of those parts appear on the books correctly. Nice to get my first high-dollar mistake out of the way early!



  • I want to hear about what the contaminant was. I saw in another article that these are additive manufactured parts; they take powder metal, use a laser to fuse it together, and 3D print the parts building up layer by layer. Any extra metal powder is collected, sent to a company for cleaning/testing/certifying and then recycled through to use in the printers again.

    So was the contaminant there from the beginning or was it introduced into the powder at some point as it cycled through? What does their readacross look like; are there other parts out there that potentially have similar contamination? I hope they eventually disclose way more detail and progreas as the investigation continues.
