A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

See, I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine, and it's perfect example of something impossible today.

Not even the pope

I don't know that a screenshot of twitter is proof of anything, especially after the proliferation of AI.

But, go read about the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Even if I'm wrong in my opinion, you'll learn some new things.

Honestly I think it is wrong to compare modern day to anything over a few decades old. You can't hold Catholics responsible for things that happened centuries ago. You can only hold them to the now.

Also not all Catholics believe the same things.
