4 Doesn't Religion Hinder Morality?

Index post : Rebecca McLaughlin Wrote a Book

I can only think of two kinds of morality that the Catholic religion hinders.

• Kantian morality says you should do what is right without thinking of any reward, it becomes wrong if you want a reward;
• Woke morality says you should fight all situations, not just of oppression, but also which lead to oppression.

How does the Catholic religion hinder that?

• It hinders Kantian morality by:
  
  
  • offering an ultimate reward, in Heaven;
  • offering an emotional reward in pleasant prayers.
  
  
  
• It hinders woke morality by:
  
  
  • refusing to stamp certain situations as oppression (being stuck in your body, the sex it is, or not being allowed to abort, that's not oppression);
  • refusing certain ways out of situations that could lead to oppression, like pregnancy with a not very good man might lead to oppression from his side or to sharing oppression he undergoes, and Catholicism refuses to end the pregnancy by abortion.

Well, so much the worse for Kantian and woke moralities!

I am glad Catholic morality is fighting them. Apart from being very glad for the things in Catholicism I just said, I also hate these two non-Catholic moralities, because:

• Kantian morality which sees an even emotional reward for one's choices as suspect makes obedience not just a virtue, but the virtue, since obedience is so much more "objective" to Kant than going by one's conscience (which could be tainted), and therefore leads to overobedience to the state or similar authorities;
• woke morality makes normal happiness suspect, and basically makes disobedience to certain established moral themes the paramount virtue which Kantianism makes of obedience to the state.

This is the kind of thing that the Romeike's were forced to flee from 15 years ago. A wokeness which considers homeschooling an oppression on the part of the parents, and a Kantianism which refuses to see the oppression against parents and children in state schools, if going there is obeying the laws.

The kind of morality that the Catholic religion hinders is the kind of morality which makes for new types of slave hunt, new types of slavery and oppression.
