Nah, man. You can’t be responsible for the middle ages and denial of science and then turn around and say “oopsies, actually we’re good with some science now”. You can’t be the greatest threat to several civilizations and the reason wars were fought and crusades killed millions and then claim “nah bro, on God, we’re just finna heal some people, trust us np”. You can’t cover up pedophilia in your ranks and move offending priests from parish to parish, from abuse to abuse, and then say “yo, just let us take care of people when they’re at their weakest, trust us bro, we just need a bit more power over people in a position of weakness bro, just this one more time bro”. No, catholic hospitals are like saying Isis summer camps or CIA flower planting trips.
Your institution is evil. You don’t get to give yourself some good PR and wash the evil away. Everyone knows you’ll just use whatever power people give you to further your own agenda - like push for letting women die instead of performing abortions, or preaching abstinence instead of teaching teenagers how contraceptives work. You’re evil and will die evil. All society can do is not help you slow down your death.
You = catholicism, not you as a person. I’m sure you’re cool and all, and it’s a shame you haven’t yet gotten out of the indoctrination - though it’s not surprising, catholics have been indoctrinating people for literal millenia. They’ve gotten really good at sinking their teeth into people and guilting them into following along with the rest of the flock.
The church has always helped the poor and the ailing, this is not a recent development. This is simply a part of their tradition, their doctrine. It was happening when 99.9 per cent of christian europe was christian, and for centuries(thousands of years by now).
Also, while the church was often conservative, it would not be accurate to say it has stalled science to a significant degree, as there were only a few issues it took a hard stance on with regards to science.
We inherited the concept of the “dark ages” from the biased culture of the rennaisance(towards the classical roman culture and against the medieval), but modern historians are revising this issue, and I would say that it was not as bad as it is painted in pop culture, and towards the end of the era civilisation was very developed, and even if it was, christianity was not responsible for it, since it is doubtful the empire would have remained if it stayed pagan, plus the east did not experience this decline despite being christian.
Religion and healthcare do not mix. Very simple.
Judging by the amount of catholic hospitals in the world, it would appear like they do.
I too can write ‘roses’ on a sign and put it in my back yard next to the pile of manure.
Very mature. I am not quite sure what you think they do at catholic hospitals, but there are a lot of medical operations other than abortion.

I am not a catholic. Never have been.
