    I guess at least she lived long enough to be vindicated for the reason she was cancelled.

    That had to be both infuriating and a relief, to some degree. Her career was destroyed/damaged for no good reason. So personally I’d be livid but at the same time, the see, I was right, had to feel kinda oddly good.

        Yeah, there are people that still say the earth is flat, cheetosupreme won the election, and we never landed on the moon, doesn’t make them any less stupid. They will never accept reality so their opinion is irrelevant imo.

        The people back then, that didn’t really know what the Catholic Church was up to, are wildly different than now. It was a lot easier for them to keep shit hidden back then. And they had enough control, even then, to make sure anyone that stood up was “cancelled”.

        I don’t remember what year it happened but I remember it happening, vividly. And I also remember the swift rebuttal by famous people and the church alike demonizing her, which people didn’t know much better than to go along with and believe. It was a teenage against everyone basically.
