There are plenty of ideals that no longer are practiced or preached in the catholic church that were once "catholic beliefs".

  • Working on sunday was once seen as a crime worthy of literal death, as sanctioned in Exodus 35:2.

  • Selling your own daughter into the slave trade is also sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.

  • If a guy sleeps with a woman and claims that she is not a virgin, the mom of the woman needs to bring a "cloth" "proving" that she's a "virgin". If a cloth can be provided and her virginity is proven, the guy is fined 100 sheckles of silver for slander. If no cloth cannot be provided, the woman is to be beat to death by her own neighbors.

> "If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you." - Dueteronomy 22:19-21

  • If a man rapes a woman, the only punishment should be 50 sheckles of silver paid to the woman's father. The woman is now obligated to marry the man who raped her and is not to divorce her for as long as she lives, as sanctioned in Dueteronomy 22:28

Fuck out of here with the whataboutism in the name of the lord. Just accept the fact that the catholic church has proven to have cherry-picked specific things to preach hate against and which to casually, conveniently ignore. They are as ancient and as vile and as outdated as could possibly be in 2022, and are guilty are far more sins than they profess the LGBT community have committed.
