Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they all practicing Catholics? Catholicism itself maintains a hardline position that abortion is murder. If we're gonna hold them accountable for partnering with a Catholic app for its anti-abortion stance, why not address the religion itself that teaches it as doctrine?

Young people have this idea that it’s now this cuddly aesthetic democratic socialist outfit that is at best now indifferent to LGBTQ. But it’s easily just one of the best run religions that has handled the same rife sex abuse other religious groups have but at a scale without somehow totally collapsing.

The church is successfully reshaping it self around the mental health grift. Hallow as a meditation app being one example. But also there are mental health helplines, support groups and secret networks of councillors/psychotherapists that operate as pipelines for religious indoctrination.

Fun fact from Hallow's wikipedia page:

In April 2025, the app cut ties with British actor and comedian Russell Brand, after he was charged withremoved and other sexual offenses.
