During the hippie days and sexual revolution days of the 60's it was generated as a way to state "I'm not going along with tradition. I'm for the modern." That is to say, "Come along with us cold-hearted folk who are rejecting popular culture."
Today the term has a more populist usage but the meaning remains: to reject traditional "square", prudish ways and to embrace rather the more lawless, "I'm free to do as I please" mentality.
“Cool” is not the same as “correct.”
Bad link.
This is what the correct link should be.

And you posted this in Religion???
And the mods don’t like cusswords in the title, even with *****.

Good, hard-hitting criticism of modern irreligious compromise!
“Cool” originally meant anything that was fashionable among people who agreed that they were cool.
Cannibalism is important to Catholics apparently. There is so much symbolism and pomp in the church but if others think eating and drinking Jesus is symbolic, they are heretics.
Anyone who really thinks crackers from Ye Old Cracker Co and wine from a box is actually the flesh and blood of Jesus are probably nuts.
Democrats and leaders of the left don’t really believe the crap they spew either.
You are a true blessing to Catholics around the world, Ann, and a stanch defender of the faith. May your reward be great in Heaven.
Ann Bernhardt always makes a number of God points, but she seems to be unbalanced with rage. It’s very hard to listen to her yelling contempt and dripping sarcasm and costar claims of moral superiority while still parsing the bits of truth she wraps it around. She needs to adjust her meds, or get on some meds, or get off some meds, out eat better, or exercise more, out just stop writing until she finds some humility. She imagines she’s an Old Testament prophet, and claims “her job” is to dish out the tough love. No, Ann, you’re not. At least, not until you develop the immense compassion and love real saints have for the people they scold - rather than the derision, mockery and rejection of your screeds. You’re drunk with the sin of pride, Ann. Go to confession.
“cool” has the working definition of
“being at just the right state of rebellion to tradition or the status quo where you aren’t quite seen as dangerous to your peers”
There’s always the dichotomy of the elite left vs the sheep left.
Talking to a sheeperal, you’ll get really confused because they will either refuse to espouse a principle or they will justify having opposite principles depending on the situation.
I love Ann’s political/social commentary, but this isn’t my cup of tea.
And so you see Holy Communion is not cannibalism: not even analogous, not even close. It differs from cannibalism in every respect.
Plus, the only humanly decent response to Jesus when He says, "Take and eat, this is My Body," is not "You must be nus."
It's "Amen."

What are your thoughts on Saint Stephen’s speech before the council found in the Book of Acts chapter 7?
The saint’s words:
[51] You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also. [52] Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers: [53] Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. [54] Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him. [55] But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Amen.
What part of “take this. . . eat it. . . this is My body. . . do this. . .” don’t they understand?
Offensive title for the religion forum
Could not it be changed to just
The Cool Kids don’t actually believe any of that.......

I agree!
Good points.
I’m not Catholic, but I think you could be far more charitable. Yes, transubstantiation is wrong, but the source is the influence of Aristotle on the church. It is an interesting philosophical move, but it is heretical. Nevertheless, I’ve found that most Protestants are exactly like the Catholics she describes. They are pagans with a cultural Christian veneer. Transubstantiation isn’t the important issue.
