It’s still fun tho! Like check this unironic totally-not-heretical-not-at-all-schism about “chad catholics”
Elsewhere the user is appealing to civil law lmao The pope is the supreme ruler of your religion you dolt, just stay evangelical if you don’t like it.
Honestly calling the pope an authoritarian dictator of the Vatican city-state would be a good bit
I’ve heard him described as the perfect Anarcho-Capitalist. He’s a supreme dictator of a micro-state whose population is exclusively him.
He’s a supreme dictator of a micro-state whose population is exclusively him.
Well, him and a bunch of Pedos so… Yeah, perfect ancap utopia.
Dude, apparently the most recent trigger for the removal of the bishop was because he was fucking with finances. Can you even fucking imagine an embezzling bishop genuinely thinking he’s holier than the Jesuit Pope who wears an iron cross and named himself after Francis of Assisi? The Pope who has the closest claim to a nomination by God as intended by the church in any recent history? Fuck off!
just stay evangelical if you don’t like it
“Bu-but the congregation in Midnight Mass seemed so nice!”
I used to be quite churchy, and then when I wasn’t and became quite lefty, I honestly felt right at home because both the church and the left splinters into ever expanding subgroups that splinter into even more subgroups at the drop of a hat. It’s a weird parallel but it’s definitely there
Gonna start arguing that Jesus was the first socialist, not because of what he believed, but because of all the schisms he’s been the cause of.
Jesus was a trot, confirmed?! 😳😳😳
Every now and then I see someone act like infighting and schisms are largely a left politics phenomenon. Oh boy is that ahistorical
the pope is a dictator who has the authority to exercise unlimited power
Literally the entire point of Catholicism, there was like a big schism about it and everything. Should have become Orthodox instead if you’re gonna whine about that.
also holy shit this has got to be one of the funniest community notes of all time:
prods unknowingly pretending to be catholic will never stop being funny to me
Reminds me of a conversation with my mom I had when I was ~16:
“I think gay people should be allowed to marry”
“The Pope would disagree with you”
“Well the Pope is wrong”
“You cant call yourself catholic if you think the pope is wrong about stuff”
" ok, then I’m not catholic"
Your religion is literally that the guy speaks directly with and acts on behalf of the supreme and omnipotent creator of the universe.
“I am a very proud and devout monarchist but it’s like, the King’s ministers keep doing shit I don’t like! Where’s the due process?!”
I think the “due process” is an artifact of the American (broad L) liberal political tradition they were brought up in.They have yet to jettison it while they move to this Catholic reactionary tradition that rejects all liberal thought post 1789.
Without due process?
LMAOElsewhere he asks “you think the pope can just order the execution of someone without a fair trial?”
Buddy your faiths doctrine is that he speaks to God. That’s the due process. It’s fine to not believe that, you’re just not a Catholic then.
Crossing my fingers for a Texan antipope
“Man whose religion explicitly believes in an omnipotent, omniscient creator-figure surprised to learn that religion also takes that being’s word, and the word of its supreme figurehead on Earth, as absolute law.” 🧅
“you mean to tell me this dude wearing a hat with three crowns is supposed to be some sort of absolute monarch?”
This is what happens when your understanding of history comes from Pepe memes and two and a half hour YouTube videos of guys whose highest level of history was senior year of high school talking about what caused the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It’s all about inventing a tradition to make American culture and politics the direct inheritor of ye olde tyme European Christendom, but then ignores the few dozen schisms and revolutions that were all about getting out from under that.
Simon de Montfort would have murdered every trad cath shithead on the internet for heresy
Oh damn, our boy got community noted
nooo I only joined for the esoteric rites you can’t just do the rest of Catholicism!!nooo I only joined for the esoteric rites
Just be orthodox then lmao. Doesn’t that faith have like five popes or something? The iconography kicks ass anyway.
I’m Ethiopian Orthodox and can confirm. The best iconography, although there is more fasting during holidays than even Islam and can’t eat pork.
