There's nothing wrong with being catholic
I drew that frog a billion years ago and forgot about it
Catholicism
Heresy practiced by pederasts.
Protestantism
Closest to God, closest to authentic Christianity; perverted by heretics.
Orthodoxy
"I can't believe it's not Christianity!"
the pope speaks for god o algo
uhh except when i dont like it then he's just a person
also ignore the fact that some popes will excommunicate people and then the next pope will undo it uhhhhh
in mathematics this is called a contradiction and invalidates your proof
what about "I'm catholic but waking up early for the sunday mass is too much of a hassle" kind of catholic
unless you are an underage altar boy
7/10 pepe
So literally most Catholics?
left eye too fucked
get kicked out of a club
next owner is chill and lets you back in
God is apparently a bouncer
wait a second...
catholicism is not bad but it does have downsides
offers a simplistic answer to very complex questions, making people less intellectually curious (like any religion)
makes people slightly more likely to believe in other kinds of potentially harmful woo like astrology and psychoanalysis
discourages personal excellence, focusing on the community - this is one of the reasons Brazil is poor
so disengaged from real life that people are leaving it for Protestantism in droves, and Brazil will become majority Protestant in 10 years
demographic trends mean that in the near future it will be the religion of primarily Nigeria and the Philippines
doesn't even offer coherent moral guidance - there are practicing catholics on the far left and the far right
the principal core belief - that God's enduring presence on Earth manifests as a bureaucratic organization - is morally repugnant
i wonder how many new people there actually are on here

whatever don't care
Why don't you transubstantiate this *grabs crotch*
making people less intellectually curious
Such as learning that a man is actually a woman, a child has the cognitive development to discern whether they want to castrate themselves (and it's perfectly healthy and normal for an adult to decide to destroy their genitals, nothing wrong here at all), having children is bad but importing millions of Muslims ready to rape and murder your people is good, suicide is true freedom, and so is overdosing on opioids; feeling a little down because you're not living your live the humans are meant to live? Have this antidepressant. Didn't work? Get in that suicide pod and enjoy freedom. Now that's real intellectualism.
>discourages personal excellence, focusing on the community - this is one of the reasons Brazil is poor
Brazil is one of the least Catholic nations on Earth, diametrically opposed to the Catechism and Code of Canon Law, Japan is more aligned with Catholic values than Brazilians are; plus Matthew 19:24.
I did say Catholicism was pretty good despite those drawbacks.
However, including "The scientific method" and "Universities, institutionalized education" oversells Catholicism as it exists today. That was a long time ago. This is like Muslims being proud of their golden age.
Catholic schools are still pretty good but it's kind of sad what happened to Jesuits of the Enlightenment vs today.
The most Catholic country in the world is NOT Catholic!
But anyway, being poor is actually good (proving my point)
lol
>makes people slightly more likely to believe in other kinds of potentially harmful woo like astrology and psychoanalysis
Practicing Catholics (or anyone belonging to an Apostolic faith) are the least likely to develop superstitious beliefs, especially orthodox Catholics because of our Thomistic understanding to reality. Atheists, oddly enough, are the most likely to develop superstitious beliefs as means of filling the void in their soul.
>The most Catholic country in the world is NOT Catholic!
Simply supporting abortion automatically severs the individual from the Church. You cease to be Catholic the moment you violate Church doctrine. Simply calling oneself Catholic while actively violating Church doctrine doesn't make one Catholic, in fact, it makes one an enemy of the faith. Japan is more aligned with Catholic values than Braizl is.
>so disengaged from real life that people are leaving it for Protestantism in droves, and Brazil will become majority Protestant in 10 years
Debauchery, hedonism, and overall satanism/worship of the flesh are the reasons why Brazil 'was' becoming more protestant. The numbers stabilized and we're expected to see a regrowth in Catholicism with major protestant leaders becoming Catholic in recent years.
>so disengaged from real life
I wonder what your standards for "real life" are.
>demographic trends mean that in the near future it will be the religion of primarily Nigeria and the Philippines
Deus vult.
This simply means that if you want to adhere to the moral values of Catholicism, being Catholic is actually less effective than being Shinto or Buddhist. Which is why your comparison of Japan and Brazil will give the same result for Japan and any other Catholic-majority country. Institutional Catholicism is not effective at inducing people to commit to its own moral values. Probably because everyone is led to believe that they can do bad things as long as they feel sorry afterwards, a concept that doesn't exist in Japan.
>doesn't even offer coherent moral guidance - there are practicing catholics on the far left and the far right
Catholicism—as the only true religion on Earth—is also the only institution with a strict hierarchy, a visible head, a strict set of values and doctrines that are universally binding. You know absolutely nothing about Catholicism. That's the basics of the holy faith, and the biggest criticism we get, for being too "sheep", precisely as our LORD commands us.
>the principal core belief - that God's enduring presence on Earth manifests as a bureaucratic organization - is morally repugnant
What you call "bureaucratic" is actually order. You're repulsed by order, which is very much expected from a servant of satan
I'm Catholic because Catholicism is true, it's that simple.
Probably because everyone is led to believe that they can do bad things as long as they feel sorry afterwards, a concept that doesn't exist in Japan.
No wonder they have some of the lowest birthrates and highest suicide rates. Brazil has the low birthrates plus many other demonic attributes that are thankfully less prevalent in Japanese society. If they truly embraced Catholicism—and the fullness of grace that comes with it—it would be the best nation on Earth, and that applies to all nations.
You know absolutely nothing about Catholicism.
I know that Biden, JD Vance, Bolsonaro, Lula are all Catholic and they seem to disagree on a lot of moral issues. Feel free to tell me how they are not real Catholics or something but they are literally members of the Church.

Being Catholic means fighting an uphill battle. With countries like yours and your neighbor the United States exerting as much of their influence and power as possible to serve satan, that's quite the uphill battle. Then again we must also separate weed from wheat.
rare good leaf post
I know that Biden, JD Vance, Bolsonaro, Lula are all Catholic and they seem to disagree on a lot of moral issues.
Depending on the severity of their disagreements (such as Biden and Lula) they're automatically severed from the Church, which means they're legally (by divine law) not Catholics. And I don't care what you think about it, that's Canon Law and your opinion is irrelevant.
Rome is responsible for a lot of corruption in South America, whether you people realize it or not.
Feel free to tell me how they are not real Catholics or something but they are literally members of the Church.
You have this bizarre transgender mindset that simply calling yourself something automatically makes you that something. That's not how Catholicism works. Biden and Lula are, by divine law, severed from the Church. Simply refusing to attend Sunday Mass is enough to sever the individual from the Church, and they're actively attacking the Catechism and Canon Law.
Are you a sedevacantist? The Vatican explicitly refused to excommunicate Biden
Says the whore of Babylon. The only reason why your nation isn't being cooked by a rain of sulfur balls right now is because Christ found ten righteous Catholics there facing prison time for expressing their disagreements about US national and international policies.
tradcuck schizo here is just posting strawmen and schizo hateful rantings
yea no wonder cucktholicism is becoming irrelevant
Are you a sedevacantist?
Sedevacantists aren't Catholics. They're severed from the body of Christ just like any other apostate.
The Vatican explicitly refused to excommunicate Biden
They don't have to, he automatically excommunicated himself for being pro-abortion. Archbishop Charles Chaput already stated Biden is not in communion with the Church specifically for violating Canon Law regarding abortion. You really need to study the basics of Catholicism before spreading your demonic rhetoric around. A lot of opinions, zero truth.
you should go see a doctor for that stroke you're having
yea no wonder cucktholicism is becoming irrelevant
Sad. Shame our enemies can't reproduce.
do nothing
win
you're a shitty person and you're not a christian just a larper
most war and murder rate
nothing bad about it
I wonder what your standards are for being a Christian. Actually, never mind.
Wasn't your "prophet" a prolific penis kisser?
the more i learn about christianity the more christian and atheist i feel simultaneously
kek schizohue summoned
you're not catholic, you are a protestant in denial.
reminder that the papist church supports gay priests and soon transexual ones too!
cucktholics are the most woke people on the planet
i'm don't even bother posting all the woke shit that francisco defends and the percentage of cucktholics that vote for leftist politicians who do the same
cucktholicism lost too bad the damage done in this country is already irremediable brazil would be much better today if it had been founded under protestant values
are you refer non canon like hadith and post canon of your own? Hahahah
reminder that catholicism is terminally incompatible with your chud ideas
a muslim country is less violent than a supposed christian country
Obviously mutually exclusive.

Conclusion:

We can conclude for now that the Shroud image is that of a real human form of a scourged, crucified man. It is not the product of an artist. The blood stains are composed of hemoglobin and also give a positive test for serum albumin. The image is an ongoing mystery and until further chemical studies are made, perhaps by this group of scientists, or perhaps by some scientists in the future, the problem remains unsolved.
Welcome back, sir. You're still not a woman btw.
*yawn*
You're never getting rid of that Y-chromosome btw.
there's nothing wrong with being c-ACK!
you realize brazil is the capital of trannies right kek
mentally ill freak
there's nothing wrong with being c-ACK!-ACK
it's seething because the pope is pro-gay priests KEK
he can't go against the CEO of his denomination without being a protestant!
you're another schizo freak chikaner
We should start thanking the whore of Babylon known as the United States of America, the capital of all that is debauchery and hedonism.
mindbroken because his catholic church is pozzed! ahahahah
he wants to be a chud but he's catholic :(
NOOOOO IF I DONT LIKE IT, IT DOENS'T COUNT
cope freak
We have fire to take care of that
Jesus is God
Your transgender mindset of actively rejecting reality is entertaining, to say the least. The devil can be funny at times.
Archbishop Charles Chaput already stated Biden is not in communion with the Church specifically for violating Canon Law regarding abortion.
Yes, and he got reprimanded for it by the Vatican
And then Biden was told by the Pope himself to keep receiving communion
be mindbroken schizo catholic from non-catholic tranny land who canonically commits heresy comparing povertyballers to jesus and are all pagan heretics known for massive drunk orgy known as karneval
think chatgpt is apparently the bible or something
kek can't make this up
no wonder their average iq is 83
no wonder this is true en.wikipedia.org
they learn their place
kek
Yes, and he got reprimanded for it by the Vatican
For what Canonical violation?
And then Biden was told by the Pope himself to keep receiving communion
Did he speak ex cathedra when he made that statement?
On the other hand, I really like India. They got it all figured out already.
Indians managed to preserve some of the most ancient traditions. Catholics have a lot to learn from them.
>offers a simplistic answer to very complex questions, making people less intellectually curious (like any religion)
Yeah, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, they deliberately helped foment a anti-intellectual culture, which was further obvious during Spanish colonialism. From what I've gathered from practicing boomer Catholics, it seems like they actively tried suppressing critical thinking whenever possible.
>so disengaged from real life that people are leaving it for Protestantism in droves, and Brazil will become majority Protestant in 10 years
This is probably more to blame for the rise of anti-catholicism having made the Church retreat to a defensive position, though that's just my assumption.
What would you consider to be "anti-intellectual culture"?
Reggaeton
From what I've gathered from practicing boomer Catholics, it seems like they actively tried suppressing critical thinking whenever possible.
Pope Leo XIII made the teachings of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Thomistic theology) the standard for the Church, specifically because of his works regarding faith and reason, stating that the two are inseparable. Catholic scholastics is the source of our modern understanding of the scientific method, where a man can never become a woman, for example.
no time for wannabe chud cucklich thread, it happened, foreigners WILL pay up
Your country will be predominantly Catholic and Eastern Orthodox by the end of this century.
