I'm a Christian (protestant) and always found the elevation of one man by Catholics to be kind of inappropriate. By what authority can he dictate to billions what is appropriate to believe when it comes to clear cut subjects in the Bible when it comes to homosexuality or abortion for example.

Sola scriptura


To be fair, the Anglican church in the present is an entire rat's nest of heresy and degeneracy (not that they represent true Protestantism)

Relativism and 'friendliness' with the world has bled into many denominations. I think some are more guilty than others, like the Anglicans or Catholics IMO. That's why i think the Bible is and should be the one and true north, not contemporary preachers that want to fill their pews so they sell a watered down version of Christianity to be palatable to increasingly secular western man.

Like any church, you either choose for yourself like in a supermarket, or your mom decides for you

Pope Francis was an example of decency and genuine humanism which global elites so acutely lack. So rare today, hard to identify any prominent equivalents at all

The decent and humanitarian thing to do would be open up any of the dozens of palaces they own in Rome, to these migrants. Yet, according to the AP the Vatican has taken in exactly 12 people seeking asylum.

Reminds me of the people who live in the USA, in gated communities, who call for no border wall and giving illegal immigrants a free pass.

Virtue signaling your beliefs to show how good of a person you are, but when it comes time to practice what you preach... crickets.

:rofl:

The list goes on and on.

People changing their profile pic to Ukraine flag but they can't point it out on a map and would never dream of going to fight over there.

Cities in California claiming to be migrant friendly sanctuary cities, but when a new, low income apartment complex is about to be built right near their mansions... they shut that shit down so fast.

Seeing some pretty reputable sources claiming JD showed him a face there was no coming back from. Insiders are saying the dark holes in his eyes were a look into the 9 hells themselves.
