Psh, of course you'd say that.
That description doesn't even do it justice. If you look at the video you'll see he pulls out the gun, aims right at the black guy's chest and pulls the trigger.

Then he realizes the safety is still on and he's in a crowd of witnesses so instead he's takes the safety off and fires at the guy's feet. If he hadn't forgotten about the safety he would have just straight up shot a dude with zero prompting.

I hate to be *that guy* but it's actually even worse. The safety was off, and he pulled the trigger and heard a *click*. There was no round in the chamber. He racked the slide and then fired into the dirt.

Y'know, as soon as I finished posting that I went back to check the video cuz it had been a while since I'd seen it, and I noticed that immediately and went "Nah, I'm not gonna bother editing the post, it was close enough."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Ahlquist

quote:

Dale Ahlquist (born June 14, 1958, in St. Paul, Minnesota) is an author, public speaker, Evangelical convert to Catholicism, and Catholic apologist. He has written, edited, or contributed to more than fifteen books on G. K. Chesterton, including The Apostle of Common Sense, Common Sense 101: Lessons from G. K. Chesterton, The Complete Thinker, and In Defense of Sanity. Ahlquist is the president and co-founder of the American Chesterton Society and the publisher of its magazine, Gilbert. He is the creator and host of the television series, The Apostle of Common Sense, on the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). He is also the co-founder of Chesterton Academy, a Minneapolis-based high school rated one of the top 50 Catholic schools in the United States.

Besides obviously having written his own Wikipedia article, Evangelical converts are a huge red flag speaking from past experience. They don't really 'get' the cultural background of Catholicism, they just prefer it's aesthetics/structure to whatever Baptist megachurch they were born into. They come off as nerds who know everything about Papal Minutiae, but they very rarely fit into the community, culturally or socially.

I'm of the belief that most people can't really convert. Religion is just one of those things you have to be raised into to genuinely understand/believe in. Unless the beliefs are closely linked (ie: Methodist to Lutheran), I think there's always gonna be a cultural gap that can't be filled with belief or learning.

I'm sure there are exceptions but for the most part it feels like a kitchsy affectation.

I have no idea. Maybe they didn't. The jesuit in question was my uncle and he left the order after meeting my aunt.

He was a still a jesuit that time we blazed it tho

this feels kinda unrelated to the nazi fanthread, does anyone want to start a religious shitslinging thread here in this here CSPAM?

They were always about regarded their converts as human beings, albeit through the chauvinistic lens of needing to protect the heathens from eternal damnation. Jesuits were generally interested in adopting native languages, sometimes adapting their practices, and being more accepting of things that mainline (usually non-clergy) catholics in Spain would be horrified with and probably enslave/massacre people over.

Jesuits being the forefront of catholic colonialism as a whole, they ended up literally everywhere so speaking in generalities is pointless. Nobody speaks of Mexico, Angola, and the Phillippines (for example) as one entity, and same goes for jesuits in each colony.

They are also sometimes of a protestant boogeyman, because they were one of the first fronts of Catholic counter-reformation. A lot of their practices to do with working with local languages/traditions/society are responses to the demands of early protestants who felt alienated from a Rome-and-latin-centered church. They were really, really, good at converting people.

They may have calmed down slightly upon realizing that the world had passed them by and they were completely irrelevant to the intellectual life of the 20th century.

I’m (((not Catholic))) but have enough Catholic family to feel like y’all are my close-enough cousins. Protestantism scares the crap out of me. The historical legacy of the Catholic Church is plenty full of horrors and evils, I don’t intend to gloss over that fact. But there’s something about being very old that makes Catholicism seem more morally grounded to me compared to American Protestantisms. Like, more value given to education, tradition, philosophy, and good moral conduct.

Sola fide, sola scriptura seems kind of bonkers to me, and it doesn’t surprise me that the Evangelical right in America is largely scripturally illiterate and ethically bankrupt.
