Running back in the thread a bit, but just favorite thing about the sola scriptura folks is how many of them insist on the creeds as well, which are most definitely... not scripture.

I grew up Catholic and didn't leave the church until I was around 19. A couple years afterwards, the priest who had made the biggest impression in my life was busted for growing pot in the rectory. His image was even featured in Maxim magazine for that stunt. Here's an article about it (and click the link below for a pic): quote:The Marijuana Priest Nocheez fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Jul 26, 2016 |

Zippy the Bummer posted:I never got the complaint about Catholicism being all guilt-trippy. Sure there is a long list of Bad Things Not to Do but there is also the afforded option of confession, which amounts to "spend two minutes in an anonymous box telling your bad deeds to a dude who has heard the world's most horrible poo poo a thousand times and doesnt give a gently caress what you're saying and your sin-o-meter can be reset to zero with a few mumbled words" The guilt trip stuff isn't about the sins you commit though, it's about you having Original Sin which means you're a piece of poo poo loser from the get go and you better throw yourself on Jesus' mercy because even though you deserve eternal hellfire for being a terrible person Jesus is a good guy; but no matter what always remember you're poo poo bc Eve was a slut. Surely you see how that could gently caress up a kid's upbringing a little bit idk

Wow, those pictures sure are on the nose I'll give them that. Also, at first glance I thought the subtitle of this thread was The Temple of Elemental Evil, which seems like it works pretty well. Suggest change.

Other guilt trippy things catholics do: - use the occasion of a funeral to reproach the children of the deceased for their lax church attendance

My gf's psycho aunt showed up to a family funeral for the sole purpose of telling everyone (in the middle of the service) that the deceased was a sinner and was going to hell and yada yada. People had to physically lead crazy aunt away while the grandma was bawling. Aunt is just some nutter Protestant who thinks the world will end soon though, not a Catholic religious nuts are just fuckstains in general

Nearly the whole family ostracized my great uncle. He went to China as a missionary priest, had a crisis of faith after a flood that killed thousands, married a Chinese woman, who I believe died on a death march after the Japanese invasion. He survived but didn't want to face his family and hid in the Philippines. In '49 he returned home with a Filipino wife & three daughters by her. For reasons never explained to me the pope took his confession and assigned the penance of renewing his vow of chastity. I assume leaving the priesthood without dispensation is a mortal sin. Anyway that's the story of a man being told by the pope to stop loving his wife. Family still kept him at arm's length even after he was forgiven by the pope. Apparently it's hard to go back from Father to cousin.

In my 20s a good friend died in a freak accident and his mom's fuckstain Evangelical pastor or whatever basically said he was such a nice guy it's really too bad he is going to Hell. Sometimes I wish that I would have had the wherewithal to stand up and shout the bastard down, but it was a long time ago and don't know that it would have actually accomplished much.

Jerry Mumphrey posted:is this the final boss of the matrix??! Pius XII, ww2 pope. Alternately praised for talking some nice game about what happened to Jews and "hay we should be peaceful and loving" and reviled for doing nothing about it + playing nice with nazis. When you look into the statue's eyes, you will find only emptiness behind the glasses. That is intentional.

The Vatican harbored hundreds of Jews within its walls during the war, and hid thousands more in various safehouses scattered in and around Rome, I wouldn't call that "doing nothing" or whatever

achillesforever6 posted:You'd think at this point the church would get rid of their dumb priest chasity and marriage laws seeing how priests are dying off and the reason those laws were put into place was so the church could hold the estate of the places where the priests lived. But you see sex is MAGIC and these superholy dudes are extra magic because they don't have the sex and can be all "YOU ARE HAVING THE SEX WRONG!" and "YOU HAD THE SEX AND NOW CAN'T HAVE AN ABORTION" and stuff. The superholy dudes would be less magic if they had the sex too, you see, and wouldn't be able to be properly authoritative and disapproving like they are now.

Eastern Catholic priests can marry, for example, and they are as valid as Roman Catholic priests. So no.

i support the existence of the catholic church because all japanese video games are either about the catholic church or tentacle monsters (sometimes both), and for me that's just the right amount of variety.
