 WELCOME TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH! I love the original caption on this btw. "Just the pope hanging out in front of a statue of Jesus."   Some papal sculptor just utterly nailed the soul of Pius XII in this sculpture. Note the complete lack of one. Anyway we all know about every single catholic priest's devotion to little boys but that's just the tip of the iceburg. Pick a century and I'll give you horrors to melt your loving brain. The whole mess is one giant pile of atrocities and utter smallmindedness/selfishness going back nearly 2000 loving years. The vatican should be carefully sacked (too much hidden history in there for a nuke unfortunately) and all remaining non-monastic clergy monitored, merely as a housekeeping measure for the good of all mankind.

The Tao Jones posted:The Catholics I've met have been an odd bunch. Their intricate knowledge of one of the most complex and prohibitive moral codes of any Christian sect has been exceeded only by their indifference about following it to even the slightest degree. Hahahaha. I don't blame the laity though. There is a human need to believe. It tickles brainparts. They've just been duped. The evil is in Rome. Those are the people who have been cynically manipulating generations for their own profit. Those are the ones most responsible for shielding pedophiles from justice. It is them who inherited the responsibility for the genocides and inquisitions and robber-popes.

Chinatown posted:they (humans) should probably burn the pope alive, imho I think the current pope is kinda cool though? He's complict sure but as far as I'm aware he hasn't been accused of skullfucking any children and he's actually kinda trying to unfuck the poor, which goes to show that anything truly can happen. Be warned you might one day accidentally fart out a unicorn.

Dads Dip Cup posted:they built some really fuckin rad cathedrals and poo poo, if I were Dracula I would definitely squat in one and fix the place up real nice when nobody's looking I'm not sure if they meant that poo poo to look evil, or if the notion that the architecture looks evil has developed in response to the harm wraught by the church. The end result is the same though.

Gammatron 64 posted:I grew up in an Italian and Irish Catholic family and to this date I still kind of dislike White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. This is helped by the fact that I live down south and down here they're mostly evangelical southern Baptist loonies. I think the Catholic Church has a terrible hosed up history and Martin Luther had some valid complaints, but this is the modern day and I think megachurch cults are way worse than the papacy. Catholics are the lesser of two evils in my book I'll grant you that megachurches are godawful and even the southern baptists at large have major issues. Catholicism doesn't have a monopoly on evil. What it does have is a structural corruption that none of the protestant churches can even hold a candle to. Evangelicals are crazy but they aren't covering up a worldwide pedophilia ring. Hell even scientologists can't indoctrinate, murder, and gently caress with peoples' lives fast enough to keep up, if only because there aren't enough of them. I understand you'd like to avert your eyes to the sins of the faith you were born into, but goddamn dude. It is a nightmarish contraption operating on the backs of drat near enslaved generations.

Strategic Tea posted:But surely he inherited the crusades?? Family != a hidebound and persistant organization like the vatican.

Drink Cheerwine posted:22nd century AD Pope Treilhard II is murdered and replaced by antipope/antichrist Lenar Hoyt, who then crowns himself Julius IV. Julius immediately begins offering the alien symbiotes found on Hyperion as a final sacrament that can ensure near-eternal physical life. Over the next few hundred years, the newly reborn church and it's Pax spread to nearly all of humanity under the leadership of their constantly dying and reborn leader. The depths of his treachery and the deceit of the symbiotes is not known until later, of course.

tenspott posted:Lol you're a retard. The United States has literally created a criminal client state in the desert for Jews to fulfill the bizarre fantasies of psychotic evangelicals yearning for the Apocalypse. Oh christ a diehard anti-israel person. As bad as Israel can be to certain people, it is still not literally a worldwide pedophilia ring. It hasn't taken peoples' money on knowingly false pretenses for generations. It hasn't stashed god knows how much art and history as though the history of the human race belongs to it. It may torture and kill like the catholic church has done, but there is a mismatch of scale because Israel is new and small compared to the catholic dominion. Yeah ok israel bad whatever. Niggas STILL can't hold a loving candle.

You know that the catholics are lying and that the pope isn't really magic, right? He doesn't get to just snap his fingers and make waterfalls/institutional inertia start flowing backwards. The dude is only human. Complaining about him not having fed all the world hungry yet at this juncture is like the people who were complaining that obama hadn't fulfilled his campaign promises, 14 minutes after he was sworn in.

hemophilia posted:I've thought about going through the trouble of becoming catholic, but what is the path to conversion like? I have real faith but my exposure to protestantism makes me sick and pope francis is a paragon right up there with how i define a good exercise of faith. the jesuits are something that just don't have a parallel in the american protestant world, nobody in these churches places any value on knowledge You have to have some solid jesus and some liquid jesus and since all men are of god, some blood and a few skulls will do fine. Take those to your local bishop. Don't forget to bring money of course. Checks or cards are fine too, the church takes paper or plastic.

hemophilia posted:yeah the church has an ugly past but Francis seems to be the antithesis of what you all are bitching about. It's like whining about the crimes of nations, which the Vatican has rarely ever risen to be worse than. The poo poo is not all in the past. Some of the rape and coersion and corruption is ongoing. This is what ratzinger resigned over. Francis is one man and as neat as I think he is, he's not going to be able to completely overcome the institutional inertia of the vatican.

hemophilia posted:He's been really hard at work shitcanning and shuffling around people as he can. The pope is a supreme executive in vatican and catholic affairs religious and governmental, and he's in a situation where being just one man means a lot more than it does in other walks of life. Hope this helps. Tougher popes than him have been murdered for loving with the pie too much. I don't think that's what is going to happen this time around, but it puts in perspective the fact that there are limits to a single pope's control over the vatican.
