I should have. But I’m far too charitable, and my charity more often than not becomes submission to sinful behaviour.

God give me strength. Stubbornness is virtuous when standing against heathens.

Anyway, how is everybody?

I’m starting to wonder more and more about particular racial differences.

Not just black and white, but the different European ethnicities.

Celts, Germanics, etc.

I feel as if it’s anti-Christian to favour different ethnicities, though.

Your nation adopts a set of values and cultural ideals, though. Your race is merely an accident of birth.

If I can be entirely honest and hopefully without judgement here, I’ve been desperately trying not to be sucked into idiotic pagan LARPing lately.

Their theology is 100% objectively incorrect, but they make good points.

Christianity on the whole has become weak, and is somewhat inherently globalist, even if to a small extent.

What led to what? Christianity becoming weak and globalist?

The notion of Christian unity has always existed, from Iberia all the way to the Eastern churches in India and Africa.

I like how everybody has a shot at true salvation and a love for Christ, but frankly I don’t want to cohabit with negroes and sub-continentals just because they worship the same God as I.

Because they’re inherently inferior to white races, Kristov.

The fact that there are still some isolated African and Indian tribes which still haven’t discovered fire or the wheel.

That’s hardly a valid excuse for such severe civilisational retardation.

I’ve just spent my evening trying to explain to an Irishman how his country is heading for the gutter if his fellow countrymen don’t make serious and drastic changes, only for him to respond gloatingly about how terrible England currently is.

This is why blind nationalism is terrible.

A substantial part of loving your country is being prepared to admit that she’s becoming horrifically bad, whilst trying to change such.

Yet now when I wish to reconcile with him, he continues to respond with anti-English jokes and insults.

I don’t know why I try.

The more you get to know them, the more you tend to realise how quite politically unsound even conservative Irish people are.

The problem with Ireland is that it was a country built on clericalism enforced by democratically elected leaders.

Whilst clericalism is all well and good, you cannot trust a representative democracy to uphold it.

The founding principles of the Irish Republic caused nothing more than a Frankenstein state.

Clericalism, Catholic social policy, no distinct separation of Church and state, yet with regular elections, a secular head of state, unending social freedoms, and absolute equality.

It makes no sense. It’s a bastardised hybrid system.

It’s for the exact same reason that we ought not be too excited about the newfound socially conservative successes in the US and Italy.

Democracy and Christian virtues never successfully cohabit for more than a few decades (at most).

I hope you’ll forgive my rant. I’ve just become incredibly irritated by some democracy-supporting Christians as of late.

The Assumption of the Virgin.

I always like to meditate on this most glorious mystery in times of despair. It reminds me that Our Lady had not once lost hope in her entire earthly life. She bore witness to her Son’s humiliation, torture, and execution, and yet she did not lose hope. She remained by her Son’s side, in the hope and knowledge that His day of victory was at hand. Because of this, she is rewarded by an eternity of glory as Queen of Heaven.

We, too, shall be rewarded for maintaining hope in the will of Christ. We ought to, even in the face of such sickening societal degeneracy. For hope in God is righteous, and it is only through righteous men that the will of God shall be done, until He comes again.

Monarchy is the only form of governance for anybody who wishes to permanently enforce Christian social teaching.

Yo

Give me a good and fast comeback.

Regardless of whether the Orthodox Church permits Communion for Catholics or not, it is irrelevant. No true Catholic ought to receive outside of the Catholic Church.

A picture I took whilst hiking in Wales.

“One boy was forced to stand on a bed in a rectory, stripped naked, and pose as Christ on the Cross for the priests. They took photos of their victim, adding them to a collection of child pornography, which the produced and shared on church grounds.”
-Josh Shapiro, Attorney General to the Commonwealth of PA

Hang them all.

Publicly hang them in St Peter’s Square.

Hello

What in Hell is this person in /rel/?

It’s a reasonably active profile, too. Not some sort of lurker.

I could not care less.

After some conversation, I’d actually quite like to see *her* stay.

She appears to have potential, but she has also fallen victim to the almost rather pagan-esque relativist idea that one can outwardly hold certain beliefs, yet live their life in a completely different manner.

She is a very peculiar melting pot of lifestyles.

This nonsense is too confusing. I’m going to watch some baseball.

I do believe there is some sort of acknowledgement of her poor lifestyle. She seemed open to conversation rather than just telling me to “f*ck off” and “respect [her] pronouns”.

No, she said she’s in a heterosexual relationship with a male.

Just very very pumped on testosterone, I imagine.

Too much cranberry juice.

I assume that facial hair dude is the male in said heterosexual relationship.

Unless todays’s hormone pills are so effective that a woman can effortlessly grow a full beard.

Fugg, Dietrich Stalin purged her.

Either him, or one of the other ten thousand admins in /rel/.

Oh gosh, Elon Musk is having a mental breakdown.

He’s gathering evidence for child rape against that British diver he called a pedophile.

The email is verifiable.

Japan isn’t SE Asia

I mean, to be honest, I’d quite like to visit ‘nam one day.

WEW

Dolan could be about to fall, lads.

Political assassins = extra-judicial killing = sinful

The only time I believe political assassinations would be justified if the rule of law has been positively shattered and we are living in anarchy.

Can’t be extra-judicial is there is no judiciary.

Whoever was asking, duelling is forbidden by the Church, punishable by anathema. This was established in the Council of Trent.

Besides, it's a very prideful act.

>boomers in my family are fighting
>they shower me in religious gifts in order to try and gain my support

Poland has become increasingly unsound recently, but if this is true (it’s Reddit, I know), this redeems a lot of that.

Had an Eastern Rite priest sing the Gospel at the Missa Solemnis yesterday.

Lowest voice I’ve ever heard.

Can somebody explain, rather extensively, the recent troubles in the Orthodox Church regarding the autocephaly in Ukraine?

Cigars and pipes can be classy, but they’re being hijacked by these stupid incels and pseudo-gentlemen.

They’re both at risk of becoming a meme.

Just don’t walk around with one in your mouth and you won’t be contributing to the death of them.

Nothing particularly wrong with cigarettes either.

They’re massively unhealthy for you, though.

Of course, all within reason.

I mean, if you’re a young person and walk around the street with a pipe, I think it’s fair to say you’re a blatant LARPer. I agree with Kristov there.

On the other topic, the guy who owned The Patriarchy is hilarious.

Regardless of what we say about each other here, no LARPing we accuse each other of can possibly match the way he acts.

After all of my ranting against cigarettes, I drunkenly smoked one for the first time yesterday.

I must admit, it’s quite enjoyable, although one was enough for me.

I do believe I would much prefer cigars or tobacco pipes, but either would make me appear as a LARPer, even though my reasoning for investing in them would be for nothing other than personal enjoyment.

Cigarettes are seriously degenerate, though. I do rather regret smoking one yesterday.

I remember vaping.

Everybody's 14 once.

I've been recommended some mild Romeo y Julietas.

As well as Montecristo

Of course

Freud also killed God, though.

In all seriousness, mouth cancer is a legitimate disease.

Oh, I love drinking.

I don't see a waste of money in a few Sunday afternoon pints with friends after Mass.

What do you work as?

The hatred of Christianity in amongst the highest ranking members of the German government was seething.

Don't kid yourself, they were by no means allies to the Church.
