This one will be the last one for the night.

Catholicism's centralized approach is undoubtedly the best IMO, besides the Pentarchy perhaps.

Good night

g'night

Goodnight.

And yeah, it's a pretty solid base, it's just the recent figures and the second vatican council have sort of caused a decline

Indeed.

As it turns out, when you try to reconcile the belief of the church with the degenerate modern world, the church loses its following

Exactly.

Catholicism is making really good progress towards reunification with Orthodoxy IMO.

They almost did it in the Council of Florence didn't they?

The only reason I haven't gone full-on Ghawk on it is that there's not much of a theological difference other than _Amoris laetitia_, which is a Franciscan nightmare of an exhortation.

And yeah they did

But now they've gotten to a point where the primary difference is jurisdiction

Orthodox Saints not recognized by Catholicism are frequently taught in Catholic schools and so on.

And that's why I sort of go more towards Catholicism than Orthodoxy

I'm not a man of the east exactly

Yeah pretty much

Like I actually have a sort of hybrid theology myself, I lean more towards Catholicism in a ton of ways and also I believe in a lot of the esoteric Russian Orthodox teachings that other Orthodox churches generally don't share.

But anyways, for now, I'm going to sort of stick with the prots, any way I can serve God is good enough. If the Church can be a more upright authority in administering the faith, then I'll move there.

I have my faith things will get better after Francis.

Indeed.

I can understand not wanting to convert to Catholicism because of Francis. It's sad.

The amount of people that man has kept away from the church is uncountable.

Indeed.

Hopefully Schönborn gets the role, he's a great guy

I don't keep up with Papal succession speculation.

Lol

eh, I just sort of look at it once in a while

Ah

Cardinal Sarah is a good guy too but if he becomes the pope he'd piss off everyone in the alt-right

plus he's somewhat too liberal on the muslim issue
