Fuck the church

The Vatican deny a LOT lol

you realise there would be a schism if francis actually said that?

Here's 95 reasons why

you know cardinals actually care?

luther didn't even want to separate from the catholic church

:dab:

Seriously what the hell does the Vatican even do

Luther didn't want to

but he had to

Besides store secret Christianity shit

because the Catholic Church was corrupt

the holy see is the number one non governmental provider of health services in the world

it's coordinates the efforts to accomedate 1 billion catholics

even if most of those aren't truly faithful

The Catholic Church is still corrupt

The path to heaven is paved with the skulls of bishops

Jesus christo

That's dark

that was said by st. john chyrsostom

I'mma find my ancestry

of course there will be corrupt individuals in an organisation as large as the catholic church

but the organisation itself is still not corrupted

Corruption is all around

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and *** the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.***

And it's the duty of the righteous to purify the misguided

Or something like that

"The Catholic Church is an institution I am bound to hold divine - but for unbelievers a proof of its divinity might be found in the fact that no merely human institution conducted with such knavish imbecility would have lasted a fortnight."

- Hilaire Belloc

Something deep

the church leads the righteous

there are none righteous outside of the church

there are of course unrighteous catholics

but there are no righteous non catholics

(except in certain circumstances which are totally irrelevant in the modern world)

for example, st. thomas aquinas (iirc) said aristotle was saved despite the fact he did not believe

mainly because he would've had no opportunity to do so

and he followed the law enscribed in his heart

it's called invincible ignorance and it's interesting

anyway

i'm going to sleep now

and if i may so myself
