Oof South American Catholicism is basically its own heretical cult, I don't even consider it part of the greater Church. I can get down with Catholicism in its european pure form, but it's so far gone down there they're worshipping fucking Santa Muerte, and not even the pope can get them to stop
Plus, it's my belief they're to blame for all the bullshit constantly coming out about Mary.
Honestly if that stuff could be settled I could probably be down with begoming caddligg XD
But it will never be, because the heresy is too strong and the church isn't based enough to have inquisitions anymore
BEGUM ORDODOGS
Mexico is North America
And I yearn for the re-establishment of El Santo Oficio as well
Nah fam, Marian stuff is just as sketch in the ortho tradition too, plus I'm not a fan of the mysticism that seems pretty pervasive as well
Also Mexico doesn't count as civilized continent, SA can keep it
They're just geographical things, and yes I don't get the obsession either
>this nigga doesnt venerate the Theotokos
Ave...
>patriarch
meme word
Southamerica and Mexico go far beyond mere veneration, but if we were to be triggered into disdain by the retardation of whatever group, we wouldn't even be christians
I just don’t get why those practices are not outlawed
Witches outside churches even demand that you don’t take pictures because it “scares the spirits”
It’s probably so they don’t get reported
WHEN I FINALLY GET
TO GO FISHING
I understand plain veneration, Bible is clear Mary was blessed among women, regardless of assumption or immaculate conception, or any other theological point of contention. She's not on par with Jesus, and even the sects that don't go full heresy claiming co-redemptrix still treat her with far more than her due.
The word co-redemptrix doesn't have to have a meaning as big as you are imagining
Strictly speaking, Mary should be a minor figure at the foot of the cross regardless of any miraculous gifts given to her
From what I've heard from those who ascribe to that way of thought, it does
I talked to a girl a few months ago who basically said she viewed Mary as God instead of Jesus because it's "hard for her to trust men," and she had a fucking breakdown when I told her that was super heretical
That is why I agree that in many places things have completely gotten out of hand
She was blessed, she was not an aspect of God, and she died for no sins. Memorial is good, she was important in the life of Jesus, but in the redemption story she's not that significant, and that's ok
Latin America as a whole has trash pagan influences all over
Ehhhhjj
She's pretty important to the redemption story man
I think he means
I mean, physically yes
In the sense of having some nature or aspect that enables redemption
She's like #2 in importance
Oh, yeah
After Jesus
But narratively she's a very minor character, there wasn't all that much we were meant to draw from her beyond the story of the conception and birth of christ, and some tidbits after
I assume we're talking people here
Yeah, but historically those parts have been given a very high importance
Especially with the interpretation of Revelation's Woman
John, Paul, Peter, all vastly outweigh her in biblical importance. Having a small role doesn't make her any less vital, but there are a lot of figures in the Bible like that.
I would disagree. They are important so far as the message goes for Christianity, but the significance of being picked to raise God as your child is far more significant IMO and the fathers agree with me
Isn't there mentions in revelation? But anyways, I don't think it is that important that someone puts emphasis on some or other person.
