And Mary revealed to one of the saints that freemasons aren’t exactly greeted by the angels of God when they die.

gonna be honest, was interested in the masons in the past

but if thats the case then idk

as a kid I was intrigued because I knew nothing about them and they seemed like some sort of edgy secret society

but even my boomeresque catholic mum knew they were evil

id been told by people they're basically a club of rich people who help each other with stuff

^

Depends basically where and who they are.

The Apollo lodge in Wales is essentially a bunch of rich Oxbridge Graduations who wear silly hoods and cloaks over their dinner jackets and drink copious amounts of Gin.

But then, they still ascribe to the same organisation, so fiery pits for those eccentric drunkards, too.

Most of the low levels are harmless and don’t know what’s going on tbh

It’s the high levels that are the problem

But all the same, you shouldn’t join the Masons regardless

What does <#557359532838354944> mean

"There is no salvation outside the Church"

Oh nice

Is byzantine catholic an oxymoron? no offense intended

no

@LuxCo there's actually an interesting documented history about it, there might of been a combination of the churches past the Council of Lyons in the 14th century were it not for the Byzantine emperor's untimely death, and the pope pulling out in favor of French and Spanish interests

@Deleted User 34578fb24a name of document or google search?

For the Council of Lyons, or a history about byzantine catholics?

byantine Cat.?

should I just search up their history?

closest you might get to important politicla figures is pro-unionists towards the end of the empire

overall there's not much covering the specific subject

ah ok

yeah

conversion to catholicism went out the window after Manuel II if I recall

oh i see.

in short theyre catholic and practiceable by catholics?. I mean I love Latin Rite but I heard of a Catholic who is going to attend one, i just wasnt sure.

you mean traditional latin mass?

yeah

They're basically orthodox in communion with Rome, same byzantine traditions etc but just as Catholic as you and I

you can go to a byz cath church and receive all the sacraments whenever, going to their divine liturgy counts as sunday obligation too

@Orrbit ah that cleared another question I was going to ask

yeah, I'm more familiar with the history of the Empire and it's religion rather then modern day byz-catholics

@Orrbitoh snap thats insane (new knowldge to me)

they're a perfect example of how the church is truly catholic - meaning universal

most of us are Roman Catholics, but one doesn't have to be Roman to be Catholic

@Orrbit what does that mean?
