Redpills for y'all on the Lodge question

@Helter Seltzer ☧ What?

man ill sound crazy - but im just bored. What if vatican II was secretly a way to keep us in Catholic traditions

obviously not true lmao

but it did filter people from lukewarm and orthodox catholics

.....What?

ye nvm

VII was essentially to try and bring Lutherans into the church.

Why do prots attack Catholicism but not Orthodoxy?

Is it Geographical?

Literally none of my former protestant friends knew about Orthodoxy, but seem to be the iconoclastic goyims when it comes to Catholicism.

Because Protestantism is in protest against the Catholic Church.

Plus, I imagine the vast majority of prots have never come into contact with the Orthodox.

In the West at least.

Orthodoxy is the original protestantism

Thats why

^ I personally think that's an unfair comparison.

The great schism is essentially political, they didn't dick about with the theology heinously.

So, my Prot stepmother wants to come with me to Mass on Sunday.

Noice.

thats good Caedes dont scare her away with information. Trust me i messed up that way

I won't. She's been to a few before (mostly funeral masses), so she mostly knows the drill.

My suggestion would convince her to the ancillary stuff.

Vespers, Exposition of the blessed sacrament, etc.

Can I be Catholic and own Ortho art and icons?

Ye

noice thanks

Np

If that wasn't allowed I'd be fricked

Most of my mini shrine is ortho stuff

i think it's acceptable if it depicts a saint canonized by the catholic church

but it's wrong if the saint depicted is not a catholic saint

ah gotcha gotcha

question

is Constantine a saint in the RCC

@Crux I want to say yes

I've heard both yes and no

No mostly from Latin Rite

Every single Eastern Rite Catholic I have asked has given me a very convincing yes

While the Latin Rite Caths I've asked vary between "I think", "probably", "maybe" and "no because he was baptized arian"

There's no veneration at all in the Roman Church but if the Eastern Churches are fully Catholic too then surely that means he is a Saint?
