There are numerous historical examples of this

that didnt mean they were condoned by the scriptures

those were family arrangements

The first consenting of women in marriages was handfasting of the northern european religions. The women had the right to choose and even divorce

Just because people conducted those actions does not mean the catholic church recognized those pagan behaviors

Catholicism had a loose *concent* as a woman wouldnt disobey the family

Who cares what is traditional or not. Is it a net positive?

yes

Tradition is based on what worked

👏

it's better than the STD fest of Midle-eastern polygamy

The harams

banging little boys

You realize most catholic traditions were taken from pagan traditions

False

Ahhh, yes, the Tea Boys or w/e

wrong again

False

are you catholic? @DanConway

Obviously

False

Ever hear the Constantinople Meeting. It is where they took and left much of the bible and added pagan traditions to aid conversion

Lol

like taking pagan heros and making them saints

The counsel of Nicea

False again

Lmao.

Read a book and stfu

Bias books

*bias books*

dont just read one account

Aka Catholic scholars

That is not an argument

The pagan hero -> saint thing is legit

you need citations

The counsel of nicea was about making a sect of Christianity Heretical

That was what converted Emperor Constantine

Saints are people who ahieve greatly through divine intervention is the generally accepted simple-definition. Pagans and non-believers can become saints

*"That which is presented without evidence can be denied with the same"*

And yet you have provided nothing for your claim <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
