Gammatron 64 posted:I grew up in an Italian and Irish Catholic family and to this date I still kind of dislike White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. This is helped by the fact that I live down south and down here they're mostly evangelical southern Baptist loonies. I think the Catholic Church has a terrible hosed up history and Martin Luther had some valid complaints, but this is the modern day and I think megachurch cults are way worse than the papacy. Catholics are the lesser of two evils in my book Can't trust anglos. Not jokin.

Gaunab posted:could someone explain how saints don't violate the 10 commandments; i don't know any catholics you don't pray to the saints, you just ask them to pray for you. Like "hey bro mom's sick send some good vibes for me thanks" just because you're dead doesn't mean you're not part of the church anymore FizFashizzle posted:former catholic school student current alcoholic checking in same but I never felt guilt

SniperWoreConverse posted:they're gonna have to star importing priests from poor countries lol They tested this out in Ireland, and it failed big time. They brought in young priests from Africa and South America, and the irish public didn't like them. Attendances went down, the racists outright complained about not being able to understand them, etc. I can see female priests in the Catholic Church within the next 50 years.
