Turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts
Interesting contrast to the church itself, which has the capacity of turning people into passive consumers of thoughts that have been painstakingly processed for centuries.
Isn’t that strange though? Catholics trace themselves back to the disciples (though I think Roman and Orthodox both claim this), yet the new ones that split somewhat recently claim they are the real ones.
Yes the Apostle Peter was the first Pope. Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism, the Evangelists etc are are offshoots that for one reason or another rejected the Pope and Canon Law.
It’s definitely very arbitrary! There’s plenty of other divisions within Christianity, but I’ve found it’s the more radical evangelical sect of Christianity (read: the ones in the White House) that claim Catholics aren’t Christians the hardest. I
Aren’t there multiple? Besides the ancient rift between Eastern and Western Catholic churches, there are also sedevacantists that seem focused on just being antisemites still (Mel Gibson’s dad had his own pseudo-Catholic church).
I don’t know about the West, but a lot of Catholic community in SEAsia (excluding PH) are not blindly following the Pope.
I know a lot of people in the community instantly criticizing any form corruption or negativity.
Even our mass regularly ask community to be more rationale in thinking.
I’m American ex catholic and yeah that was my childhood church. That said we also have a lot of people who convert to catholicism for the aesthetics and to crusade larp, and one of them insisted on arguing with the previous pope about basic doctrine as the old man was dying…
So yeah, you’re supposed to listen to the pope but nobody does.

Pretty sure that’s their whole game. More projection, I guess. sigh
They don’t appreciate their fanbase being taken away
Those damned Catholics.

There’s also a big rift within Catholicism that most people outside of it don’t hear about much.

Passive consumers of overthought thoughts?
Passive consumers of poorly thought thoughts.

Well, raising above passive consumer is called heresy there.
