Date: April 5th, 2015 8:55 PM Author: Laughsome theater coffee pot most catholics don't have strong opinions on protestants, they're different christians. I was at mass the day after the Syrian massacre and they were explicitly called our christian brothers and called martyrs. that thought process actually is more from evangelical nondenominationals against catholics. the catholic church, in america, is generally concerned with right to life as a social issue and crosses the aisle to gather support.

IIRC, there is only one unpardonable sin. Now excommunication is actually for the benefit of the sinner, but that may be far afield and actually gets to RCP90's critique that the cardinal archbishopric in some cases is a politician in a mitre. say he, or someone else, denies eucharist to X politico, is it for the sinner's benefit (true essence of excommunication) or to make a political point? looks like lose/lose.

I wouldn't wholesale cosign on this. I think some interesting work comes from Assemblies of God/Calvary Chapel crowd. It will never displace The Catholic Church or the other mainline denominations, but it's an excellent vehicle to bring in those out of the loop since it's actually quite logical. |

Meanwhile over on the Protestant side how many sects are we up to now as a result of the constant splintering? Five thousand?

|
Date: April 5th, 2015 9:02 PM Author: Curious hairless degenerate This is mostly just because Episcopalians still have priests and a Catholic-style liturgy, so in some extraordinary circumstances a priest has been allowed to convert and immediately become a Catholic priest (even if they're married).

Date: April 5th, 2015 9:22 PM Author: Curious hairless degenerate Historically Catholicism has had heavy disdain for all Protestant sects, and there has been particular dislike for evangelical/Pentecostal stuff because, well, it's all pretty silly.
These days, for a lot of Catholic die-hards it's reversing a bit, with Catholics having more respect for evangelicals because they're allied on a bunch of sociopolitical stuff. I think short-term goals of this sort are being allowed to gloss over the very strong differences between the two. I think this may be having a bit of a bad effect, because 1. Some Catholic churches are becoming more and more like evangelical ones (Guitars! Pop songs! TV screens! Shitty homilies!), and 2. A lot of Catholics are finding evangelical stuff attractive and flat-out defecting. That would be happening no matter what, but I think it happens more because Catholicism isn't working hard enough to distinguish itself and emphasize why it is correct and evangelical Protestantism is fraud&lies.
In the long run, this could also really burn them because evangelicals are going to sell out on a bunch of different issues (almost all of them will back gay marriage in 20 years, I bet) and then the divorce will be messy. |

Date: April 5th, 2015 9:53 PM Author: Cream sinister faggotry Broette actually. I decided I couldn't maintain a belief in God and be an otherwise rational person. Happened when I was about 16.
Until then I was a pretty ardent Catholic - Catholic grade school, Catholic high school, church camps, Catholic youth groups the whole lot. But once I lost faith in God's existence that was it. I was pretty sad about it at the time because I really enjoyed being Catholic but I just couldn't keep doing it.
However if I ever somehow decided I did believe again in God I'm almost sure I'd go back to being a Catholic. I can't imagine joining another religion.

|
Date: April 5th, 2015 9:56 PM Author: Curious hairless degenerate Nothing irrational about believing in God, Broette. It probably does take a leap of faith of some kind to buy into the whole kit and kaboodle for Catholicism (or any other religion), but I think you can at least get to Deism while being perfectly reasonable.
Sadly I'm not the best person for making this argument because I've always had friends who were better at it. |

Date: April 6th, 2015 2:08 AM Author: Cream sinister faggotry I know. You can be a Catholic like my parents were which was to take on faith the parts that are most logically unlikely and never examine them too closely, ignore the teachings they didn't like (e.g. on contraception) and just be good cultural Catholics who go to Mass every Sunday and bring up the kids in the faith.
Perhaps because I did take it seriously and buy into the whole thing when I stopped believing my falling out was a bit more drastic and I became quite militantly atheist. I couldn't now just go through the motions just because it might benefit the kids. They can make up their own minds about religion when they are old enough. |

Date: April 6th, 2015 1:09 AM Author: razzle potus resort not sure you get some basic distinctions between catholics and protestants, which is fine, as theyre not obvious. the elaborate golden displays and complex involved architecture are built because the church is the house of god. unlike in protestantism, where god is everywhere, catholics have a place where gods presence is: the church. its built to show devotion to god, its built to bring catholics closer to him. its built because you need a place for god and the communion of saints and the liturgy and the sacraments. as for some of the artwork inside, people were illiterate back in the day, need to get the message across somehow.
