Post like this is why I was against featuring the thread. I welcome debate, but retards looking to take shits on the floor of a featured thread are a blight.
Yeah because you not featuring it was going to keep people from discussing the new pope negatively, dumbass :story:

Ill take my thread ban now, nigger.
 
I was going to insult you but instead I want you to know that if no one else loves you, God does. Despite your idiocy.
Insults are all you have. There's no way to defend Roman Catholicism unless you're already in the crab-trap.

opening a dialogue with the Orthodox Patriarchates in mending the schism (this almost happened in the 2010s).
They could start by recognizing that Papal Infallibility is obviously not true, considering that Honorius was anathematized by an Ecumenical Council for Monothelitism. They could also explain how Pope Leo III erecting the Nicene Creed without the filioque on silver tablets outside the crypt of St. Peter's Basilica with the inscription "For love and defense of the Orthodox Faith" wasn't "Ex Cathedra".

They could also admit that Vatican 1 was an obvious political response to the political changes and revolutions of the 19th century (consolidating what power they still had), just as Vatican II coincided with the Vatican's realignment with Western powers after WWII (which is why post Vatican II Catholicism is just a giant NGO crab-walking into oblivion).

He has some really bad scandals in his closet. Really interesting to see the group not give much of a fuck about that, or maybe they were unaware during the sequestration.
If you're aware, they were aware.

If you welcome debate, then you can respond to this post and the few I've linked to regarding Nostra Aetate.
 
This is the first thing I've seen that has made me actually concerned, but again need to wait and see

Good. Vance is a weirdo and an awful Catholic.

Not hyped that it's an American Pope, especially in times like these.
Still, Leo 14 seems like a genuinely nice dude, very humble and mild manered, not at all like the common American boor. Maybe that's what America needs right now the most. A global example of humility and patience.
 
Hey, as a consummate professional thread tourist I have been doing my best to think about what I post and share only important information and discussion here. #NotAllTourists
Look, we’ve all been there. I sometimes go to feature threads and toss shit around and gather up my well-earned dumb and MATI stickers.

It’s one thing if you show up and outline your issues with Leo XIV, but it’s another thing to start throwing shit at Catholics at large and insisting we enlist in your personal culture war army. I mean, look at this:
There's no way to defend Roman Catholicism unless you're already in the crab-trap.
California Newt is not interested in a discussion. He wants to shit on the floor and piss people off. We’ve had this episode play out in the thread before and it never is productive.
 
Doubt. He was a darkhorse. I don't think all the Cardinals knew the full history of all brothers.
Exactly how dumb are you accusing the Cardinals of being if you're saying they don't do any kind of background check whatsoever? I'm not trying to be hostile there; it just seems really unbelievable that that'd be the case.

No it's not. I choose not to believe the Protestant propaganda.
lmao

Edit: didn't meant to double-post; assumed the thread was faster
 
Bruh. They don't have the ability to do research while inside. I do not think a hundred old men knew the deep history of every single person, most likely just the leading figures.
If it's realistically possible that the guy's name could be thrown around for consideration to the point that he gets elected Pope without people knowing about this, then that's pretty wild. Heck of a system.

Sorry he doesn't let more Catholics into the U.S. Pedro.
Still, Leo 14 seems like a genuinely nice dude, very humble and mild manered, not at all like the common American boor. Maybe that's what America needs right now the most. A global example of humility and patience.
I am humbly and patiently waiting for this pope to also die from Hitler-particle exposure al la America's next Presidente

Remember Vance hasn’t even baptized his own children to keep his Pagan wife happy
 
It's been over for something like 70 years (in reality a lot longer, but about 70 from the tradcath perspective).

Conservative Catholics absolutely will not allow themselves to see the forest for the trees. They'll tie themselves into knots to justify how Pope Climate-Sins Pachamama-Gay-Blessing-But-Not-Actually-Gay-Blessing-Don't-Worry-Guys XVCMLIIIII technically didn't violate canon 14,926,602,745,592 (which you'd need to prove in a court of law to show that he's a public apostate) by gassing up Buddhists as having "precious spiritual treasures".

They just care that he's not "woke" in a Prager U sense, but if he is don't worry because it's not Ex Cathedra (as though infallibility and defection were the same question).

It's the Qanon religion, and I say this as someone who really likes a lot of Catholics.
At least its not Anglican. That's fucking satanic at this point.
 
The Pope is a a registered Republican

Prepare for the Great Sneeding
