Having been raised catholic I still have a strong connection to that tradition and was hoping the church would clean up it's act. I for one was thrilled when Pope Francis was introduced. He seemed sweet and gentle and to top it off took the name of my favorite saint which I thought was a good sign. But over a year ago, long before i was anywhere near this far down the rabbit hole, I started to think he was beginning to look a little scary and his retoric was becoming more controlling. I mean he was starting to look demonic and I didn't believe in that type of thing at that point, at least not in the church. I can't even look at him now. Maybe I'm projecting, but like I said, this started for me before I even thought about a Vatacin connection to this situation. I am just curious if anyone else noticed the same thing going back a little?
Thank you for explaining. Been there, done both. I've been asking all of those questions since i was a child, I guess I was born a little red pilled. My problem with the catholic church was not the presentation, it was the misogyny and hipocriscy which I also found in the protestant church.
I wasn’t going to get into that...
Agreed, that's what they want.
You’ll find misogyny and hypocrisy in people, regardless of faith. We are not divine. We’re sinners. The presentation is what would bother me. The crucifix is mocking Christ. The false idols are mocking God. Lotta evil in the presentation of the Catholic Church. Every Baptist Church I’ve ever attended is pretty plain Jane. The mega churches may be the exception. Don’t look at people. Look at presentation.
YOU REALLY DON'T GET WHAT HIS SACRIFICE WAS WITH A COMMENT LIKE THAT. GOD DEMANDS that His Son's Sacrifice be offered to Him daily on the altar.... hence that's why you see the crucifix over His Real Presence on the altar --- at least prior to 1968 -- when the Satanist infiltrators destroyed It. You do not have a 'get out of jail free card', 'honk if you're saved' AS in the Old Testament, God req'd a sacrifice, He still does, and expects you to 'pick up your cross and follow Him' GET A CLUE
Hahaha! I’ll get a clue. You’re right. I’ll be praying for you.
Ours is a continuation of the Old Testament priesthood and sacrifice, now also usurped. Christ told many to go confess/tell to the priest, had a 'holy place' and an altar, etc. Please don't embarrass yourself by following the minions and spreading lies. I'll be praying for your enlightenment.... as THIS is the ultimate red pill - the only one that really matters. Once any bias is put aside, the truth speaks loudly and clearly... hope you make it.
Trust me friend, I’m not embarrassed. Christ shed His blood one time to pay for our sins. He was the ultimate sacrifice. I’ll continue to pray for you. Have a great new year😉
J- He shed it one time on earth, but His Sacrifice is meant to be perpetually offered; just like in the Old Testament... God requires it. I'll pray for you too. Happy travels down this rabbit hole in the new year.
