It’s still fun tho! Like check this unironic totally-not-heretical-not-at-all-schism about “chad catholics”
Elsewhere the user is appealing to civil law lmao The pope is the supreme ruler of your religion you dolt, just stay evangelical if you don’t like it.
Oh damn, our boy got community noted
No don’t do it Hank, don’t ask a yes/no question with an objective rather than a subjective answer. Don’t do it hank you’re gonna make yourself into the soyjak, they’re gonna reply with a yes and be a chad, don’t do it hank noooo 
Best community note so far
the pope is a dictator who has the authority to exercise unlimited power
Literally the entire point of Catholicism, there was like a big schism about it and everything. Should have become Orthodox instead if you’re gonna whine about that.
also holy shit this has got to be one of the funniest community notes of all time:
nooo I only joined for the esoteric rites you can’t just do the rest of Catholicism!!nooo I only joined for the esoteric rites
Just be orthodox then lmao. Doesn’t that faith have like five popes or something? The iconography kicks ass anyway.
Bones everywhere - Christianity with necromancer aesthetics
I’m Ethiopian Orthodox and can confirm. The best iconography, although there is more fasting during holidays than even Islam and can’t eat pork.
Or OTO, if you just like the ceremony and not the religion, lol.
40k made it all look based
Lol no fucking way there was a bishop strickland from texas.
“I sell indulgences and indulgence accessories.”
With clean burning propane, a new pope will be announced with nothing more than the smell of fresh Texas beef.
This is what happens when your understanding of history comes from Pepe memes and two and a half hour YouTube videos of guys whose highest level of history was senior year of high school talking about what caused the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It’s all about inventing a tradition to make American culture and politics the direct inheritor of ye olde tyme European Christendom, but then ignores the few dozen schisms and revolutions that were all about getting out from under that.
Simon de Montfort would have murdered every trad cath shithead on the internet for heresy
sorry can’t hear him over his body getting turned to jelly by the women of Tolosa’s trebuchet
I used to be quite churchy, and then when I wasn’t and became quite lefty, I honestly felt right at home because both the church and the left splinters into ever expanding subgroups that splinter into even more subgroups at the drop of a hat. It’s a weird parallel but it’s definitely there
Gonna start arguing that Jesus was the first socialist, not because of what he believed, but because of all the schisms he’s been the cause of.
Jesus was a trot, confirmed?! 😳😳😳
⛏️
The most believable argument yet
Every now and then I see someone act like infighting and schisms are largely a left politics phenomenon. Oh boy is that ahistorical
These dorks are still mad that the vatican decided that blaming jewish people for literally everything was a bit much
Honestly calling the pope an authoritarian dictator of the Vatican city-state would be a good bit
I’ve heard him described as the perfect Anarcho-Capitalist. He’s a supreme dictator of a micro-state whose population is exclusively him.
He’s a supreme dictator of a micro-state whose population is exclusively him.
Well, him and a bunch of Pedos so… Yeah, perfect ancap utopia.
Your religion is literally that the guy speaks directly with and acts on behalf of the supreme and omnipotent creator of the universe.
“I am a very proud and devout monarchist but it’s like, the King’s ministers keep doing shit I don’t like! Where’s the due process?!”
I think the “due process” is an artifact of the American (broad L) liberal political tradition they were brought up in.They have yet to jettison it while they move to this Catholic reactionary tradition that rejects all liberal thought post 1789.
Poster-Christian theology is so godawful that twenty years of exposure to their shit has permanently alienated me from religion. Just, like, in general.
Fundies say the darndest things. In fact, they never shut the fuck up.
As much shit as there is to be said about the Vatican, the title of Pope at least has qualifications and expectations and that makes him a breath of fresh air next to trad types
Fundies are wild as fuck
Bring back calling the Pope “the Bishop of Rome”
Dude, apparently the most recent trigger for the removal of the bishop was because he was fucking with finances. Can you even fucking imagine an embezzling bishop genuinely thinking he’s holier than the Jesuit Pope who wears an iron cross and named himself after Francis of Assisi? The Pope who has the closest claim to a nomination by God as intended by the church in any recent history? Fuck off!
If Strickland’s biggest crime was embezzlement, the answer is hell yes.
Oh, no, he’s guilty of all the usual stuff too, dude’s a bishop, c’mon.
Sorry that I forgot to condemn the Catholic church with my statement
Fair, sorry for misreading your intent.
prods unknowingly pretending to be catholic will never stop being funny to me
Lmao, fucking dolt, the church recognizes the Pope as the living embodiment of God’s word and authority on earth.
Redoing the Avignon Papacy but this time just for chads
