      We’re all sinners, what’s your point? You can be a mass-murderer, but as long as you accept Jesus he’ll welcome you to His kingdom in open arms. That’s the beauty of Christ.

      • This would explain all the pedophilia in your church. Do whatever vile shit you want, just accept Jesus and you’re good to go. Very well thought out system.

          • VERY exaggerated

            Actually as long as pedophilia is kept to acceptable levels its completely fine. (Also no its not exaggerated lol) fuck the Catholic church. It’s literally impossible to discriminate against the most Demonic institution to ever exist (honorable mentions to the US and Bri’ish of course).

              Do you have any evidence Catholic Priests are more likely to be pedophiles than the general population? You seem to love sensationalist, anti-Catholic (and dare I say Christianophobic in general) propaganda.

                  approximately 4% have faced these allegations

                  Key word: “allegations”

                  4% isn’t even bad for people in a position of power. That’s probably normal considering around ~5% of the population has pedophilic urges. And there is no “cover up,” the Church takes abuse very seriously.

                  If you are disparaging my religion I am in fact a victim of hate.

                    Extremely suspicious copium.

                    Your turn to source

                    And there is no “cover up,” the Church takes abuse very seriously.

                    https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230306-pope-john-paul-ii-covered-up-child-abuse-as-cardinal

                    Literally done by a cardinal/pope. And that’s just one example out of many. You can look up more as I’m not providing hundreds of sources.

                    If you are disparaging my religion I am in fact a victim of hate.

                    My friend, you can’t be a victim of having your bad ideas challenged and mocked. No one is born a catholic, it’s not an inalienable part of you. There is no bigotry to be found in disparaging beliefs. But when Catholics disparage minorities, THAT is hate.

          So you call yourself a communist but suddenly don’t believe in rehabilitative justice? Why would you question the system God came up with? Weirdo.

              Questioning economic/political systems is very different from questioning the system of The divine ruler/higher power of the universe, who knows infinitely more than you or I ever will. But keep being a heathen I guess.

              • But keep being a heathen I guess.

                That is the plan. And the plan of literally everyone on the planet who doesn’t share your religion. It’s incredibly chauvinistic of you to assume your religion is correct by default BTW.

                questioning the system of The divine ruler/higher power of the universe, who knows infinitely more than you or I ever will.

                I’ll tell you what, prove to me that your god knows anything, anything at all (and therefore exists), and I’ll never say another bad word about catholics again. Hell I’ll become a catholic immediately. What do you say? Should be easy enough to prove “god” knows more than us. You were so sure after all.

                  Buddy I respect Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, whatever, AS LONG AS YOU’RE NOT AN ATHEIST I won’t think you’re crazy

                  Every portrait has a painter. How blatantly narcissistic of you to believe the stars in the sky and the toes on your feet just exist because they exist. Do you think the universe and the supposed “big bang” just came from nothing? EVERY PORTRAIT HAS A PAINTER. Let that sink in. And Christianity is the only religion with evidence btw.

                  • How blatantly narcissistic of you to believe the stars in the sky and the toes on your feet just exist because they exist.

                    You have it inverted. If the universe exists without regard to me, that’s the opposite of narcissism. Wheras if you believe the universe exists because an all powerful paternal figure really loves you and all your buddies specifically, with a perfect grand plan for you. What is that but the height of narcissism?

                    EVERY PORTRAIT HAS A PAINTER.

                    A meaningless platitude and a humanocentric view of the universe. AKA more narcissism.

                    And Christianity is the only religion with evidence btw.

                    Provide literally any then.
