More cultural diversity incoming riding a very lucrative grift, now open to a more pernicious pool of gangsters drawn from the third world.
Look, I'm not approving of what this anti-pope did or does, but fact of the matter is that the only faithful Catholics today are non-Europeans.
If Fwancis is called by Satan any time soon, then the best replacement is Cardinal Robert Sarah, who stands strong against Islamic hordes and against the grooming in the West.
Spoken like a true atheist. South America is by far the worst of the lot. Their doctrine has been infected with Marxism for decades, hence Bergoglio himself, and most of the rest of the faith widely considers them heretics.
It's from the European orders and dioceses that the most resistance to Bergoglio's bullshit has come. Which is precisely why he's been attacking them for years.
As an Atheist, you're right, I've actually been trying to elaborate that South America is the future of both Catholicism and Social Justice under the name:
"Liberation Theology"
It's, frankly, the most accurate description of the cultural impact of the Social Justice Racket on Western Culture.
Look to him being excommunicated or demoted soon, then.
Non-European Catholics are what gave us Francis.
What about the Catholics in Central and Eastern Europe, like the Poles? I was under the impression that they were more devout, but I'm hardly familiar with the situation.
Yeah, Poles and Hungarians are pretty cool. That said, I think that EU will force corruption into those countries as well, so I'm pessimistic on the medium and longer term.
More non western countries than non Europeans. The Slavs are still cool. The US is a little complicated, as most Catholics are in the Democrats states, and with Biden and Pelosi as their representatives, it is hard to reconcile their voting records and their stated faith.
As someone who has spent some time in Malta (actual Malta, where this Order… Still has a lot of influence), and dated a couple of Maltese chicks - jesus…
This is going to… Cause more strife than I think any of us can imagine, if you’re not familiar with the place…
I’m not too familiar, I’d be interested in hearing you elaborate.
It’s nothing too unusual (and Steampunk might know more than me) - just that the order still owns vast swathes of real estate, and has enormous political capital in Malta, particularly in and around the capital, Valletta…
Essentially Malta was their own personal fiefdom, for the best part of half a millennia (when it wasn’t part of any other kingdom or empire), and you can’t walk down a street in most towns there without stumbling across some evidence of that…
But it’s more than that - Malta is the most devoutly Catholic place in Europe. When I was there, I was told it is more Catholic than Rome. The church owns TV networks, public screens around town showing their sermons, and just… They’re the most influential force on the islands. Much more so than the government, or any other political force. It is… I’ve never been anywhere “developed” where the power of the Church is that immediately apparent.
So yeah, this will… Create waves, to say the least.
Interesting thanks
Go on... I do hope for some pitchforks and riots and not just meek submission.
See above, yo.
I might elaborate further when I think it over some more/maybe ask one of my Maltese friends, but yeah, I’ve outlined it there, essentially…
Steampunk may know more, idk.
As the Grandson of a Maltese catholic, I can tell you this is going to be a big deal in Malta.
You been, dude?
It’s an… Interesting place.
Excellent party scene, though (I was there for a leadership conference, lol) - I would give that aspect… 8.5 out of 10, probably, lol.
But yeah, in Valletta and around (the “three cities” area), you can see the influence of the knights absolutely everywhere…
I stayed in a 500-year-old apartment with a 4-inch thick wooden door, to protect against attacks. In the morning I would walk down past the cathedral that the order built, and go watch the sunrise over a fortress that the order used to protect the harbour.
It was a pretty extraordinary place.
Unfortunately I was so depressed and anxious at the time that I spent an awful lot of time… Just breaking down in my hotel room (during the conference, lol), so I missed out on a lot of what I would have seen and experienced otherwise, but yeah…
I would do things differently now (I hope), but I met some amazing Maltese women, both there and over here (more Maltese in Aus than in Malta, now, after all!), so… That’s a heritage to be “proud” of, I feel.
Good country. Good people. Amazing place to visit.
Yes, you can't move ten yards on the islands without encountering its history of being fought over and repeatedly conquered and reconquered for Christendom or the Ummah (Producing the only Arab language written using Latin characters), all the way through to its most recent successful defense in the second world war.
Dissolving the Knights of Malta feels like deliberately abandoning the islands to Islam for no reason whatsoever.
But dereliction and desecration of the faith is precisely what I expect from this heretic 'pope'.
Pay back reparations to the Mameluks thieves.
#SchismNow
Catholicism can't root out Social Justice from it's institution, because the institution of Catholicism is based in Social Justice authoritarianism. They invented the system itself. American Catholics need to break away entirely from Rome. You won't save anything otherwise.
This is happening in Australia with the Anglican (sort of Episcopalian, but not) church, right now…
Main diocese is determined to keep doing the gay shit, so the cathedrals want to break off and form a schism “Diocese of the Southern Cross”, headed up by the former archbishops who were booted out when they forced them to sign up to the gay marriage “bandwagon”…
Tis an interesting time…
This already happened with the Uniting Church, in essence (which was a merger of various “progressive” baptist, etc, ministries), so… Yeah.
This is the way, it seems.
In the US, we had a famous (at least to anyone in the know) schism between the Northern Baptists and the Southern Baptists.
The Northern Baptists were literally marrying run-away slaves to white people and Indians while calling for the abolition of slavery as an abomination against God.
The Southern Baptists were literally teaching slaves that God ordered slaves to obey their masters, and pushed a narrative that slavery was a civilizing force against paganism.
Hence why "A house divided against itself can not stand."
The ideological difference was simply too steep to bridge, and the factions split permanently, even to this very day, long after slavery had been abolished. The Northern and Southern Baptist sects are now much more similar, but they are still separate.
This is why Orthodox Christianity is best, they noped out of western papacy 1,000 years ago.
I don't even know. It's survived Islam and Communist occupation, but I prefer the individualism within Protestantism.
“Heavy. What is it?”
“The, uh, stuff that dreams are made of.”
