>From the OP pastebin Tales of Love and Virtue
This is an ever-growing list of videos and stories that touching, sweet, and relevant to Catholic Generals as they are all triumphs of love and/or the human experience. While many would refer to some of these videos as "sad", we cannot forget that these tales are all about love in the face of struggle and the victory despite of it. Feel free to recommend additions to the list on Catholic or Christian Generals.
The church carries with it the greatest of human stories in its 2000-year-old history: The story of the saints, the champions and role models of the Christian faith. This first section will be on them and the second will be other links.
>“Although almost nothing can surprise us anymore, I have to say that this time the blasphemy has exceeded all limits. A blasphemy with all the unmistakable signs of the diabolical: with his malice, his perversity, and above all with his hatred of Mary.”
>“In the horrible image you created, there is blood. Blood of the Mother, but also of the Son. Blood spills at the moment of death, but it is also a symbol of life. That blood you represented with contempt is your hope, our hope. For where sin abounded, grace abounded. Because that Blood cries more strongly than Abel’s. Because Jesus shed it for your sins and mine.”

St. Patrick did not look like an Irishman as he is commonly portrayed. He was from the southern part of Britain and referred to as a Romanized Briton.
He didn't have pale skin.
He didn't have blue eyes.
He wasn't Irish.
The name Patrick is derived from Patricius, Patricio, or Patrizio which the Irish stole.
The Irish are cancer and spread degeneracy in the name of a good man.
Sebastian Russell
St. Patrick was Roman, nigga

This is an ever-growing list of videos, stories, and images of all creation, life, and the world. Enjoy them as they are, despite the small list we're starting with. Feel free to recommend additions to the list on Catholic or Christian Generals.
might as well be making a SATANIST GENERAL you cuck
Michael Nelson
Zeitgeist bullshit again? It's like its 2007.
Dylan Stewart
The Eye represents the Father in the Trinity you autist and historically has so until the Freemasons stole it.
Ryan Hughes
Have you ever considered that freemasons were the only ones capable of create such great structures at the time?
Justin Sanchez
The Church is constantly criticized for opposing the Freemasons, what kind of logic led you to make that picture?
Lucas Flores
How's Lent going guys?
I finally stopped justifying pre-marital sex to myself and gave it up for Lent; my gf wasn't happy about that but she accepted it. This state of affairs is not 100% satisfactory; I would prefer to resolve it by marriage but I don't have any money because I'm in school.
I am also gonna eat meat today even though my Diocese didn't give a dispensation because my grandmother would have her feelings hurt if I didn't eat her corned beef and cabbage. I will abstain from alcohol next week in penance.
Am I doing ok guys? I just don't know.
Nathaniel Gomez
Also if the Catholic Church is controlled by Freemasons then why do they oppose it and historically killed Freemasons in the Past? Must be a cover up and that pentagram isn't supports for the glass since Triangles are the best for architecture NOPE IT'S SATAN
Protestantism.jpeg even though most Protestant Leaders were Freemasons
Jonathan Kelly
That's good man and tell your grandma that you can't eat Meat for Religious reasons
Ayden Davis
Yeah, really. I tend to believe disagreements stem from varying amounts of foolishness but at this point I can't even feel anger towards the "protesters". Just sadness for them and disgust.
Parker Stewart
wow look at all these rationalizations
Andrew Walker
How about you read early church history and the symbolism in it you autist instead of watching the Zietgiest Documentary and claiming you know the truth.
Elijah Adams

Juan Martin
Good job, man. Abstinence with your girlfriend is a great start. Is she also Catholic?
I'll give you credit for effort, but your argument contains fallacies. Like I said, the Church (including the highest hierarchy of bishops/cardinals) are constantly scrutinized by the secular society for opposing the Freemasons. Suggesting that the hierarchy of the Church is in any way related to those organizations is silly.
Benjamin Butler
The Irish are only good at drinking, writing sad shit and blaming everything on England
Kayden Wilson
>Suggesting that the hierarchy of the Church is in any way related to those organizations is silly.
ok bud
Camden Russell
Good on you, man. I'm doing hard manual labor as my new work so I can't effectively do fasting without being a health threat to myself. Because of this I've doubled down on austerities and building up my prayer life. It's been rough for me as gluttony generally (in various different senses) is a cardinal sin I struggle with but I'm working through it. I would recommend doing first, as your grandmother may respect that moreso.
Overall, you're doing good man. A lot of people would have a hard time just having that conversation with your girlfriend. Excellent job being strong.
Brayden Phillips
kek so are you a sedevacantist and Church Layout didn't Change that much because your comparing a Bishop's Ceremony to a regular mass which is comparing Apples and Oranges in Layout.

What should I do if I want to enter the seminary, but I'm the only son my parents have (also have 2 sisters)?
William Ramirez
We slow
Juan Garcia
You discuss the option with them to work out an answer.
Daniel Howard
Thanks guys. I have realized it was all too easy to Catholicpost and then justify everything I wanted to do to myself and ignore the rules. I also realized how hard following Christ's commandments really is; just stick your toe into it and it starts to negatively effect your relationships with people you care about, that's how deep sin has sunk into me and my life.
But at the same time, as soon as I "leveled up" in terms of penitence, a whole new wave of opportunities in my life just fell into my lap. It's as if God is just waiting to send you new responsibilities and opportunities just as soon as you are ready for them and no sooner.
Thomas Perry
They will support the decision, but I still feel bad about it. The family name dies with me and all that.
What would you do?
God bless.
Angel Lopez
>muh Zeigeist
None of these pictures are from Zeitgeist. None of these videos are from Zeigeist.
>Suggesting that the hierarchy of the Church is in any way related to those organizations is silly. >shown a picture proving Freemasonic influence >well this ceremony is for hierarchy of the Church which is comparing Apples and Oranges
wow just wow how far will the denial go
Michael Price
I mean, you could marry first and then enter seminary in the eastern rite, though you'd be barred from any chance to be a bishop while married.
If not this middle ground, I would have to ask which is more important: The family name or your calling.
And recommend you discern the position further, of course.
Landon Robinson
Zeitgeist is zeitgeist by any other name, it is just as jewish
Dylan Cooper
Wake up to the truth of the Bible and work for the kingdom, brothers
>begin watching first video >baseless claims >tour video begins of a church >trying to state innate meaning to symbols rather than trying to see how those people understand it >especially when the meaning varies heavily through history >this same sort of shit continues
>see second video >immediately start claiming that they are not worshipping Jesus but some doing sun worship and linking to Ishtar, which is literally what Zeitgeist does >ignoring the cross on the obelisk altogether >just hate on the obelisk itself >Christmas tree called cabalistic in nature
This is outright ridiculous and argues nothing.
Jace Jones
>i'm in denial about being a thrall to an obvious Mystery Religion pretending to be Christianity, but luckily i have my Jew memes to keep me safe
Probably one of the dumber things I've read in a long time. The Romanized Britons were the people who would go on to become the Welsh. There was very little breeding between the Roman occupiers (who were long gone anyway) and the native population. And the the Romans at thay time would have looked more Germanic anyway.
I'm sorry your father was disappointed in you, but that doesn't give you the right to corrupt history.
Landon Morales
Where is Ash Wendsday and/or Lent mentioned in the New Testamnet?
>Go ahead and argue this.
It's not in the Bible and some made up pagan bullshit?
You can't, because it is the True Word of God written in the Bible, which you LITERALLY go against.
Tyler Parker

Nolan Gutierrez
Hello everyone Oh shid glowstyks :DDD
Xavier Morgan
The Romanized Britons were just Britons who adopted Roman culture. He was as Roman as you virgin faggots are Japanese.
Luis Powell
>current year >still praising a Jew
Nathan Lopez
Roman was like "American", it wasn't a blood-ethnic designation. This is how 100% pure blooded Greeks, Slavs and Armenians maintained the legitimate Roman polity and called themselves Rhomaioi for 1000 years after the fall of Rome to Odoacer.
Don't be gay and pedantish.
Nolan Price
FUCK YOU DEMIURGE
Nicholas Young
>Where is Ash Wendsday and/or Lent mentioned in the New Testamnet?
The church practice is not mentioned in the Bible. As I link to you in however, it is a commemoration and preparation for the celebration of Easter (an event in the bible) that gives glory to God and whose practices extent from the Bible:
>40 days, fasting, austerities Mimicking of Jesus 40 days in the desert in preparation for his ministry.
>Ashes The biblical symbols of repentance, sackcloth and ashes.
And it should be obvious to you but not being in the Bible does not mean being against the Bible. Laypeople reading scripture isn't in the Bible. Having Bibles in your homes isn't in the Bible. The biblical canon isn't in the Bible.
>refute this video
No. Make your own arguments or just bring what arguments they have to us directly. We're not making your arguments for you.
Reminder that Head-CHEST-shoulder-shoulder is making the sign wrong. Only cross on stomach.
Evan Reyes
>not being in the Bible does not mean being against the Bible.
that's exactly what it means
We are purified - cleansed, set apart and made pure in Lord’s sight - by the shed blood of Jesus the Messiah (Hebrews 9:11-14, 22; 13:12). This, along with faith (Acts 15:9) and humbly submitting to and obeying God (James 4:7-10) through His truth and prayer (John 17:17; I Timothy 4:5), makes us clean before God. No amount of fasting, abstaining from physical pleasures or any other form of self-denial can purify us!
So i'll say just we're all clear on this: NONE OF THAT IS IN THE BIBLE, NONE OF THAT IS THE WORD OF GOD
Lent was never observed by the Messiah or his apostles.
>Laypeople reading scripture isn't in the Bible. Having Bibles in your homes isn't in the Bible. The biblical canon isn't in the Bible.
nice false equivocation
the denial of Occult Pagan Mystery Religion Thralls knows no end
i bet you have some perfectly "rational" explanation for why your leader's audience hall is shaped to be a literal reptile's head
Ayden Ortiz
Good times, man.
Andrew Price
>tfw one of the forgotten few who held the line in Christian General after Moot opened the gates
It was only us and britpol that day. What a glorious day to poast.

An inverted cross is the sign of Saint Peter. There is no cross-based satanic symbol. The closest yo could get is an inverted crucifix, and that's only BECAUSE of the fact that an inverted cross is a sign of Saint Peter.
Jaxson Adams
Please elaborate, user
Adam Robinson
The upside down cross is historically known as the Cross of St. Peter. Only recently in history, when the Cross of St. Peter was forgotten by Protestants and Protestants seemed interested in picturing Catholics as Satanic was it then considered a Satanic symbol.
I see you've stopped arguing the point about Lent now.
>that's exactly what it means
Defend it then. Don't just say the equivalent of "nuh uh". Here are two examples for you:
>celebrating the death/birth/resurrection of Jesus on the day of it is not in the Bible >laypeople having Bibles in their homes or Bibles they own is not in the Bible
Go ahead.
>So i'll say just we're all clear on this: NONE OF THAT IS IN THE BIBLE, NONE OF THAT IS THE WORD OF GOD
Well no shit. Lent is not doctrine (the word) but an expression of it. It is an expression of reverence that is due to God. This is what Christian holidays come about as.
>We are purified - cleansed, set apart and made pure in Lord’s sight - by the shed blood of Jesus the Messiah (Hebrews 9:11-14, 22; 13:12). This, along with faith (Acts 15:9) and humbly submitting to and obeying God (James 4:7-10) through His truth and prayer (John 17:17; I Timothy 4:5), makes us clean before God. No amount of fasting, abstaining from physical pleasures or any other form of self-denial can purify us!
Well no shit. No one is saying differently.
>Nice false equivocation. The denial of Occult Pagan Mystery Religion Thralls knows no end.
Don't just scoff at evidence of you being wrong. It is fundamentally against your position so you need to do better than reject it because you find it ridiculous.
Cameron Smith
I did not know, thank you.
Joseph Gutierrez
Fun times.
Brandon Bell
You need to read up thread. There was a poster claiming that Paddy was swarthy becuase he was sperging out on the Roman bit.
Asher Peterson
>No amount of fasting, abstaining from physical pleasures or any other form of self-denial can purify us! We don't do the bare minimum to get by. God deserves more.
Eli Howard
Moot attaq'd Sup Forums just before he abandoned Sup Forums, put a stop to all moderation on Sup Forums and invited Sup Forums to flood the board with shit. After a short time, only brit/pol/ and Christian general were the only non-troll threads on the entire catalog, we kept posting for like 2 days or something, keeping the threads going and defending them against the shitposters.
Eventually we were overwhelmed and retreated to brit/pol/ where the Christians and brits held out together, Zulu-style, until the storm passed.

Colton Martin
>celebrating the death/birth/resurrection of Jesus on the day of it is not in the Bible
Yes, that's why your Mystery Religion attached bullshit pagan dates to it. None of those Pagan holidays are required to be Born Again and Saved.
>laypeople having Bibles in their homes or Bibles they own is not in the Bible
i don't even undertsand the point made here, everyone is saved through Faith alone owning the Bible is irrelevant, but nice try at splitting hairs about your Mystery Religion false doctrines you pretend are Christian. Calling anyone "laypeople" already betrays the attitude of your disgusting Pagan cult.
Well no shit. No one is saying differently.
You Church literally does with its Pagan "holidays", fastings and false doctrines
Is there any authoritative source for how Christians are supposed to make the sign?
Dominic Powell
>my face when I didn't know any of this shit was going down because I was too busy responding the Sup Forums looked otherwise normal
Andrew Young
Thank you and them for safeguarding the Sup Forums we have and love today. I had no idea Moot hated us so much.
Sebastian Ortiz
>Yes, that's why your Mystery Religion attached bullshit pagan dates to it. None of those Pagan holidays are required to be Born Again and Saved.
I never said they are required. I'm saying that by your logic, celebrating holidays based on the death/birth/resurrection of Christ is against the Bible. I'm asking you to defend this.
>i don't even undertsand the point made here, everyone is saved through Faith alone owning the Bible is irrelevant, but nice try at splitting hairs about your Mystery Religion false doctrines you pretend are Christian.
Salvation is not the topic here. I'm saying that by your logic, celebrating holidays based on the death/birth/resurrection of Christ is against the Bible. I'm asking you to defend this.
>Calling anyone "laypeople" already betrays the attitude of your disgusting Pagan cult.
No, Christ set up this distinction when he set apart some people as apostles compared to others.
>linking to the video again Make the arguments yourself and don't ask me to make them for you.

catholicism cucked the west by taking the smartest males out of the gene pool and turned them towards degeneracy. Historically speaking, with several exceptions. But, in general, you know this is true.
Brayden Allen
>Yes, that's why your Mystery Religion attached bullshit pagan dates to it. It turns out that when your religion is illegal and you ceebrate your holidays on thhe same days as the dominant religion's holidays, it's much harder to be noticed.
>everyone is saved through Faith alone Faith without works is dead. The only reason to argue for faith alone is to excuse a lack of works, which indicates dead faith.
Eli King
I copy/pasted and made a mistake. The second line ending with "I'm asking you to defend this" is meant to explain your logic saying that owning a bible in your home as a layperson is against the Bible, not just repeating the holiday line. My apology.
Jason Torres
>I'm sorry your father was disappointed in you What does that have to do with anything?
Isaac Lee
>It turns out that when your religion is illegal and you ceebrate your holidays on thhe same days as the dominant religion's holidays, it's much harder to be noticed.
That's some neat rationalization for some Pagan occult ritualism that's not in the Bible bud
>Faith without works is dead.
Too bad that's not what the Bible says
>For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
The only reason to argue for faith alone is because it is Word of God

We are the West user. Everything that was great about West is ethier from us or made even greater by us. We are the West. But you wanted to have it. So we gave it to you and you fucked it beyond our wildest dreames. And now you are blame us. We are the West. And if the first West fall, we will make another one, greater than the first. We will make it for si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos?
