We're losing ground in Latin America to the Protestants and Pentecostals. How do we rectify this?
Sebastian Young
Feels pretty good. Thank's Jesus for yet another opportunity to obtain your Mercy

Extreme traditionalism. Traditionalist churches are growing fast in France.
David Butler
it is science God likes when we learn new stuff about how he have built the world, but we must remember that only God can create something out of nothing, we have to draw the line somewhere. But editing human genom to fix some sicknesses before they happen is good, but in my opinion, changing genes so your kid will have different hair colour is just vanity.
invite more Polish priests

it would look better if you actually got repeating numbers

Serious question as a non-Catholic, how does it feel to have the Holy See occupied by someone who probably isn't Catholic or even Christian and lets Muslims pray within the Vatican? I want to respect Catholicism because at least it isn't pr*testantism or *nglicanism but the Pope disgusts me too much.
Sebastian Robinson
He's there for a divine reason. Traditionalism actually is being debated now and in open convos among Catholics, something that hasn't been done since pre-Vat 2. I gurantee that the next pope (possibly in 3-4 years) will be more traditional

The Pope "probably isn't Catholic"?
That seems a bit dire.
It seems like every day, the non-Catholics perception of Pope Francis is getting even more warped and more fantastical.
I can guarantee you, most of the things you think you know about the Pope are demonstrably false.
Like, the "muslim prayer in the Vatican" thing has been completely overblown. The context was that an Islamic statesman was meeting with an Israeli statesman in the Vatican, and the Islamic statesman was allowed to utter a prayer before the meeting. Though, through a game of telephone, most people seem to believe that the Pope himself bowed down and worshipped Muhammad.
The media is partly to blame for this. Of course they want to portray everyone as a "radical" and everything is changing and everything is being upheaved. Even if they have to bend the truth.
And the constant anti-Catholic spamming on Sup Forums isn't helping. It is just getting more and more ridiculous everyday.
The truth is, Pope Francis isn't a radical turning everything upside down. There are Catholics who are critical of him, but it is actually for the opposite reasons. They say he is too safe, and unwilling to take a hardline stance on things. They accuse him of not being traditional and in your face enough.
So there you go.
John Peterson
is this true? any articles or sources on this?
Parker Wilson
Go watch the actual masses and his homilies.
Imo he'a too off the cuff and not enough stern leadership, but its for a reason.
Carson Howard
I read the bible daily, consider myself Catholic, and try to live my life by the teachings of the church. I attended a Catholic school for 8 years. However, I have since moved away from my home state or IL to NC, where most people are Baptist. There is one Catholic church near me, but it doesn't feel right for some reason. Like pseudo-Catholic, if that makes any kind of sense. I would love to attend mass and take part in communion, but there isn't any churches around me other than the one. Should I just suck it up and go, or stick to my daily routine of reading, prayer, and generally not trying to be a complete douche of a person?
Anthony Rogers
Any interest
Christopher Sanchez
Sounds like its tine to move.
You would be a lot happier living in a parish you feel a part of.
Kayden Parker
Just go, it is your obligation as a Catholic. Although, by your wording it seems like you may not have been confirmed so I would urge you to make that happen there as well.
