By the way OP has Wolfshiem popped in to any of these threads in the last week? I haven/t seen him on Sup Forums for a while now. Have to give him my annual thanks for helping me convert.

I just use a random Saint generator and find some info about the Saint that comes up :)

You got St. Teresa Margaret Redi!

Planning on monastacism too, friend.
I wish for nothing more than a life of christ

Wolfshiem helped me convert on /lit/ as well although I had been reading the Bible and seriously considering a return to Catholicism prior. I just didn't know anyone to talk to about it and he helped a lot. Great guy. Sadly I think he gets a little too carried away with his interest in Falangism.

falangism is such a weird fascist idealogy

personally codreanu is best fascist figure

I've never actually seen him talk about his political ideology funnily enough seeing how most of the time I've seen him as been on Sup Forums.

Reminder that the Roman Catholic Church is the most anti-white organization on earth today, and all Roman Catholics will be killed on the day of the rope.

additionally it is always a good idea to try to extricate your self from a sinful enviroment over the course of lent and insert yourself into a better one.

Shut up Communist

God bless, brother. I have a feeling that I will have some role with the Church in the future and I pray that the Lord will guide me to my proper place.

Codreanu was a cuckold who got himself and all of his friends killed because he was too much of a christfag to be a proper revolutionary. Because of his cuckoldry, his country was taken over by communists.

Reminder that roman catholic church fell spiritually to the demonic messiah.

catholics arent Christians

As if anyone needed reminding

no.

...

Yes. He could have led a revolution. Instead he chose to trust the king, because muh christfag divine right, and it got him and his friends killed and his county conquered by communists.

This is the same bait that is posted in every Catholic thread.
Please, spare us the surface deep bait and let us have our one thread.

this

ya got any sauce

>Please, spare us the surface deep bait and let us have our one thread.
No. The catholic church is anti-white, so it needs it be stomped out. I will shit on your thread just like I shit on every other leftist thread.

Islam , Catholicism,organized religion ,prosperity churches, all are lying deceivers ,our lord did tell us to beware of false prophets and false teachers ,the bible tells us people will not want to hear sound doctrine but instead will go after lying tongues because it's easier for them than to face the truth , the truth of which that we're all sinners and the only way to God is jesus christ the son of the holy God of israel, billions of people are decieved and so because they want that deception because it's easier for them ,they hate the truth so instead they go after falacies , the bible clearly teaches us that god hates idols and the worship of idols ,the orthodox church and catholic church worship idols and images the carved and they pray in the name of marry and dead saints , when the bible CLEARLY teaches that JESUS is the only savior and only way to heaven ,
Exodus 20:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
these mainstream churches are teaching doctrines of demons , THEY'RE ARE NOT TEACHING REPENTANCE AND SALAVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST ,they say donate money and you'll be saved , donate money and your sins are forgiven ,they're liars and decievers ,specially islam and catholics , our lord Jesus christ clearly said REPENT ,meaning turn away from your wicked ungodly sinful ways , and do the will of God, but people would rather ignore that , they think they can have sex and ungodly lustful adultrous relationships and then go to church every sunday and hear false doctrines that would be eeasy for them to hear because the truth is hard because they love sin , And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Matthew 7:14
REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NIGH .

You'd go for deeper bait
if it were in a choir boy

It's common knowledge.

I'm anti-fascist but still very conservative personally. For some reason a lot of Catholics on this board seem to think you cannot have a Christian yet democratic society. However obviously the Venetian Republic was very Catholic and functioned perfectly fine until that faggot Bonaparte sacked Venice.

He rarely does, but he was talking about how he had plans to start an alt-right Youtube channel about Catholicism and politics. I don't know if he ended up doing that, but I pray he'll learn a bit more about history before he does that. Just because the state of affairs in Christendom is drastic doesn't mean you need to make it a billion times worse with some incredibly flawed ideology such as fascism.

In my opinion Anglo-Saxon common law democracies are an ideal system of government, while a strong, dynamic religion such as Catholicism would be ideal for preserving the rule of law. I don't think we need to reinvent the wheel in terms of government or religion, but we do need to figure out how to get more people into churches, especially people our age. Otherwise things are going to be very bad for grandchildren and we're going to go the direction of Brazil and South Africa.

just because we don't put racial ideology at the forefront doesn't make us anti-white.

it is surface deep because there is nothing in the teachings of the Church that is inherently anti-white unless your definition of anti-white is anyone advocating for treating people like people (man i hate the way that sounds) is bad. I personally agree with the concept of an ethnostate and there isn't anything in the Church that forbids that, only the methods proposed.

Argumentum ad populem

oof, that stings.
Even I'll give you a round of applause for that one.

Daily Reminder that Calles did nothing wrong and the Cristeros had if coming.

>He rarely does, but he was talking about how he had plans to start an alt-right Youtube channel about Catholicism and politics.
I do recall him mentioning making a Catholic Youtube channel. But he was quite busy at the time as well.

desu, I would actually like to understand.

I'm deeply interested in the traditional Catholic faith, but one of the biggest hurdles to this journey is how certain Catholic groups seem to be set on destabilizing society with clearly unsustainable policies. The church seems to put more stock in foreigners than the people it used to care for.

well, I choose fascism as a worldview. Fascism as an idealogy is just a tool to restore natural order to the world and breed generations that wont need the leader to keep them strong

No, as an organization the Roman Catholic church does more to harm whites than any other organization on earth. It is a fact that the church is anti-white.

if you respond to the troll you feed him
Let my reply be the last

Your ideology doesn't matter, retard. Only what the church does matter. And what it does is anti-white, on a global scale and to a greater degree than any other organization in existence. This is all quantitative fact.

It's standard history. You can just read the wikipedia article on it.

the issue isn't that they are incompatible, the issue is that in order for a nation to exist there must be some form of common bond between the people. As it stands currently, the west is disintegrating because such a bond does not exist. This can be rectified in a few ways, one is through a strong government (i.e. facism) another is through a strong faith. the problem is that a democratic system with the government set up as the unifying factor isn't stable due to the fluid nature of democracy.

post dank smolokos

Again, it is an undeniable fact supported by all evidence.

no, burden of proof is on you

OK post evidence

>I hope that lent will help me weed out the evil and bad and show me my wrong doing better.
Amen to this. This is why I do it every year. Inb4 mgtow

>I'm considering giving up porn for lent.
>How hard is this going to be?
First 3 days are hard as heck. I do nofap every year and it gets easier and easier.

It helps if you
1) delete your entire gap folder
2) avoid the Internet/TV for a few days

>Is it okay if I still occasionally masturbate?
Just resist it. the best gap I ever had was after a 90 day nofap. Find a hobby, lift weights, ride a bike till you tire yourself out. Read books in your queue.

>Catholicism is Bayblonian paganism and the Pope is the Antichrist.
I wonder who is behind this post

>demonic wench attempting to divide a peaceful congregation of catholics
GET out of here, satan

>It's a Protestant thinks we worship Mary episode.

Time to get knew friends. Pretending to be someone you're not just wears you down conpletly. It isn't worth it. Better to be along than in bad company

[tipping intensifies]

>God doesnt send me signs, or talk to me in dreams. Why? I feel like He has abandoned me.
I have never received a sign. Don't need one. My struggled are the only confirmation I need. I continue praying and reinforcing my faith.

babby's first catholic general?

Teach them Latin prayers like the Apostle's Creed.

Play some Gregorian chant as background music

this is mainly a problem with education and misunderstanding in the Church, something which has been a growing problem for sometime now. if there are specific examples I would be more than happy to elaborate for you to clear things up.
DO.
NOT.
FEED.
THE.
TROLL.

Was Jesus a Jew?

best and shortest answer to your question is unfortunately:
yes and no

fuck

I mean he shut up anyway so

what said, he's a Jew but not a Khazar if you took the khazarpill

>a tool to restore natural order to the world and breed generations that wont need the leader to keep them strong
You use institutions such as the Church and a well-educated elite to do that. That's how this nation and the great nations of Europe did it. "Restoration" never works, however, cultivation does. Once something has been lost, it can never be gained back again.

Essentially a conservative is always preserving and cultivating the good, whereas a reactionary imagines a past that may or may not have ever existed that can be regained. The Renaissance in Europe wasn't about restoring a golden age, rather, an attempt to figure out what made the Romans and Greeks great and what could Christendom do to have something similar.

Arguably the Protestant Reformation was a reactionary movement since it was an attempt to reconfigure Christendom into how they imagined primitive Christianity to be. Seeing how St. James and St. Paul contradict each other on works and faith, however, I am a skeptic over whether or not this primitive form of Christianity could ever be recreated from the Bible alone. Anyway, perhaps that is why Protestants voted for the NSDAP and Catholics did not since Protestantism is inherently reactionary while Catholicism is more right-leaning moderate.

Actually the birth control pill and pornography (even softcore stuff like girls in bikinis) has probably done more harm to whites than anything else in the world. Also sending labor jobs abroad since now you have to be highly skilled and educated to get a job that's good enough to raise a family on.

I gave into temptation tonight. Pray for me.

>Actually the birth control pill and pornography
absolutely this, I have become convinced that virtually all of the negative effects that the west is currently suffering is due directly or indirectly to the sexual revolution.

Pax Vobiscum, stay strong brother. you're in our paryers.

I knew it would not be worth it and it was not. But I gave in. I am sorry for my sins, Lord. Forgive me.

speaking from experience now is the time to take preventative steps, now before the guilt fades. what will you do?

I am in the process of deleting every piece of pornography on any of my devices. I had deleted some but not all. It's all going now.

Let me tell you a bit about my family history.

My father's family was Protestant and all men in his family were Freemasons. Some people in his family fought for the Southern cause during the Civil War. My mother's family on the other hand were all Catholics and all the men were Knights of Columbus. Some people in her family fought for the Union. Despite all this, after a few generations, they were able to marry and my father even went so far as to convert to Catholicism (although I know he adheres to the five solae today in private).

A marriage between people in their respective groups would have been unthinkable a few generations ago. Even greater divisions have existed in other countries in the past such as Spain, yet Spain's golden age occurred after the Reconquista! But now, tons of WASPs get married with Catholics all the time, even if it has caused a lot of theological confusions in folks such as yours truly.

Our country is certainly fractured, but I think we have a better chance of uncucking ourselves compared to other countries. I'm more concerned about our elite universities than religion or ethnic identity, since these institutions are supposed to be educating our future leaders but they're teaching them nothing but garbage.

I'm more concerned about Europe honestly. They seem utterly fucked with Muslims. Even if we can't fix the nigger and beaner problem at least we don't have them breeding like rats here.

This is true, but all of this comes from the breakdown of a collective identity, which in recent times came from the sexual revolution. the elevation of the self above God and country has wreaked havoc on the cultural landscape of the west, including as you said, the universities and Europe.

>Seeing how St. James and St. Paul contradict each other on works and faith
That's only true if you read Paul anachronistically through the lens of 16th century Europe. Even many Protestant scholars, like N.T. Wright, believe now that Luther and Calvin simply misread Paul.
N.T. Wright's book is really good

tfw "Catholic" thread. No one even remembers that it is Shrove Tuesday.

It's Ash Wednesday here user :)

Catholicucks are responsible for 30% of all immigrant resettlement in the USA, greater than any other single organization.
usccb.org/about/resettlement-services/
catholiccharitiesusa.org/press-releases/catholic-charities-usa-stands-in-solidarity-with-immigrants-and-their-families

Catholic charities are the biggest contributors to the "migrant crisis" in Europe, working with most of the NGOs trafficking the niggers from Libya and also causing the overpopulation in Africa through their charity to feed worthless subhuman garbage.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

Baptists incoming!
Deus Vault when? lol and a bunch of smiley faces.

I remember, last thread was full of it. This one has a bit of a troll problem and got slide pretty hard earlier

It's all the sexual revolution in my opinion and the Catholic Church is the most powerful institution today that is resisting it.

redpill me on why I should follow a foreign, jewish religion

correct, its just a shame that the Church doesn't do a better job educating its youth. That's a heck of a cultural force waiting to awaken if it did.

because the fundamental doctrines and dogmas held by the Church align almost perfectly with the idealized version of western society, and the best way to effectively change the way that the laity practices their faith is by leading by example.

How do you reconcile the doctrinal differences between pre and post Nicene Christianity.

>Actually the birth control pill and pornography (even softcore stuff like girls in bikinis) has probably done more harm to whites than anything else in the world
That is harmful, but not as harmful as opening the borders, in which the Catholic church played a big role.

>because the fundamental doctrines and dogmas held by the Church align almost perfectly with the idealized version of western society
False.

everyone in this thread is a sinner and a heretic. Catholicism is a lie by the devil's of Rome. the teachings of Martin Luther are the only TRUE gospel

And, for example, the Catholic church also promotes this to Africans, which is why they are overpopulating. If we gave them birth control and abortions, we could shrink their population, but catholicucks run these countries so the subhuman horde continues to grow.

For fasting today, what constitutes a small meal? Do we consider it by calories, or?

This is fascinating and I'm grateful you've shared this because this past week I've been struggling to find answers in scripture to combat typical Protestant accusations that we're not biblical. It's a bit discouraging because I've only started attending church again this past Fall and have only been reading the Bible on and off again. I'll have a copy sent to my local library branch if it's available.

I think we're in agreement about the cause of what's ailing our society, but just disagree (perhaps only partially) about the means of solving the problem.

Actually as a Catholic I do despise that organization. They're a great test of my faith in our leadership. I have mixed feelings about our Pope but I have nothing except contempt for that group.

Friendly reminder that any Catholic church outside of italy isn't really a catholic church because it's outside the holy land.

And also, one last point, the sexual revolution would not have been possible without the feminizing effects of the feminist Catholic church, which invented the idea of equality of the sexes and feminism.

I used to be big into calvinistic/presbyterian theology, and subsequently taught to despise the RCC and denounce it as the devil. I've since fallen agnostic, but I'm curious. From where does the RCC derive it's legitimacy?

>Actually as a Catholic I do despise that organization.
Yet you still contribute to them. So you will be killed on the day of the rope, along with all your fellow anti-white catholics.

Christ.

partially incorrect.
equality yes, equivocacy no. Big difference between the two. feminism is the expansion of equivocacy and not supported by doctrine

What's all the fuss about vatican II and the new pope then if apostolic succession is true and divinely inspired

Remember. If you truly care about our lord. Take some time apart to dig further.
The church is getting corrupted. Don't handicap yourself to the bigger church.

>equality yes,
That's all you need for feminism. Catholicism destroyed patriarchy.

There are some nutjobs (aka Sedes) who are heretics. They are noisy but wrong.

But the equality they preach is a corruption of that which the Church teaches. The faith holds that human nature and sexuality is that of a complementary duality with both being whole alone but complete together. Compared to the "men and women" are the same of feminism they couldn't be further apart

Fats are great for you. Ditch the carbs and eat a bunch of greens and steak.

Ditch the sugar too tho. Shit's cancer.

List the differences.

Then they're not teaching it very well, right?

>Craving a burger but Ash Wednesday started here already ;_;

Get out of here christ fags lol

That point I will grant you as it is my single biggest gripe with the church as a whole. we have grown lax in our efforts to educate the youth and as such have landed ourselves in this wonderful mess. for what it's worth, you have my sincerest apologies.

>But the equality they preach is a corruption of that which the Church teaches.
No it isn't. Even holding them at equal worth is an early variant of feminism and undermines patriarchy. Men are better than women in every way. There is no duality of equal worth. This is the correct view. That is why you saw no female leaders in the civilized ancient world, but as soon as christianity came on the scene there were female leaders all over the place.
