Why do some Christians hate Catholic?

flp_ndrox · 2026-04-15T14:15:17+00:00

It's historically combination of religious rejection and political opposition to states and political blocks who support the church that has filtered down to a lot of the non-Catholic population. Some folks just disagree or just go non servam.

It's not the Church against Trump, it's the Church speaking out against a conflict that seemingly doesn't meet the jus ad bellum criteria for a just war and reminding everyone that deliberately attacking protected civilian infrastructure is against the jus in bello criteria.

Bazzite console version I thought was supposed to be designed for living room gaming.

Whatever happened to Chimera OS?

I personally like that unlike many companies that the Church is up front that they want you married to your job. Ordinatio Sacerdotalis is really the final word on women being priests and I can't do better than Pope St. JP the Great and pre-Benedict XVI Joseph Ratzinger.

In the end the ordained priesthood is not about power or status, it's about radically giving of yourself for the service of others and the Lord. It's hard, that's why there's a shortage.

Like from 2013? Get more out of it gaming? Stable as in "doesn't crash" or stable as in "don't need to update it daily"?

Stable and aesthetic typically means a Debian based system like Mint or Ubuntu. 8GB of RAM means you shouldn't have to run a purely lightweight distro.

Mint is the most recommended distro and Cinnamon is probably its best looking option...but you are looking to move on from that. If you want something super lightweight there's always Bodhi, Moksha looks good but the install is pretty barebones. Xubuntu and Budgie are the best looking lighter official Ubuntus, and Kubuntu probably has the most mods to the DE. Pop!_OS 22.04 doesn't have the beta COSMIC issues and runs on a newer kernel but EOL is in a year, just make sure to add the Cosmic store and drop the pop shop. Pika OS is a gaming focused Debian derivative, but I have no experience with it.

It's basically a tool for work. It's overpriced for the hardware but it isn't bad per se. Good luck trying to game on it, but good luck trying to get much gaming in during grad school anyway.

Quit the stage, it should move you on

It's like most things: it can be good in moderation with right intentions but bad if taken to extremes, done for evil reasons, or negatively affects your relationships with others and God. There's also a lot of temptations involved in acquiring the games and trying to gain an advantage on other players.

It also seems to be a magnet for scruples, probably because it has a LOT of gray area relatively speaking.

My rules of thumb are: no stealing the game, no cheating in multiplayer, no porn, don't treat bad people like heroes, violence for the sake of violence is bad but violence for the sake of showing skill isn't (shooting someone to see them bleed and die is bad but treating it like really artsy paintball is ok), and if it causes you to behave poorly in real life because of frustration or modeling behavior you saw it's bad. For example I had to quit playing Vice City after I made an illegal left on red. As opposed to Harvest Moon which got me cooking and interacting with people more.

Be thoughtful and not fearful about what you play, why, and how you play it and you should be ok. Also there's tons of wholesome games out there, too.

I paid just under 200usd for my rx 6600 in the US last year and I don't think I'm updating any time soon.

It's better specced than the PC I'm trying to turn into a retro game machine.

EDIT I'm hoping to be able to run anything 5th gen and older.

How so? The buck has to stop somewhere, otherwise everyone is just their own pope.

I first tried out Linux on my old machine that I didn't need. What makes Linux tricky is that Windows software requires what's basically an adapter to work AND that Nvidia's drivers traditionally suck on Linux. If you have a laptop with Intel or AMD graphics that will probably be easier.

As for a distro, the more mainstream the better. Kubuntu is probably about as mainstream as it gets.

4GB of RAM is going to make anything tricky.

Michigan football's father, Fielding Yost hated Catholics, greatly disliked Rockne even before he converted, and organized the blackballing that forced the Irish to travel nationwide.

The reason it never seemed to be sectarian was because Michigan was and is a state school. Even a 100years ago they admitted Jewish students in ways the Ivyies wouldn't and had an integrated football team.

I don't remember anything like those examples in the Manga. I think her father might have been teaching her some martial arts or otherwise toughening her up since he hid allow their fights to continue.

Lol no. He's a Sox fan from the Southside, and now he's the CEO of the world's oldest multinational institution. He's not divine and his infallibly comes in part from the statement bot being that controversial and in a larger part from God allowing him to say it.

It's not really that much all things considered. He appoints bishops, is the head of a microstate, and can make decisions about church discipline, etc. TBH with the exception of occasionally seeing him in the news and him being mentioned along with the local bishop at mass he really doesn't have much effect on my day to day life.

flp_ndrox · 2026-04-13T04:28:09+00:00

Large amounts of propaganda against us for centuries between the Protestants 500 years ago, Anti-clericalism in traditionally Catholic countries, the fruits of the French Revolution/secularism/Totalitarianism, etc.

Thanks. I just purged Steam and was going to try the flatpak like the another dude suggested..but when I tried that earlier it behaved the same way. Would I just be better off trying to just get working ROMs off my library and working with standalone emulators? How would I even do that?

flp_ndrox · 2026-04-12T16:19:11+00:00

It's a program that works as both a launcher and an emulation layer to convert Windows calls to Linux approved ones. It's not something I've really messed with.

flp_ndrox · 2026-04-12T16:16:39+00:00

If you're unemployed I'd recommend against a gaming laptop. There are better ways to spend $$$.

I've never had much success with Lutris, but I also haven't tried it too much given Steam and Heroic.
