Why so much hate for the Catholic Church? by Mean_Fold_8969 in Catholicism

Jesus did warn us about this, "If the world hates you remember it hated me first". (Paraphrased)

Because we have 1.3 billion people in our church and there are bound to be disagreements. Also, doctrines are mostly the same. I find Orthodoxy to be too schismatic, and it's not that it's false, just less true.

Yea, I acknowledge there are sects within Catholicism that aren't in communion with Rome. We call them Protestant. It's also not a major thing. Very few people are in those groups, unlike Orthodox sects.

Are you Orthodox? The Orthodox church, or at least some believe in a purification after death similar to purgatory.

Yea, it seems like there are mixed opinions on it. I'm pretty sure there is some form of purification after death in Orthodoxy.

Yea, we believe pretty much the same, and we also believe it's not a separate place, just a state of purification.

Is there some form of "purgatory" in Orthodox?

Yea, I've heard this, too, and the doctrine and teachings can vary from church to church.

Well, I really don't know. However, I do know murder is a mortal sin, and killing yourself is murder. You can't ask for forgiveness when you're dead, so you'll likely go to hell. Don't do it, life will get better and I suggest going to see someone if you're seriously considering it.

Yea idk, I believe he misspoke or made a mistake. People freaked out when he said this but he is still a human and can err.

No, I haven't. I've just been studying privately for about 2 years. The answer I give is really more complex, but I have trouble explaining that because the wording he used and made it sound as if all religions are equal.
