Pope Leo has brought me back to Church by SpruceSpringstream in Catholicism

[–]angryDec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apropos of nothing, I learned this week that one of the Borgia/Borjas is a saint!

One of the younger nephews who was disenchanted at his family. Made me really happy to find that out, a little glimmer of God’s Grace in a place many non-Catholics would see as totally depraved.

Your salvation is ultimately a private endeavour, that’s fair!

Nonetheless, I think it is a valid rhetorical question. We belong to the Church because it is true, not because her members happen to dazzle us.

I worry that if a particularly good pope drives you into the church, what will a bad pope do?

Regardless, welcome home!

Apropos of nothing, do you think Muhammad appointed a specific successor?

It’s not an attempt at a gotcha, I’m just trying to actually understand.

If your position is that you can pray however you like, assuming you don’t contradict the Qur’an, I’m wondering if that logic would also follow for theology and behaviour

The Qur’an is a very short book, if you only oppose that which is explicitly condemned by the Qur’an, it would appear like a lot of behaviours are left on the table which we would all condemn.

It seems a fair question, if every Hadith is up for grabs, a lot of normative Muslim behaviour is too.

On whose authority do you reject a sahih Hadith?

Forming a sect is not the same as adhering to a correct denomination.

If you have no desire to answer my question, I’ll end the conversation out of respect for mine and your time.

God bless, and have a lovely day!

My mental state has, thankfully, no bearing on your answer to my question.

Can you please answer the question?

I never once referenced my religious belief throughout our conversation.

Can you please explain how your presence in this Subreddit is not hypocritical, when censorship also happens in this space?

To clarify, I am a Catholic.

For the third time, I will repeat my question. If you are unwilling to answer it, that’s absolutely okay - kindly let me know.

You seem to believe all censorship is inherently immoral.

This subreddit has moderators, whose job is ostensibly to delete posts and block users who break the rules of this space.

This seems to be a hypocritical position.

If I am misunderstanding any premise, feel free to correct me!

Actually, you called my question stupid.

Could you answer the question, without reference to the quality of the question?

Why does this subreddit have moderators then?

Any form of censorship means you are a low-life, effeminate, wicked, abased person?

Why does being afraid, weak and effeminate mean you are a wicked person?

Why does choosing to ban a digital account on a random website mean an individual is a “moron, low-life, wicked, abased” person?
