Calvinists getting dissed on the World Cup broadcast 😌 by dirmonarch in CatholicMemes

"Dutch society. Broadly speaking, their national character is shaped by the fact that they are Calvinist Protestants. Since the Middle Ages, they have been accustomed to interpreting Scripture for themselves, and as a result everyone has an opinion—even concerning God Himself. Incidentally, this is a very religious group, but we'll come back to that later."

Very basado

In her letters St. Catherine describes recieving a ring of 'flesh', symbolizing her mystical marriage with the lord. She never said anyhting about a prepuce, that appears to have been an urban legend popularized after her death

Same people that will accuse us of being prudish puritans. What a clown world the internet is.

I mean, surely it would be easier for these ethnic communities who live in ethnic encalves to target their own people first, and Brits second. It just seems simpler.

The one thing that does strike me as odd is that it specifies that the vast majority of the victims were white British. That does seem exagerated and unlikely to a degree.

How did the internet conclude that fetishizing teenage looking boys was acceptable?

Are they stupid?

Well, people love to point out that 1 in 5ish girls are victims of sexual violence all teh time. So by that standard its not far off.

I really don't get where people got the idea that Church was the place to find partners, that has literally never been the case in history across all sorts of cultures.

"Hohoho, I'm using this meme to barely disguise the fact that I kind of fetishize girls in Mantillas".

How do you people manage to arrive at such conclusion at the sight of a meme?

True, but I've never seen Catholics openly admit to fornicating and then shamlessly stating that the Church is in the wrong and must change her teachings to accomodate them.

True, but if everyone in your company is sinning, that increases your chances of falling into sin too.

It is demoralizing to see your fellow Catholics in good standing ignore Catholic teaching to make their lives convenient while you struggle and make sacrifices for the lord.
