      agreed but this site can be really fuckin weird about catholicism. it and traditional english peasant cuisine seem to inspire some of the weirdest struggle sessions.

        I can only speak for myself, but I grew up evangelical and the worst bigots I knew hated Catholics for being mostly non-white and constantly implied that they were cryptopagans who worshipped saints.

        Anti-Catholic (as opposed to general anti-religious, or even anti-Christian) sentiment will probably always trip my "This person might be a radical right wing prosperity gospelist" alarms.

            Well yeah catholicism brought down the polish socialist state. In America Catholicism is different.

          ya definitely not saying protestants or orthodox are any better in the vast majority of cases and I’m unfortunately also familiar with those know-nothing type brainworms. I’m also unfortunately familiar with the many, many catholics, many white but by no means all, who really suck so you can comfortably put me in the anti religion camp, most especially the christian formations but I’m generally not in love with any universalizing religion w socially conservative characteristics especially when not under the influence of a Party in power a la Cuba
