Being capital-C-Catholic is just about drinking red wine, have a natural tan, being nominally sexually repressed but very sexual at the same time, and keeping contact with your parents.

        I'm usually pretty up on stuff, having been raised in church, but nearly 100% of that image is new to me.

          dude there's so much that's happened between 0AD and now that it's just wack, like even before protestantism there was so much variation in theological thought within christianity I can't even understand a fraction of it

          like Marcionism which preached about how Jesus was an entirely new god, and that the creator god of the old testament, "the Demiurge," was actually evil (which tbh tracks because he sounds like a massive prick). And then even that had its own schism.

            That's just gnosticism trying to tackle itself onto Christianity when it was on the rise.
