yeah i wasn't shocked to learn this but it was new information.

one of the most fascinating things about religion is how people will have such varying and contradictory ideas under the same umbrella.

growing up catholic this has always been really interesting to me, that people within the church can have such wildly different ideas about fundamental topics like the afterlife or the nature of divinity while still being catholic and part of that structure. bound to happen when you have people thinking about the same topic for thousands of years i suppose
