Catholic Church - Your Opinion?

Stoicism? Is this where one attempts to live without pleasure or pain?
Wow. The catholics must have worked the ever-loving life out of you.
Might as well be dead, IMO.

Most Priests are naive young men who get hooked on Catholicism because htey are fearful and it makes them feel GOOD. These are beta or even kappa males who are afraid of life and adventure. These guys have never gotten laid, and many prolly never would because they are in all actuality guilt ridden closet homos in denial. They get sucked in the seminary at 18 or a little later, and are young impressionable and guilt bound…so never leave.

Their urges take over and they end up fucking eachother and/or little kids and much of the time they may sexually harrass nuns. If you all think this rubbish, why don’t you look at the statistics of the indicted just for pederasty, 5% in the USA, and probably would be much higher in places such as the Phillipines or Brazil. Forget about Priest on Priest ass fucking and nun fondling.

Who in their right mind thinks a person who has never been laid, wants to become a Priest at 18 is a anything more than fearful little bitch.

There is nothing honorable in refusing love for a woman, it takes a true man to love a woman and raise a family.

For this reason, I know that Catholicism in the modern day is a Tyranny of secretly shammed Pederasts and Closet over gullible guilt ridden ‘breeders.’

You just took a big smelly shit in your own thread. I hope you’re happy.[/quote]

Uh, I think the priests took a smelly shit on their own religion long before Rohnyn came along.

I also think they should let women be ordained. Women are divine too, you know. You have to have male and female to make a whole. Was not Mary divine? The Church has to recognize the Sacred Feminine. You can’t have life without a womb to nurture it and bring it forth.

They also need to elect a pope who is on the near side of 60 or 70, not 80. They should probably publish some of the Vatican Archives, maybe as a book about the history of the Church, an insider’s version? Even I would read that. The Church has to stop acting like a secret society and more like a public religion.[/quote]

Yes yes yes! But you can’t forget about the catholic’s survival mechanisms that are firmly in place. These mechanisms rule by fear and suppression.

Stoicism is the removal of needless suffering. The goal of Stoicism is consistent endless happiness. The school itself is split into some different ideologies, some believe the end of emotional affect on the mind is the answer, and others believe that to be stage 1 and the end goal is to synergize logic and emotion. The idea that passion is a wild stallion that breaks the average man who tries to mount, thus the idea of this form of Stoicism is to break the beast to reason, and tame it for its power.

Your response isn’t really funny to me, considering Catholicism is bondage through guilt. While Stoicism is freedom from such bullshit.

I would agree. They survive and protect their power base by instilling fear.[/quote]

How do they instill fear?

They are also sometimes referred to as recovering catholics.[/quote]

Did you miss read my post? I think you did, my post was made in jest. As what is now obvious is that Rohnyn was likely not a devout Catholic. In my experience the people that are truly devout are very knowledgeable of the details of their religion.

Ha! Good luck with that. I find Catholicism quite liberating myself.

From “let’s not flame each other” to the above…See if you hate us, all priests are little boy fuckers…
I think OP was actually trying to get a consensus to specifically flame Catholics. He claims to have been one, but I see no demonstration of the fact that he knows even the most obvious details of the faith. I think he’s just another Catholic hater, oh well. Remember it’s ok to hate Catholics and Jews, otherwise it’d be called bigotry.

No, I wasn’t trying to be funny and I agree catholicism instills much guilt.
And I’m certainly all for the removal of endless suffering. Yeah for that!
Who wouldn’t be? (unless of course you’re protecting a power base with a decent revenue stream)
I’ll have to do some research on the path of Stoa.

So criticizing the Church its crimes and hypocrisy amounts to hating? You’d fit right in with the Scientologists.

Oh where to start? Hummmm. Let’s start with the whole “you’re gonna go to hell and never reach salvation unless you behave in the way we tell you to” thing.

If this thread were someone’s debate class project, it’d get an F from any teacher worth a damn.

If, however, it were a sociological project presenting itself as an example of post-modern forms of unbridled egoism and narcissistic internet-onanism…well then, A’s all around!

Well Rohnyn was arguing against a straw man, am I wrong to believe that you wouldn’t use a straw man argument after I just showed Rohnyn that it was a straw man argument, since there are no 18 year old priests or seminarians? His whole argument is based on the fact that these priests or seminarians are 18 years old. The age that one can become legally an adult is 16, why do we not just make an argument that the Catholic Church just sweeps these young boys out of the arms of their parents without looking at the mental/emotional and psychological maturity/intelligence of these young boys.

I mean have you ever even looked at the paper work that it goes into becoming a seminarian looking to become a Catholic priest? No, you haven’t? Oh, okay.

If you did you’d know that the paper work that a seminarian and someone attempting to enter the FBI had right around the same amount of paper work and background checks as each other. The only difference is the FBI has Federal resources.

How about the whole thing where that is not what the Catholic Church teaches? How about the fact that the Church teaches that only Jesus can save you, because he is final Judge and most just, and faith and works will not save you?

Oh and by the way, I check the Catechism before answering this question. No where does the Catholic Church condemn people like you said to Hell. Excommunication is the consequence for condemning someone to Hell.

Dredging them up, over and over again as proof that the whole damn thing is messed up because people in it fucked up is hating on it. You haven’t really shown you know anything about Catholicism at all. You have the CNN understanding of the faith.

I seriously doubt I have anything in common with Scientologists. I am a little skeptical about the whole “Body Thetan” thing.
