They still won't credit him in their kickass Jesus fanfic.
>let's give legitimacy to 40000000 denominations
>this will surely help the church become one church!
they really need to set themselves apart from the protestants and focus everyone on unity with the other apostolic churches. when people in the west think about how much they hate religion they're usually thinking of protestant insanity.

Is that really true though? The whole systemically covering up paedophilla thing and then shit like this may have put a dent in their image:

4The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication; 5and on her forehead was written a name, a mystery: ‘Babylon the great, mother of whores and of earth’s abominations.’ Revelation 17 4:5
Reminder that the Roman church is that whore.
Reminder that Catholicism will merge with Islam possibly within our lifetimes.
Reminder that it spearheading ecumenism and the new world order.
>>2456149
Catholics aren't Christian
>>2456170
>Reminder that Catholicism will merge with Islam possibly within our lifetimes.
That'd be pretty dope, tbqh. Christianity would finally get some much needed backbone.
>>2456210
>And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven
DUDE IT WAS JUST A METAPHOR LMAO!
>>2456219
How about Muhammad's bone, up your ass? As all our Muslim brothers living in Africa and the Middle East are called up to help enforce sharia law in Europe?
>>2456203
On a scale of 1 to 100, how sure are you you belong to the saved?
>>2456170
If there has been anyone cosying up with the Muslims in history it were the protestants.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism_and_Islam
Theologically the two are also closer.
>>2456228
Pretty sure sodomy is haram in Sharia, tbqh.
Don't let that stand in the way of your fantasies, though.
>>2456225
And we all know that what metaphor means is "do the exact opposite of what it says".
>>2456236
Cool "history" bro.
Too bad we live in the present where the RCC proclaims that Muslims worship the same God as Christians, kisses the Koran, promotes ecumenism, mass Muslim immigration and says that Christians shouldn't try convert Muslims.
>>2456240
I guess you're too stupid to get figurative language.
>>2456240
Oh and by the way homosexuality is a huge issue in Islamic countries, Sharia law or not, and Muslims refugees have no issues with raping little boys in Europe, you piece of shit.
@2456257

settle down, homoboi
>>2456255
All churches are fallible.
>promotes ecumenism
Why is that bad?
>>2456232
Aces high or aces low?
>>2456236
Better turk than papist
>>2456283
>Why is that bad?
Truth is incompatible with a lie
>>2456283
Ecumenism is a term that's originally meant unifying all Christian denominations, and in this sense It is already problematic due to all the false teachings that the Roman church has been teaching all these years. But from Vatican II onwards ecumenism began to mean simply forgetting all the differences between religions and having communion with Christ-denying and downright satanic religions such a Judaism and Islam, which is evidently (for Christians at least) wicked and against Christ's teachings.
>>2456298
I'm surprised the Catholics realized the truth of Islam, papists are usually diluted with their lies and pacts with Satan.
>>2456302
I believe ecumenism is limited to the orthodox and other apostolic churches.
Dialogue with Judaism and Islam does not have the goal to allow them in the church.
>>2456225
>DUDE IT WAS JUST A METAPHOR LMAO!
The fuck do you call your male progenitor then? Using synonoyms is just the same as calling them father, you know. Had the translator chosen a different word, it would be banned for you just as well.
>>2456131
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
POISON IN THE HOLY FATHER'S FOOD WHEN?
>>2456317
You can believe that, but that would be self-deception
The ecumenical church that the RCC is trying to put together is a forerunner of the antichrist religion that is talked about in revelation, which says all men will worship the antichrist and will have the same religion, except Christians. Given the leading role that the RCC plays in this process, we Christians recognize her as the whore of Babylon.
>>2456341
could you pray for me that I will see clearly again?
Screencap this.
If Vatican III unfolds within our lifetimes, it will proclaim that Allah is God and Muhammad is his prophet, and the Catholic shills will parrot that this has been the "tradition" of the church since the time of Peter, and Protestants are the heretics for not believing in it.
Save yourself from this servant of hell that is the Catholic Church.
>>2456388
THIS IS ALL THE JESUITS FAULT
>>2456388
>this is what Protestants actually believe
>>2456426
it's similar to what many traditionalist catholics believe about the "novus ordo church"
>>2456262
Then it's not inherent to Islam itself.
I for one look forward to an enlightened Islamic Europe leading the Middle East out of barbarism and reestablishing Mare Nostrum after expanding the EU.
>mfw orthodox
>>2456388
Allah is bullshit, but actually they might elevate Mary into the Godhead and create a Quadrinity.
>>2456468
>Assumption of Mary is literally the same as messing with the trinity
>This is what principle-free protestants actually believe
Really activates my almonds
>>2456490
the assumption of mary is unbiblical
>>2456490
I was never talking about the assumption. There will be an attempt to elevate her into the Godhead within our lifetime.
>>2456850
The idea Christianity is dinfined by the bible was invented long after the books of the bible were written
>>2456879
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 20:31
>>2456879
So you reject literally the only dogmatic source of your religion? Then there is no religion. Just whatever the fuck you feel like believing [spoiler]like all religion
>>2457532
He's a Catholic, not a Christian. The only source of his religion is an Argentine communist.
>>2456341
The Pope has never called for uniting Islam and Judaism with Catholicism and has never done so
>>2456149
Maybe by legitimizing, instead of demonizing, other denominations, they'll unite them altogether?
>>2457542
>He's a Catholic, not a Christian.
This is a stale meme that only other Protestants will ever take seriously. I bet you don't even fucking know what "catholic" means, else you wouldn't be spewing this bullshit.
>>2458306
Catholics aren't Christian
>>2458306
Small c catholic =/= Roman Catholic
>>2458319
Obviously, but "Catholic" is just one descriptor out of many: "One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church".
"Roman Catholic" is just the differentiation with all the other sects of Christianity. No matter how hard you try to push the meme, Catholics will keep being Christians and most Christians will therefore be Catholic. Let your butt hurt.
>>2458326
Your church is not a CHRISTian church, its the church of mary and crackers
>>2458326
Christians are Christians
Catholics are Catholics
Catholics aren't Christian
>>2458326
>Catholics will keep being Christians
By definition they aren't Christian because they don't believe the bible
>>2458347
The definition of Christian isn't "believing in the Bible", and Catholics do believe in it anyway.
They just don't take everything it says literally. And neither do any other Christians, since it contradicts itself and many of the stuff in it is amoral by today's standards.
>>2458338
>my church
I'm not Catholic.
They believe in Christ, venerating Mary doesn't take away from that, as much as you wish it did.
>>2458344
But that's wrong, you fucking retard.
>>2458354
*tips fedora*
>>2458370
Thanks for admitting that you have no argument.
