What made the Catholic church so successful?

>>3348904
Because it's the correct answer to everything.

white people

God

Violence, Clovis I, Charlemagne, and the fact that it was the successor to the Rome Emperor

Its priests and bishops were more and more men moulded to creeds and dogmas and set procedures; by the time they became popes they were usually oldish men, habituated to a politic struggle for immediate ends and no longer capable of worldwide views. They had forgotten about the Fatherhood of God; they wanted to see the power of the Church, which was their own power, dominating men's lives.

This.

If they downgrade jacking off, contraception, and premarital sex to venial sins and allow priests to marry, the church would have an enormous boom in membership while still keeping their saintly idealism.

What about women priests and gay marriage?

>>3349544

>>3349544
>women priests
That's even worse than abortions.

What is it with Catholic and family cuckery? The Bible never put emphasis on family, in fact it says Jesus is coming to put son against father, daughter against mother etc. And that you have no father other than the one in heaven. Fuck family.
