is it true that there is a bit of a smoking culture in Catholicism?
Nah, that’s just mediterranean life
>>18493696guineas smoke like chimneys
Hasidic Jews are the smokers, some even consider it a mystical practice in Kabbalah
>>18493726They have a neighborhood in Brooklyn called Boro Park. The young kids are always smoking and doing drugs. The men will fuck prostitutes in dark alleys or cars parked in dark places.
>>18493696Polluting the air everyone breathes (air is one) is not a Christian concept. It is an anti-religious concept.
>>18493696You should see what they do with coffee. The amount of complaints Pope Francis got for only putting out 4 coffee machines during the Synod on Synodality was unreal.
>>18494088You’re not even a real priest if you don’t ever get a stomach ulcer from coffee.
>>18493696also in Anglicalism

>>18493696Catholics could probably do with cultivating a *cannabis* smoking culture probably to chill out some i feel like would be nice
>>18495302Makes sense. I mean, wtf do priests do all day anyway? Coffee and cigarettes is like all they have to look forward to.
>>18495302>>18496721The funny part it’s not just Med Catholic lifestyle thing, I live in Nordics and we also have a stereotype that priests drink ridiculous amount of coffee. Because the job basically is just talking, drinking coffee alongside, preparing sermons while drinking coffee, and drinking coffee.
>>18496708I lost faith in God as a child and then briefly regained it in my mid 20s after triggering a psychotic episode by smoking marijuana.
>>18493757> What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”So they can smoke but should not exhale
>>18496829Interesting. I also realised God wasn't real when young then "found" god again in my 30s by coming off my meds. It was a profound experience but eventually I realised I was mistaking my thoughts for a real person. Kinda fucking stupid eh.
