>no papism>no mary worship>no kiddy fiddlinghow exactly is it a catholic work?
>>25591759Because the Tolkster framed destroying the ring post facto as a tale of biblical renunciation and not as an allegory for military sabotage
>BUT WHERE DIDDY???I wish the Lord would take me now
>>25591759>>no mary worshipA Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna mÃriel o menel aglar elenath!
>>25591774ok there is mary worship but what about elf pope indulgences and sex abuse cover ups
>>25591799Tom Bombadil is the pope. His forest of faggotry is the Vatican.
>>25591759The world adopts a very thomistic philosophy in that it has teleology and design and purpose and evil is a fallen good etc etc. everything about it works in a Catholic way which is a direct response to Wagner who told the story using Schopenhauer’s philosophy of pessimism.
>>25591967Sauron was just a henchman of Melkor, who fell out of grace way early on. How was he good at any point?
>>25591774Kek, gotten
For a contrary view by a Catholic priest against The Lord of the Rings, read this blogpost. For a pro-Catholicity view, consult the work of Joseph Pearce, also mentioned in the blogpost.https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-fantasy-writing-of-tolkien-was.htmlAnd as >>25591967 said, if nothing else, we can say that there's a lot about the books that are agreeable to Catholic sensibilities that we could easily take for granted. In the hands of another author, it could be something much worse.
>>25591970>fell out of graceThere you have it.
>>25591967This, LoTR is a Judeo-Christian subversion of Wagner

>>25592904>SimonryStill a problem to this day, sadly.At the time Tolkien was writing, the biggest church controversy would've been the Vatican's cooperation with Mussolini. You can kind of see parallels in the Silmarillion if you squint, but the man did hate allegory.
>>25592904those are lonnnnnnnnnng before Tolkien
>>25592447Just wait until you find out Wagner is part Jew?
>>25591759It LARPs that there are clear good and evil sides.
>>25593593>Jews still trying to claim WagnerI guess Mahler and Mendelssohn just weren't good enough.
>>25591759The pre-Christian elements of LotR are what everyone likes whereas the Christian elements were either a snoozefest like the Silmarillion backstory or weakened the plot like Gandalf's resurrection.
>>25593593>Hitler was a Jew >Wagner was a Jew>any notable anti-Semite worshipped by the goys was secretly of Jewish descentat this point I no longer care about the Holocaust (which was real) because it was entirely self-inflictedApologies for making it political
>>25593680Because Aragorn having to collect 100 forekins to marry Elrond's daughter wouldn't feel very Indo-European
>>25591759
>>25591759Through its depiction of sin as terrifyingly, inescapably powerful & capable of effortlessly overwhelming human willpower or conscious decision; contrary to the opinion of dipshit protestants, you cant bible study or prayer circle your way out of corruption
>>25593912>Fag's sons were Faggier and Fagrod and FaganonI think that's when I stopped reading The Silmarillion
>>25591759Should be obvious to anyone reading above the level of a 5th grader.
>>25591799>elf pope indulgences and sex abuse cover upsbro hasn't read the silmarillion or the extended histories of middle earth. attend to your studies, we're talking full-on hentai degeneracy, maybe even lowkey /d/ material
>>25591759I guess so, sure, but like all Christianity, it's built on the foundation of European polytheistic religion and that's why people like it. The Catholicism is this alien layer that only adds boring and patronizing good vs. evil moralising. It's like a photograph where the colours have been desaturated. None of the wonder in fantasy comes from Christianity
>>25595407The more you think about this, the truer you realize it is.
>>25593848The word Holocaust means a sacrifice via fire. Only thing burned like that was Germany and the Christian part of Japan. Blaming the people for jewish bullshit is a very jewish thing to do.
