never have i been so disgusted at my own countrymen as when i saw an entire town where all streets were covered with sellers of saint figures. a god that can tolerate a cult as superficial and superstitious as that of saint worship cannot be worth venerating.all sizes and shapes and materials were represented.chink bootleg rosaries and madonnemedieval action figurespolytheistic gunplavatican funko popsan entire blasphemous business built on top of scamming old ladies with plastic beads and "silver" portraits sold at 20 times their actual costhow can christians expect to be taken seriously if this "intercession of saints" clown show is allowed to continue?
>>539970192that looks creepywe dont have those figures in orthodoxy
>>539970192Always could be worse pastanon
>>539970192roman catholocism was always pagan and not christian.its the synagogue of satan and the seat of the antichrist. thats what the bible teaches us and thats why they hate sola scriptura.idol worship is forbidden and so is to pray to others but God alone including saints.
Pio of Pietrelcina (born Francesco Forgione; 25 May 1887 – 23 September 1968), widely known as Padre Pio (Italian for "Father Pius", Latin: Pater Pius) was an Italian friar of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, priest, stigmatist and mystic. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, and his feast day is celebrated on 23 September.[2]
>>539970192>"intercession of saints"God listens to his friends and familyLemme guess you're an american vpn /tourist.Well, you're a long way from home heretical judaizing zionist prot. That is a catholic neighbourhood.Cope and seethe!
>>539971089>its the synagogue of satan and the seat of the antichrist. thats what the bible teaches us and thats why they hate sola scriptura.Speak for yourself liar and vain pride ridden heretical prot.Sola scriptura but only when and if it suits you. If it doesn't you go pilpuling or right out lying .Jews are the synagogue of satan and their father is the devil who is the father of all lies and was a murderer from the begining just like hia sons are.And faith without works is dead.Catholics even if great schismatics are more Christian than any of you judaizers will ever be.
>>539970192As consumeristic it is, Catholicism is the only real Western Religion. Carl Jung believed so, and I think he knew what he was talking about, guy was really involved in Christian Mysticism.
>>539970192It's very jeet coded as the zoomers say
>>539971006That actually looks soulful
>>539970192I do agree some catholics go overboard with it but saints are our friends. Prots and iconoclasts are heretics.
>>539970192It reminds of a piece of history I have read about the religious beef between Irish and Italians who emigrated in NY.The Irish accused Italians of not being "proper" Catholics since they were too close to their village saints and prefered to party instead of praying.This was in itself a bold statement considering the fact that the Vatican was in the fucking middle of Italy.
>>539972476Considering the fact that the Catholic church is big on maintaining the Renaissance "high" I agree on that.With that said, I feel like the West should have built its foundations on Eastern Orthodoxy instead, which feels way more ancient than Catholicism.
>>539972476christianity is not western, its from the middle east you dumb beaner
