I thought the religious right hated Catholics?

[countryboy]

Guess I was wrong...

Baptist I know say they aren’t really questions.

Of course you were wrong. What ever made you think that?

He's a single-issue guy. None of these people take into account Catholic social teaching which is anathema to trumpers.

It is always surprising how little self professed rightwing Christians actually know about the history, scope, and diversity of the Christian tradition

Dante? Inferno?

Ooooh, that thing! Hahaha! Wow, who knew that Stench could read anything other than selected Bible things, Jack Chick tracts, and Breitbart?!

Is it? Pray, enlighten us all on the history, scope, and diversity of the Christian tradition, if you're aren't too busy stalking a woman.

Using the verb "think" in conjunction with one of his posts is incongruous, to say the least.

The political preference of American Catholics leans toward the Democratic Party, no matter how much you wish that Catholics hate Democrats.

Sadly you're right. The left poisons everything it touches

Yes, prob quite boring for many but as a lover of history I found it quite interesting....... @ least some parts........

For many, not all, the bible is for thumping, not reading...........

& when you do read it's for application, applied to others, not self........

Most churches use to have their stated creeds & such & although not required it was highly recommended........

Over the years I found that many more atheist knew church history, doctrine & teaching than Christians, w/ the exception of the JW's who go through life long indoctrination,not for self edification/knowledge but to win biblical arguments.............

Yeah, but we don't have nine planets anymore, right? lol

I wonder how many sacrifices of thanksgiving she's made to her god just since last week when RBG passed on?

Not surprised you never read the classic. Most did in high school. It's probably never taught anymore
in English Lit. because of the religious basis of the content.

I have a hard time calling this Barrett woman a Catholic. She's part of a cult and and that's scary.

"The New York Times reported that Barrett and her husband, who are parents to seven children, are members of an obscure group called People of Praise.

"Members of the group swear a lifelong oath of loyalty, called a covenant, to one another, and are assigned and are accountable to a personal adviser, called a 'head' for men and a 'handmaid' for women," the report read. "The group teaches that husbands are the heads of their wives and should take authority over the family."

According to The Times, the group describes itself as a "charismatic Christian community." The "heads and handmaids give direction on important decisions, including whom to date or marry, where to live, whether to take a job or buy a home and how to raise children."

Isn't your church dropping the "southern" part?

Not that I am aware of and, our Church is Southern Baptist But we are First Baptist City I live in!

The Right has always played both sides in most disputes. Especially when it comes to race. We need to build a wall to keep out Mexicans and dEmS aRe ThE rEaL rAcIsTs. The Democrats want to destroy the suburbs with Blacks and the Democrats keep black people on the plantation.

Keeping Illegal invaders out of our country is not Racist, it is the way to keep in check who is coming in, who has been vaccinated, who can support themselves, who are criminal!

I do not know anyone who read Dante's Divine Comedy in high school.

The focus of high school is on English literature.

Not medieval Italian literature.

Not Russian literature.

Not German or French literature.

Not Greek tragedy or drama.

College level literature classes are going to be where one read translations of foreign language literature: Dante, Dostoevsky, Goethe, Kafka.

You know who does stick their busybody noses into what children read at school?

That's right: conservative religious fundamentalists. They even complain when kids read Harry Potter at school.

Lefties ARE Catholics. The RCC is also against divorce, gay marriage, adultery and other issues but it doesn't stop people from (doing those things) or (committing those sins), depending on your point of view.

Yes there are people who claim to be RCC but are not and yes the church dies little about it.
But if you dont accept the rules, you are not on the team.
