Backstory: Pope said to stop doing stuff in Latin so people can understand. Conservative catholics are pissed becauseidk they always mad

If you can be swayed to become religious by anything other than overwhelming evidence or airtight logic, then you were never an atheist.

The American (conservative) catholic antipathy towards Pope Francis has been weird to me

Francis reasons are legitimate, but I like the novelty of a mass in Latin. It would be interesting to see one.

BTW TC didnt actually say why he reversed Benedicts decision.

Francis reimposed restrictions on celebrating the Latin Mass that Benedict relaxed in 2007, and went further to limit its use. The pontiff said he was taking action because Benedicts reform had become a source of division in the church and been exploited by Catholics opposed to the Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings that modernized the church and its liturgy.

lol Latin. What century is this?

Sitting in the pews pretending like I understand a single word being said. That's how I like to spend my Sunday's.

reversion here implies he was a catholic before he was an atheist, yeah? still mostly nonsensical, but it makes lightly more sense to use it as an excuse to go back somewhere familiar than to embrace something new.

Yes. What probably happened is growing up all he got was the new Mass which honestl feels a bit plastic and then he went to Latin Mass and it was beautiful. Couldnt understand a word of it of course but he felt it in his gut so he reconverted

Honestly, I'm christian but I do lie to knwo what the Pope's are up to. I have had nothing but good feelings for pope Francis, he is the pope I have been praying for. Really shows those who are devout followers and those who aren't.

Calling Michael Knowles a man is recognizing his humanity, which I'm not willing to do.

People always trick themselves into thinking they can "feel" God

My mom feels power in catholic churches that she says protestant churches lack

In my teenage pagan years I used to convince myself I could feel the presence of nature spirits in the woods

This guy was just looking for an excuse to go back to church. A true atheist isn't going to care if a mass is in Latin.

That's funny, cause my ex girlfriend is catholic. I took her to a christian church with my family one time and she liked it a lot more then catholic church, then her dad freaks out and says she can never go back lmao

Pope Benedict seemed more like one of their people.

Unfortunately Francis is more of a piece of shit than we all thought though.

I think he might have began as a good guy but he's been corrupted by all the church leaders around him

Lol, if this bothers you, you should hear what he has to say about things that actually matter. Michael Knowles is a nut

Static electricity. It's a well known fact that Catholics wear more polyester than Protestants.
