The Church has taken pretty strong positions against gay marriage. It certainly did in Canada a decade ago when it was legalized. So we can add the Church’s views on certain topics to the list of things you don’t seem terribly familiar with.
The beloved Church believes in moral relativism now instead of moral absolutes of right and wrong.
So we can add Tolkien’s biography to the list of things you don’t know.niceatheist:
How Catholic can u possibly be to be into occult stuff enough to write a million fictional pages about it? I dont have to read his books or watch movies on them cuz hes Catholic!!! LolLovinglight:
Sort of like accusing JRR Tolkien, a fellow Catholic, of writing a work of the occult, no?Bruised_Reed:
Attacking my character now huh. How Christian of u.
Examples, please? The Church still condemns gay marriage, active homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia and a host of other sins. But perhaps you can show where the Church now believes in them. Go on, provide some examples. And no, as with your beloved exorcist, a few priests with unorthodox views does not make that the Church’s view.Hope1960:

That puts you at a disadvantage dicussing this. Movies are a different artform and adaptations never come close to the books.
No witchcraft, No occult.
Good!
Okay, but you suggested she wasn’t really Christian so you care a little bit.
This one hurts. Trilogy = 3 books, 3 movies, 3 parts of a complete work.
I respect him less and less. You know why? I expressed my concern several weeks ago now that his firm of Catholicism did little to promote holiness in oneself but created an environment in which people and activities were judged with great bias, the kind that points fingers, that asserts things about others so all you have is that they are wrong! so all the faithful have is they aren’t like that. He’s creating Pharisees, you see.
I thought I did
Wooden is the word. I read an review of the movie which went something like “as erotic as cleaning out your fridge.” I give the film credit, it made erotic nudity about as untittilating as one can imagine.
I can’t even imagine what you mean by “sidelining” traditional cardinals unless you mean SSPX. As to the “gay masses”, the Church accepts people with same-sex attraction, asking them to remain celibate. And there were no lack of “traditionalist” priests creating scandals. Ireland was run by such men.Hope1960:
How about the liturgical abuses…the ambiguous statements from AL…the sidelining of traditional Cardinals…the dubia…the gay masses…the crazy ecumenism…uplifting Priests and ppl who create scandal…re-instituting inzoli etc etc etc
And yet, by your own admission, you’re a recent convert, so why should I regard you as an authority.
But these are modern times and you may get to choose the method of execution in this day and age. Hurrah!Well if u cant see those issues are going on in the Church then u have failed to see the reality of the current situation.
