you're absolutely right, i'll try to be more genuinely sorry and even more correct in the future

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

you suck at finding out what the truth is

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

the truth always seems to find me though

also it's like clockwork, check the modlog of fervent anti-communists, find a bigot! classic

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

"DO NOT HATE PEOPLE" is bigotry HISTORY is an even more evil type of bigotry EXPLAINING THE TEACHINGS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH is bigotry

im not an anticommunist, but Stalin was a genocidal dictator

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

calling other people genocidal is an interesting accusation from a worshiper of the king of rome

the 'roman catholic' church even invented a theological doctrine to legitimate hierarchy and imperial power, exactly what anticommunists always accuse communists of doing

the roman empire literally persecuted christianity for decades but ok

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

correct, and then they became it

survived roman persecution to become the thing that burned 'heretics' for opposing the king of rome

i wouldn't even call it the same religion either, more like an inversion of it

yes, the 'church' that was burning heretics opposed to fealty to the king of rome then produced a schism that also burned heretics

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Bruh it's the catholics who raped the kids, and you really think catholics didn't burn protestants? They were a lot more keen on it so just stfu already.

Generalization fallacy here and an Ad Hominem there.

and PROOF for your statements please.

and Catholicism advocates the love of ALL humans, bbqing them is not love.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

honestly I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here because who did you think killed those protestant martyrs of the church of england?

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Henry VIII (1509–1547) and Mary I (1553–1558)

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yeah the protestant and the catholic.

[–] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

all the monarchs are apart of the Church of England which is not catholic

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

You might wanna read up on that history there.. Henry VIII created the church of england, yes. Mary very much was a catholic my friend.

In case you want to read a really good story set in exactly that time with exactly this situation at heart is Column Of Fire by Ken Follet, a novel in a series about a fictional English town throughout different times.
