Can a Catholic Be a Democratic Socialist?

[mak2]

Of course not because I read the fucking bible a million times

Very disrespectful to the Bible.

And Jesus never snuck into Rome and voted illegally

nor did he vote twice or used the name of his dead wife nor his mama.

 

[JoeB131]

Jesus never talked about television, printing press, automobiles either, what's your point?

I'd explain it to you again, but you still wouldn't understand. Put down the damn bottle!

And Jesus never snuck into Rome and voted illegally

Because the Romans didn't hold elections, they were a military dictatorship at that point.

Dead people voting is a made up Right wing excuse for losing elections. Just a reminder.

You couldn't explain shit Jesus said he didn't come to change any law twit. And that includes fags and murder

Facts allude you also twit?

In fact, I hope all you so-called conservatives see how your bias was drawn out by this title. If I had called this thread Can a Christian Be a Democratic Socialist you would have gone straight to the issue at hand. But instead it is called Can a Catholic Be a Democratic Socialist, and here came the attacks against the pope. Ah, the bias and hate runs deep

Hmmm... you make an interesting point, but not the one you think.

In the last Century, the Catholic Church as become predominately a "Third World" religion. The majority of the world's Catholics live in poor countries. (which is what happens when you tell people they shouldn't use any kind of contraception, and they make a lot of kids and never get out of poverty- i.e. Latin American, the Philippines, much of Sub-Sahara Africa. ) In the first world countries that were Catholic, more and more people have become either Evangelicals, if they can't live without groveling in front of an imaginary sky pixie, or they've become agnostics/atheists.

So of course, most of the third world would probably be better off under some form of socialism, which is why Pope Lighten Up Francis is embracing it over the abortion/homosexuality stuff.

My God you are a demented sick liar.

Be gone demon

How about addressing my point.

Where in the Bible does Jesus specifically condemn homosexuality?
Where in the Bible does he (or anyone) specifically condemn abortion?

Except the Jews specifically executed Jesus because he DID break their laws.

If this is true, why can you guys never provide any evidence?

 

[surada]

Give to caeser what is caeser.

He is against murder, you are for it, he is against homos you are for them.


It seems to anyone who read the Bible he is a christian, you are not

Wow. You sure are sick. It seems to me that that God made homosexuals too. Maybe you should think about that.

The issue is that you believe that if Christianity was not in those areas, they all would be living in the 23rd century with plenty for all. The Catholic Church expanded its scope to spread the word of God. Unfortunately, humans are not evolved. So, Christianity is easy to blame as it does not defend itself that much.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says, “The Church has rejected the totalitarian and atheistic ideologies associated in modern times with ‘communism’ or ‘socialism’” (2425). This does not mean, however, that Catholics can embrace a kinder, “Christian” socialism in its place. Pope Pius XI famously declared, “Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist” (Quadragesimo Anno, 120).

OP comment: Democrats are the party of Socialism, Sodomy (gay marriage), Infanticide (late term abortion). Those are plain facts. No Christian, be they Catholic or otherwise, can be a democrat.

My boss is very much Catholic, still a very nice guy though. But he says anyone who says they are a Catholic and means it can't be a Democrat because it goes against too many of their core and most sacred beliefs. He says abortion being the biggest one as Jesus doesn't tolerate hurting children and it's murder at once, two big sins.

He is so Catholic he even hates that Catholic people eat fish during lent because modern catholics say "I'm giving up meat for one day" then go eat a fish sandwich which is still meat or say they are giving up beer then go have some wine. He says it's about sacrificing something, to him he doesn't eat for lent and just drinks water. He isn't what he calls most "catholic light". And believes a lot of Catholics who are democrats will go to hell for assisting and supporting people who in general support evil or immoral agendas.

Why then was the temple destroyed? It was the end of temple Judaism.

It's mind-blowing that people like the OP, who spews mountains of hate and invective here pretty much every day, claims to be Christian in the first place.

What you call hate I call truth.
You, the supporter of baby-killers and sodomites, have no credibility here.

"Truth".

One of the many shared qualities and behaviors of hardcore ideologues on both ends of the spectrum is the loss of the capacity to discern fact from opinion.

Your truth is your truth. Only. I don't expect that to make any sense to you.

He is correct.

He is so Catholic he even hates that Catholic people eat fish during lent because modern catholics say "I'm giving up meat for one day" then go eat a fish sandwich which is still meat or say they are giving up beer then go have some wine. He says it's about sacrificing something, to him he doesn't eat for lent and just drinks water. He isn't what he calls most "catholic light".

He is talking about Cafeteria Catholics. Sort of like RINO Reublicans.

Cafeteria Catholics pick and choose what beliefs they will accept and which ones they will ignore, like in a cafeteria.

It would be nice if you could leverage your "religion" to help you deal with your rage.

Uhm, love the sinner and not the sin ring a bell?
