Zone1 JD Vance chose Catholicism.. why?

[forkintheroad7]

He says he chose to become Catholic because the goals of the Catholic Church were the same as his own or words to that effect.

The Catholic Church (meaning the REAL one, which is not seen at the Vatican, but I will not digress further) is the only "church".. Oh, wait, it's the only Church, PERIOD, but anyhow, it is the only Christian community that still teaches that artificial birth control is a mortal sin and abortion--ditto. It is always intrinsically evil --yeh, even when the child is young and small in the womb. The CC put no age limit on that Faith tenet.. That makes the CC one of the few logical entities in Christendom.

and etc... etc

What do you mean “why”?


It’s his choice and he made it, he doesn’t need to explain it to you. Do you think he is going to log on here and explain it to you?

My, what a deeply Christian attitude.

I don't think Jesus approves of snark toward Christians

 

[pknopp]

Not really any concern of mine.

Why would I be snark on his decision?

I fully support it.

You sound like a liberal.

Ugh, the problem with those who choose Catholicism is that they tend to be more fanatical than those of us who had the bad luck to be born into it.

 

[Mashmont]

If Vance ends up becoming President, he will become the first practicing Catholic in this nation's history.

We had this president one time, a long time ago, his name was John Kennedy, guess you never heard of him.

Ah, I think you are suffering from the "No True Scotsman" fallacy here.

Oh, he has.

But in his world, JFK and Biden aren't "True Catholics" because they aren't trying to impose their beliefs on the rest of us.

I wonder if Saint Mashmont and Saint theHawk know a Gay Billionaire and Weird Catholic named Peter created JD Vance

Religious Peter Thiel’s views​

Thiel is a self-described Christian and a promoter of René Girard's Christian anthropology.[161] He grew up in an evangelical household but, as of 2011, described his religious beliefs as "somewhat heterodox", stating: "I believe Christianity is true but I don't sort of feel a compelling need to convince other people of that."[48] Thiel has participated in Veritas Forum events with the noted theologian N. T. Wright discussing religion, politics, and technology.[162][163]

During his time at Stanford University, Thiel attended a lecture given by René Girard. Girard, a Catholic, explained the role of sacrifice and the scapegoatmechanism in resolving social conflict, which appealed to Thiel as it offered a basis for his Christian faith without the fundamentalism of his parents.[164]

The sad thing about billionaires like Theil is that they still think they can control the religious crazies.

Ask the Jews in 1930's Germany who thought Hitler would be good for the country how that worked out for them.

You don't like Jesus or His Church?

LOL

I expect a denial of your implication

doesn't look good to be against Christ or his Church so let me guess... poster will just dismiss Christ's Church as not being His Church..

ho humm.. the usual

 

[forkintheroad7]

We had this president one time, a long time ago, his name was John Kennedy, guess you never heard of him.

Yeh, we also had this little thing called the English language. Check it out some time..

The poster said PRACTICING in conjunction w/ the word Catholic

JFK was hardly a practicing Catholic

 

[forkintheroad7]

If Vance ends up becoming President, he will become the first practicing Catholic in this nation's history.

Trump proves himself to be a genius once again



It's about time we had a person in the TRUE religion in the WH

 

[Blackrook]

JFK was a serial adulterer who had an affair with an East German spy. His father taught him that Christianity was for women, not men.
