Islam will be replaced by Christianity.

I know we have had priests here in the past.

I doubt an actual cardinal would ever post here, though. Not only are most of them in their late 60s, 70s, and 80s, they're actually very busy most of the time. They have a hand in the actual running of the Church, since most of them are either archbishops of major cities or they work in the Vatican. They're not called "the Princes of the Church" for nothing.

Also OP should probably read the Bible, read Aquinas, read Augustine, read Catherine of Siena, just read every major Doctor of the Church.

Rome has been attacked before, attempts have been made to subvert it before. But they always fail, in the end, and God's wrath instead is bent on those who tried to harm His Church.

Is it any wonder that we see early signs of renewal in the Church these days, with good young priests and a renewed interest in Tradition, at the same time that the most powerful Masonic entity on Earth, the United States of America, is experiencing extreme unrest and violence?

Don't fuck with God. It never ends well for the people and countries that do.

It will in Africa, there's plenty of really devout Catholics there. And, conveniently, Africa is where there's a lot of active Christian persecution by Muslims. Africa is one of the places where this sort of thing would actually be needed. We don't need to send in the modern crusaders with Jerusalem crosses stamped on their kevlar armor just because some pink-haired barista at Starbucks didn't wish you "Merry Christmas." We'd need to be prudent at this.

Refuted by this.

Slavery just happens. Most Roman slaves were from Greece. It's not a matter of one race over the other.

It's so funny that Moldbug is such a cuck to the Enlightenment. The very IDEA of race, and certain races being superior or inferior, is from the Enlightenment. If Moldbug were really a reactionary he'd know it was all Modernist nonsense.

But then, of course, Moldbug is a Jew, isn't he? And any GOOD reactionary hates Jews. So no wonder Moldbug behaves like an Enlightenment bugman, because if he behaved like a real reactionary he'd have to hate his own race as enemies of mankind and enemies of Jesus Christ.

OP sounds like he needs to read Cardinal Sarah.

>implying

Not only does the Church need to keep Rome, Christianity needs to retake the other four ancient sees. I want Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem back in Christian hands. They've been in the hands of the haters of Christ for way too long by now.

There are good Catholics and bad Catholics. I hope you're not expecting EVERY Ortho you meet to be some kind of based redpilled culture warrior. There are faggoty Orthodox, too.

Reminder that Cardinal Sarah is extraordinarily based:

>"Sarah is a great mystic. He prays constantly, as if he's under some sort of spell. He's frightening. He's literally frightening," a priest notes.

/pol/ hates Catholicism because Protestantism can be turned into nationalism and ethno-nationalism but Catholicism can't. It's easy to make state churches and ethnic churches with Protestantism, and to declare a Christianity only for this race or that. But the Catholic Church is universal. All Catholics on the face of the Earth are united around the Pope, united in their allegiance to Rome. And, conversely, IF you are sworn to loyalty to Rome and the Pope, you CAN be Catholic, regardless of where you come from or what you look like. So you get great Catholics like Cardinal Sarah or Cardinal Ranjith or Cardinal Zen, great princes of the Church from the far corners of the Earth who are nonetheless incredible servants of God.

THAT'S why /pol/ dislikes Catholicism, because it doesn't play well with ethno-nationalism by its very nature.

>Even the last bulwark against liberalism, the Catholic Church, a powerful segment of the church (the Catholic Church of Germany is the richest part of the Church, richer than the Vatican) is about to abandon the old morals and adopt the morals of the Sexual Revolution:

The German Church is going to be outflanked by the Church in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Subcontinental Asia. The decrepit old men of Germany's Church are already beginning to falter. /pol/ doesn't like the Church of the peripheries because they're black, brown, and yellow, but they're more traditionalist than any bishop in Europe, and they're gathering strength.

Why do you think so many traditionalist Catholics like guys like Cardinal Sarah or Cardinal Ranjith? It's not because they're "progressive," I can promise you that. The old men in Germany are on their last gasp.

This reminds me that we really need to begin trying to force our way into Saudi Arabia, one way or another.

Hitchens is an IRL Anglican, of course from his perspective Christianity is dead, since HIS version of Christianity is, essentially, dead. There basically aren't any serious, devoted Anglicans outside of Africa any more; all the Episcopalians in the US and elsewhere are jokes. That's the perspective Hitchens is coming from when he declares Christianity dead. But of course I think he's wrong.

We're going to convert every black and brown-skinned person on the face of the Earth, Ahmed. Try and stop us.

If Liberalism as a sociopolitical order wants to survive it is going to have to expel all its Catholics.

I say this as a devout Catholic myself. The last decade has seen a gradual reawakening of the Church, and a realization that its own goals are not the same as the goals of the liberal, postmodern West. This anon here >>13241126 alludes to part of this debate. But the fact of the matter is that capital-L Liberalism, the Liberalism of Descartes, Rousseau, Bacon, and Locke, does not fit with a Catholic view of reality. It has never fit. The dominance of Britain and America as geopolitical hegemons has essentially forced Liberalism on the Church. But now Britain is a joke and America weakens. The Church, so long forced to bend the knee, perks up its snout, and senses an opportunity to reassert its own priorities. And I, as a faithful Catholic, am glad that it does so.

Why not? Muslims breed at a higher rate than Christians, but Christians convert at a higher rate than Muslims. Nobody, NOBODY converts to Islam; if you're a Muslim, you're highly likely to have been born into the faith. By contrast, Christianity has had huge surges of conversion on the African and Asian continents, and also in Oceania. It's been more than enough to offset declining membership in Europe and the Americas. And don't forget that certain sects of Christianity, like the Amish or Trad Catholics, breed at a higher rate than the overall population. So the Christians have both breeding and conversion on their side.
