You won't win neither the fascists.But you know Who will win? The Catholic Church. INB4 scandals, the majority of the abusers are homosexuals who failed to control their faults. WHAT?! Bigot! No. there are many priests who are homosexual and are some of the greatest minds today. THEY learned to control their, disordered passions. I don't care what you call me. I don't fear gays...in fact, I fear NO MAN. Neither you, or Putin, or Xi Xinping. NO ONE. You, like many others would not last 1 day in the priesthood. Ideologues I find so...pitiful. You think your ideology can solve the worlds problems. Sad.

>Homophobia\

I don't fear gays. In fact I fear no man. I fear only the Lord.

t. Catholic.


I am tired of ideological driven rubbish like this. There ARE no transgender. There are only 2 genders: Men and Women. Any other attempt to change genders is simply self mutilation. >Inb4 bigot

In heaven there is a King. In hell ALL are equal. people think they are truly able to be free. The truth is we are slaves regardless of what we do. We either serve God or Mammon. We are either slaves to sweet ever loving God OR we are slaves to our lower animalistic states. A drunkard is a slave to the barkeep and the brewer. The Druggie addicted to the dope peddler. The prideful man a slave to his own self image. The man addicted to lust is a slave to the pornographer and the harlot. So...which are YOU, anon? Are you willing to be rise above your bestial nature, or are you going to submit to it. People think we are "oh so progressive" "so modern" The truth is THIS. We are as pagan today as we were in Jesus' time, except we have power and video games and cocaine and all sorts of entertainment. Technology might change; countries might fall and others rise. But Human nature does not change. Behind the glamour of this "modern" world...is the same old story that has played for as long as man has been around. So what are you? A slave to God...or Mammon? I think I have a good guess as to the answer. I used to stoop to petty squabbling. But i know. In the end, whether you are gay or straight or Catholic or Jew...ALL will bend the knee in the end. Some will live in everlasting glory...others will perish in everlasting misery. So who are you?
