Not really fair because catholics arent really inclined to write works of fiction.

>>17405588
For the Catholic column better (non-meme) choices would be Dante or Milton, though frankly I don't see why the works of fiction that a denomination produces are particularly significant

>>17405633
But you could really pick almost any religious fiction from the West between ~40AD and ~1500AD and file it under the Catholic column desu

>>17405633
>Milton
>Catholic

You're right though, Dante would be a good pick

>>17405588
>Orthodogs have Dostofagsky, who was inferior to Tolstoy, Turgenev, Gogol, and Pushkin
>Prots have some dude who converted because of some women
>Catholics have Dante
Not even a Christcuck but your memery is banal. You don't really think the Pope is doing anything other than creating plausible deniability to win points with the libs do you?

YOU ARE EITHER: IGNORANT, OR DELUSIONAL.

ATTACHED TO THIS POST IS THE REAL REPRESENTATIVE IMAGE.

>>17405588
I’ve personally known half a dozen gay “protestants” but every catholic ive known was fairly typically conservative

Brothers Karamazov
Divine Comedy
Paradise Lost

Rank em

>>17405672
OP image is accurate.

>>17405709
>Dante
>Milton
>Dosto
In that order
Note that the gap between dante and milton is quite wide

>>17405633
>>17405638
Or Tolkien

>>17405715
I think Milton is a bit underrated, especially on here. Dante is obviously in his own league though

>>17405712


THAT IS NOT CATHOLICISM; THAT IS ILLUMINISTIC CORRUPTION OF THE CHURCH VIA «PROTESTANTIZING» INFLUENCE.

>>17405738
The are Catholic Bishops with apostolic succession so that is indeed real Catholicism.

/lit/ denizens could do make much worse use of their time than perusing Eve Tushnet's blog. She's a very astute book and film critic, always with an interesting and incisive take.

Brothers Karamazov is significantly better than Paradise Lost which is significantly better than Divine Comedy.

>>17405753
I don't really know much about Catholicism but isn't there a thing whereby whatever the pope says goes? What if the pope says something totally against truch tradition, is his word considered law in the church? Theoretically if the pope said something blatantly satanic like "all children attending our church must now become transgender forcefully" then would that have to be followed or is there some special thing that says he can be ignored if he deviates from tradition?

You asked for Catholic literature?

>>17405588
Gay and Catholic is actually a good book.

>>17405588
>Progressiveism is a direct result of the reformation
>99% of the modernist nonsense we see passed off as Christianity is from ports
> Protestantism is by its nature the least orthodox and least beholden to established doctrines

but yeah man Catholics are the progressive modernists. Enjoy your female priests.

>>17405815
No, papal infallibility only pertains to interpretations of scripture and must be actively invoked.

>>17405600
yeah... ugh those catholiks...

>>17405775

Protestants have the KJV Bible. How do Catholics and Orthodox even compete?

>>17405588
The Lord of the Rings and Narnia shit all over these (((Orthodox))) and (((Protestant))) books

>>17406117
