I cannot understand the virulent strains of Catholicism on this board and in varied discords. The modern church is so hand-wringing and corrupt that to assume it is the highway to salvation is laughable, and the historical church was essentially a secular power. The individuals who follow the actual correct teachings of the church are around .0001%, and they are mostly pseudo-falangists in eastern Europe. And even if you are following the teachings of the magisterium, the pope ultimately is flipping a coin and siding on social justice over correct teaching, leaving the morality aside. And if he commands you to go against the magisterium, he becomes an anti-pope. Except for the 99% of mouthbreathing pew sitting middlebrow catholics who love him and have been taught since childhood not to question him.

Fuckin garbage answer from a 10 year old

Journey to Rome by Belloc and The End of the Affair by Greene make me actually want to be Catholic again until I see whats going on.

No I disagree, there are many who are sincere. But when you look at the shitshow that is the American sex scandal, the grotesque Irish orphanages scandals, the tacit support of real fascists (not the ones on /pol/ who look longingly at reproduction iron crosses hanging from their rosary), the immensely powerful gay lobby that effectively controls the vatican bank and forced Ratzinger's resignation, and the demonstrably pharisaic component of early modern catholicism that carries over vatican 2 in the face of critical readings of the synoptic gospels, I cant help but smile and laugh when they claim to be the true faith. If I was going to go back to being a pseudo-catholic I would at least join a Syriac orthodox church in communion with rome. the small community at least provides a degree of oversight and self-honesty.

SSPX is probably fine too, except that they are always two steps away from being heretics themselves (especially with the new rage in papal critique which is pissing off Francis). Even if you are rightly guided, getting excommunicated is just that.

not him, but is Gilmore Girls quality? it looks like low-brow popcorn for normies who wish they could shop at Neiman Marcus but must settle for Target instead. the whole thing reeks of worshiping idealized bodies, relationships, property, and one's own identity. in short: consumerism.

Kierkegaard's Sickness Unto Death to drive the wedge between Christianity and natural religion, and elucidate the concept of despair you are suffering.

Could also read La Bas by Huysmans for shock therapy. Neither Deism or Positivism have an answer to Gilles de Rais or the phenomenon of Satanism.

What type of doubt or despair are you feeling that makes Deism appealing anon? If it's acedia (spiritual apathy or sloth) then the Noonday Devil by Charles Nault:
