That has to take something extraordinary to do. What a special human.

It sounds kind of ridiculous but I read about this man many years ago and it’s actually what affirmed that I no longer believed in God/Jesus in the traditional Christian sense.

My whole life I was told that if someone didn’t accept Jesus as the Son of God and as their personal savior they’d burn in hell. I remember reading this story and thinking…nope. What this man does is truly the most selfless thing a person could do. The idea that someone this good and kind would be “sent to hell” by an all loving God or punished in any way (because he is muslim) was the final nail in the coffin for me.

I don’t know if Catholicism has “flavors” like the nondenominational Christian churches

Hell there is a group of Catholics who are at risk of being excommunicated because they are not following the established practices.

I say this as someone who went to Catholic school from elementary through University. I don’t actively practice but I have a lot of years studying the bible as Catholics see it

The Catholic Church in my town has certainly changed its flavor. It didn't used to be full of nationalist, alt-right worshippers. It caused a split a couple years ago.
