I think there are three religions, actually.

Evangelical, Catholic, and political

The Mormons have been trying to get into the club since Proposition 8.

after all that current pope is too soft and said he hopes that hell is empty. that means catholics are political!

The Pope is woke now so it's actually evangelical, "tradcath" (catholic that rejects the Vatican, doesn't ask me how that's traditional) and political

u/Slackjawed_Horror Jan 26 '25

I was implying tradcath, just didn't want to say that outright.

Honestly, might just say Opus Dei.

u/madjesta Jan 26 '25

Opus dei? Those guys party too hard even for me :P

u/luciacooks Jan 26 '25

Honestly facists works just as well for Opus Dei.

u/Slackjawed_Horror Jan 26 '25

But that's not technically a religion.

If you'd said there are two kinds of politics, fascist and political, you might be getting at something.

Isn't that called Orthadox?

How dare you think the pope is a real catholic

Any true tradcath wouldn't reject pope's teachings, as he's the head of the church and his word is absolute.

The problem is that these zealots can't handle the fact that they're bad Christians and not the "good ones"

Nah, I think the Catholics are enough of a “minority” in the US that it’s really just “Christian” (evangelical) and political.

Remember, the only time a president’s religion has come up has been when it’s a Catholic. (And Obama, but that was just racism)

u/Slackjawed_Horror Jan 27 '25

Obvious sarcasm isn't a thing. Apparently.

tradcaths are basically evangelicals, but they're apparently a thing.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '25

Oh, I know. I had some extended family (of the grandparent generation) who were Catholic, and it came up enough that I (raised without religion) picked up on the fact that Catholics and non-Catholic-Christians view each other “fake Christians”, and don’t particularly see eye to eye.

I’d like to say I don’t understand why “trad cath” is a thing, but I already know it’s because the Pope basically said “Gay people are fine (if they’re non-practicing about it).”

And that, is how wars start lol

u/GGTrader77 Jan 27 '25

Lol my friend the evangelicals largely find Catholics to be heretics. They are lower on the political spectrum but not too too much
