I'm not entirely sure, I just know that I find myself fundamentally in disagreement with the ascetic and consistently dower nature of the Church of England.

>SSPX or LCMS are the way to go
Last time I checked the one, Holy apostolic Church is in Vatican, built over the bones of St. Peter. Albeit sick, with enemies from within and without, it's still THE church. I was once told to meditate and on the parable of Jesus Christ being asleep on the boat during storm and here's what I was told: The storm symbolizes the powers of this world that seek to destroy the Church. At moments like this, it always seems that Christ is asleep, until he wakes up and calms the storm. We are all in the same boat now awaiting the moment when Christ will calm storm. The one thing you need to remember is that jumping out of the ship, which is the symbol of the Church, means instant death.

Nowadays there are many homos in the church, read what Vigano had to say about it - a homosexual mafia. You also have a Jesuit as a pope and the Jesuits are at the forefront of homosexuals (look at Fr. Martin is doing in the US). So yeah, that's a big problem within the church, no denying there. However, what are we talking about here, burning the fags at a stake, bringing back the inquisition?

I was interested in converting to Catholicism for a few months. i started attending mass, studying catholic history and theology.

I came to the conclusion that the church is completely fucked and has been since Pope Leo X. Catholics are a bunch of mentally ill hypocritical lunatics, or at least their representatives/intellectuals are. The fact they will not admit the church did anything wrong at the time of the reformation is beyond strange.

The theology is also goofy af. Just complete insanity. I read and searched for months trying to find a rational explanation of how they justify their "traditions" and came up with nothing that made any sense. Also when you attend mass, they literally have you THANK GOD for POPE FRANCIS. Yes, you are going to attend church, get on your knees and thank God for POPE FRANCIS. Just think about doing that.

Worst of all, it's literally taken over by pedos. How the hell are you going to be apart of an organization that protects and houses pedos? Does that make any sense? You can't even feel safe taking your kids there? How the HELL CAN THAT BE THE "ONE TRUE CHURCH"? Stupidest thing I've seen in my entire life, or at least up there.

"Christian times" covers an exceedingly large period of time with many different places and practices. I'm not saying homosexuality was tolerated or encouraged, but "burning" wasn't the default or the most common response to it. A lot of the time the penance meted out to sodomites was more or less the same as for fornicators and adulterers. A bit of fasting. That sort of shit.

>>14796769
>The fact they will not admit the church did anything wrong at the time of the reformation is beyond strange.
Wrong. There was nothing to admit in England, lots were admitted in Europe - the biggest mistake was giving laymen the access to church's powers.
>The theology is also goofy af
That's just like your opinion, man.
>THANK GOD for POPE FRANCIS
Thank (insert the local Bishop's name) and Francis, our pope. FUCK, thanking your bishop and your pope, just think about that?!
>Worst of all, it's literally taken over by pedos.
Wrong. Pedos are like what, 1% of all the clergy? Compare that to schools, governments, nurseries. Just because some sick fucks are taking advantage of their positions we have to write off the whole institution?

Convert to Orthodoxy instead. The pope is nothing more than a pedo faggot. His behavior is very much satanic and inhuman, he is contributing to the destruction of the white race and so is the whole catholic church. Instead in Orthodoxy we don't promote race mixing as it was written in the Bible that Gods chosen people are the white Aryans who stem from the son of Noah that didn't get punished, hint it wasn't Shem (ancestors of the Semites), but Japheth ancestors of the Europeans. Racemixing is forbidden by Christ and as such we don't do such things. Also we are more traditional, disregard faggots, Jews, Muslims and all other sects that call themselves Christian.

yeah, and you also thanked your bishop andthe entirety of the church, as you should, for the great work they do in and around your community.

The community and body of the parishioners is the force that makes the church strong, it's the power of the Holy Spirit.

>protects and houses pedos
It is canonical law that any reports of child abuse be immediately reported to civil authorities, I confess, the fact that this had to come into practice under Francis and wasn't an immediate thing is awful, but things are better now and the church is invigorated in its fight against abuse.

I was in an exact same predicament. Then I started going to mass regularly, at first I felt uncomfortable, I wanted to resist everything. But I persevered. Then I decided to go to confession for the first time in 16 years. I broke down I cried later on. It was one of the hardest things I had to too in my life. Now, I've been going regularly, confessing my sins, trying to not fall into the sin, attending the mass on Sunday to best of my ability and there is nothing more fulfilling in my life than this. Just remember, we are incredibly weak. I always fall into mortal sin and then start bargaining with myself of how I should just give up. That's devil working through us.

They're not worthy of interacting with, lest you fall into their grasp.

I'm assuming you are just baiting since Guenon has become meme'd to death, but I'll still respond. Guenon never wrote anything about Nietzsche so I don't think you can make a claim about it either way.

With regards to Deleuze, he wrote a book explicitly against the dialectic so I'm not sure why you are using that as an argument. That is his entire philosophical project at least insofar as he is analyzing Nietzsche: to affirm difference without acknowledging the other. Deleuze is not interested with coining a system of identities. He wants out of that game in a way that is, frankly, not that different from Guenon at a basic level.

He was retroactively BTFO by Guenon. Didn't even read the rest.

That's about the same story I have. I had been away for nearly 10 years and started attending mass around this time last year. I had my first confession in nearly as much time after finishing The Confessions.

Stay strong, brother. I'll include people like you in my prayers. The world needs strong Christian men, even though we will continue to stumble and fail.

Guenon's love for Islam combined with the recent upsurge in posting about Muslims make me suspect some radical Islamic group is trying to infiltrate /lit/.

do you want to give your life in service? that is really the only shining quality of this religion, is discovering that the act of service is divine, and you are made for it. it is jus a very disturbing position to be in, considering the attitudes and behaviours of many people... sacrificing yourself is never a choice but a duty - and i think that really can only be instilled through upbringing as a catholic - unless it's in your nature already.
At the end of the day, looking up to Jesus and understanding the fundamental truths imparted through him is the guiding light - you don't need to be catholic to walk the path it claims service to.

Everyone has a master, Anon. No one is truly free and independent. We all serve someone or something. The freedom we do have is the freedom to choose our master. We have the opportunity to choose who or what we serve.

But if you don't choose, you'll still serve someone or something, you'll just serve them unwittingly, which is the worst thing of all.

We need to start the fundamental fact that we are all subject to death, and that our will is not the end all be all. Non Christians often extend authority to humanity which it just simply doesn't possess, we're small, weak, and need God.

No. The Church of England wasn't founded as part of the Reformation. They weren't theologically influenced by Luther et al until afterward. Anglicans are more like national schismatics. Low Church Anglicans are more like Protestants.
