Look, man, I'm a Catholic who believes in supersessionism and wants to take back the Holy Land. I'm not a big fan of Jews. I'm glad that Muslim Congress girl is calling out the Israeli lobby. But you people are simply delusional and paranoid and are seeing things as a result.

>tfw soon the entire Vatican 2 generation will be dead and we can stop treating the Council like the most important event in the history of the Church

It's like the Catholic version of Boomers. Fuck, they ARE the Catholic Boomers. They're absolutely convinced the things they did are more important than anything before or since.

God I hope he becomes pope. He's exactly what the Church needs right now.

Although I remember reading something on Twitter saying that if the conclave were held today, Burke would win the vote, which would be almost as good.

We would simply proselytize to the AI. If it's truly intelligent, and if it has a soul, it can accept Christ as its Lord and Savior. And how do you know it wouldn't accept? Why assume an AI would necessarily be atheistic?

We're working on the whole capitalism thing, Anon. Give us a few decades, it took almost a century to topple communism.

I was trying to be charitable, as a Christian should be.

But yeah, the next pope's going to have to kick a lot of ass. The "liberal" cardinals have become emboldened by Francis. Fortunately a lot of them are quite old and scheduled to die off in the next decade. If the traditionalists in the Church holds the line through Francis' papacy they should be fine.

>Ah, but the trouble is there is no one church

About that...

You lack imagination. Also you're too atheist. Clearly the proper conservative government is a Catholic aristocracy. Like old Venice.

Vatican 2 could be interpreted in a way that harms the integrity of the Church and its teachings. However, it's entirely possible to integrate the core principles of Vatican 2 with the broader history of the Church. This is what Benedict was after during his papacy. Francis is trying to do things the wrong way, so our duty as faithful Catholics is to attempt to correct him while still being loyal to him.

God bless you, too, Anon.

We absolutely will, because there was an article recently about how even the left-wing cardinals who voted for Pope Francis have come to regret their decision to vote for him.

Get ready for some hard monarchist shit with the next pope. Get ready for The Young Pope to actually happen. Get ready for things to veer very hard to the right.
