lol and there's still that faggot on /lit/ who says antipope Francis isn't a heretic.

>>16840710
That was a misquote by a hack reporter. If you're going to make a bait thread then actually use scriptural arguments. Then we can have a discussion.

>>16840710
Annihilationism is a heresy. Is the Roman Catholic Church heretical now?

>>16840718
>Pope John Paul II stated on 28 July 1999, that, in speaking of Hell as a place, the Bible uses "a symbolic language", which "must be correctly interpreted … Rather than a place, hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy."[46] Some have interpreted these words as a denial that Hell can be considered to be a place, or at least as providing an alternative picture of Hell

>>16840723
his last pronouncement about faggot unions already proved he is heretical

The Divine Comedy is still in the top three of literature works, together with Homer and the Bible

>>16840710
Because they're most likely American and therefore protestant and puritan. Their favorite pastimes is calling "degenerate" anything remotely offensive and LARPing.
Their low IQ requires a vivid imagery of hell, and all that fire and brimstone nonsense designed to impress on the ignorant. This, in turn, makes the journey of the soul more accessible to our earthly mind, no matter the destination, maybe even desirable. The depictions of heaven and hell always have human figures in them, which is odd, but understandable since if you were to ascend to heaven, you'd like to keep something of your terrestrial self. It's easier to imagine a carbon copy made of some ethereal thing basking in the Lord's light or suffering torments than something more abstract.

>>16840738
Wtf this is actually based

The neopagan seethers in this thread are still less stupid than the retard who said Paradise Lost was Catholic doctrine

>>16840847
I bet that many self-professed Christians on imageboards don't even go to church; that's not to say I personally go although I feel a bit guilty

>>16840854
I normally go but churches are currently forbidden from holding Mass in my country due to the 'Rona

>>16840869
They allow damn shopping centres but not churches; I guess money is more important

>>16840875
>I guess money is more important
in a laic country it is

>>16840875
Do you sing or kiss or handshake people at the mall? You're weird, anon.

>>16840875
it’s almost like capitalism is antithetical to meaningful existence

>>16840942
this is true, but socialism isn't any better as it is an inherently materialist worldview

>>16840710
Dante's Divine Comedy was an act of divine intervention. Similarly to that described in Ion by Plato, the hand of God touched Dante and allowed him to carry out God's will on Earth. This is why Dante's poetry is so beautiful; because all true beauty flows from God, and with this, we can recognized that which is and isn't truly God's will.

never read Dante or the Bible btw

>>16840710
>the disappearance of sinful souls
H-he means purgatory, right? He doesn't mean that if you don't find forgiveness before death that you cease to exist rather than going to heaven?

>>16840710
>other people don't exist
solipsism confirmed

>>16840732
It's been heretical since Vatican II

>>16841011
No he means you stop existing. Because evil is non-existence.

>>16841006
It's apparent you didn't because it's a theological poem only on the surface(not really but,while important, it's the most exterior meaning)

>>16840923
I'm a bit weird,but you wouldn't be here unless you were too

>>16840958
Is there another way? Mussolini kind of tried in my country but I truly don't know if there can be a synthesis to those two elements

>>16840718
>>16840738
Hell is actually a non-Christian concept based on paganism yet basically all Christians treat it like it's in the bible lmao

>>16841006
Based

>>16841089
>And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven:
>But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth
Do all pagancucks have Down's syndrome, or just the ones on 4chan and Twitter?

>>16841120
Where does it say anything about hell? It says something about heaven and non-heaven, but not hell. Are you retarded?

Catholicism is idolatry.

>>16841120
If you think that the popular depiction of hell derived from Dante as an underworld of eternal punishment isn't a mixture of Pagan cosmology with the Christian neurotic daddy complex then you're a brainlet

>>16841129
He's describing Hell, you spastic. Can your peanut brain not comprehend that a name can be later attached to something?

>>16841142
Not what I claimed, nor what he was attacking, and consequently not an argument.

>>16840761
How does this include intercourse?

>>16841157
>the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth
How is this not either earthly life or purgatory? You absolute retard. Hell is a pagan concept that was appropriated by christians. You just don't want to accept it.

>>16840723
>Taking the bible which is the word of God seriously is heretical
I bet you think angels are human like winged creatures too

>>16841089
Even if it would be in the book it is kinda odd that believers would see that as "proof".

>>16840723
he's literally the pope nigga, you can't be a catholic and not support the pope

>>16841166
Pope Francis doesn't want homosexuals to fuck each other, he wants them to be in chaste monogamous relationships

>>16841188
Please take the time to read the Wikipedia or Catholic Encyclopedia article on papal infallibility before speaking on a topic you know less than nothing about.

>>16840732
>now

>And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:
>Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished
It would be great if the pagan larpers on /lit/ actually read the Bible instead of taking Varg's word for everything. Or better yet, fuck off back to /pol/ since you don't read.

>>16841207
who are you to think you know better than the pope?

>>16841293
Please take the time to read the Wikipedia or Catholic Encyclopedia article on papal infallibility before speaking on a topic you know less than nothing about.

>the hell of unquenchable fire
You spent all that time looking for a translation that featured the word hell huh? A better translation would be "everlasting fire" which indicates purgatory. Too bad kid, it's well researched that hell is a pagan concept appropriated by christians. That's why there's also no references to it in the OT.

>>16841188
You can't be a true catholic and a heretic.

>>16841321
>everlasting fire" which indicates purgatory
Everlasting means eternal which means hell.

>>16841196
>Pope Francis doesn't want homosexuals to fuck each other, he wants them to be in chaste monogamous relationships
this is the most out of touch thing imaginable if true
it's like asking water to fall skywards

Hell is what happens to Earth after God leaves.

>>16840710
>read and studied the bible while at catholic school (this is what caused me to lose my faith but that's neither here nor there)
>pretty specifically states that hell is to be without god's light
Hell is a way of being not a place of being.

Look, believe what you want but the pope isn't overturning the Bible, he's only trying to unite the families of gay people but homosexual intercourse is still a sin, meanwhile same-sex relationships and homosexual attraction have never been sins. You plume yourselves on your knowledge of love compared to the demonic liberals but fail to see the difference between a sexual and a romantic-platonic relationship of your own accord.
