also i'm not gonna let this dissuade me from attending mass... i'm just gonna hear "la la la mae de deus la la la" nad then go back to normal mode when that nonsense stops
if the congregation is worth spending time with anyway
i hope they are, i already don't mind most of the people i encounter on a regular basis around here and i know at least some of them also attend mass
The Mary thing isn't as big, as it once was, as we've been corrupted by hanging out too much with Protestant heathens. 😅
good
i've read a lot of stuff, especially about the introduction of catholic christianity to the british isles and this thing of "integrating local religion" into the Church is just dishonest and wrong
"mother of God" is the worst of it. and how many cultures have this as a swear... it's blasphemy, obviously
but i'm gonna let it slide because the general adherence to the main principles, ie, the Decalogue and the words of Jesus Christ have kept a lot of parts of europe in a better state, and that's good, and those protestants, how's that going over there in germany and netherlands and sweden and denmark? lol
i wil say though, that in some sense, "God the Creator" is the Mother of all, but i don't think there is a gender
