Should we tell them about the way we sometimes put skeletons behind glass coffins in the churches, so that they can smile at us in the pews, or nah? π
Tell "em about all the #SRA by all the catholic leaders, if you really want to horrify them.
Then tell 'em the protestant are no different at the root (or better, crown).
Remind them that half the SRA are french catholic aristocrats
European catholics and American Catholics are not the same. I have actually never seen an ossuary in America. Also, all of the Catholics i know in the us lean more towards npcs than based, the Orthodox here are the based people
Don't mention the #Orthodox. They're still angry at us about 1204, and they always show up and start trying to out-based us. π
they totally win at being more based tho. and their churches are both more beautiful and more modest looking
And a quick mention that many french priests hold the Steppe heritage to be a founding pillar without which western civilization has no leg to stand on
the byzantine empire was a very important centre of learning back in the day. it pretty much went to shit when the ottomans took over tho.
And 1054.

I don't know. The Catholics I know in Maryland and Texas are pretty based.
Maybe it's regional.
all of the catholics i've met have been pretty based. one of my neighbours in my previous place was this awesome kind but quite straightforward lady who was always telling me about how mean her cousin, my landlord, was. haha.
Last year, the skull of St Thomas of Aquinas stayed at our parish for a month.
St Mary Magdalene's skull is on display at the Madeleine Church in Paris.
Imagine you're a protestant, even a high protestant, just going normally to church, and there you got your catholic bros all like "BEHOLD, the skull of St Thomas of Aquinas"
All of reality is pretty horrifying, nice to belong to the church that owns it.
