/clg/ Catholic Literature General

Last Thread (Because I owe my Polish grandparents something)

Atheists and members of other Christian denominations are welcome to debate theology, faith, etc. But please keep it civil.

" 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow."

Maybe we should take a break and not string the threads together one after the other like this.

Yeah, maybe, but that aspect of Christ that is omnipotent and omnipresent was cool with me when I linked the threads.

Anyway.

If you haven't seen the actual Dali portrait in the OP you get yourself up to NY and see it at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

What do you owe your polish grandparents?

Nothing I just thought it was a /clg/ thing to say. It's like [x edition].

You don't owe anything to your grandparents? Wowee

Was Tolstoy right about Dante?

Also, reminder that Catholicism is a religion, not a culture. If you do not believe in Christ, regularly attend Mass, and take the Church seriously as a force in your life, you are ultimately just a LARPer.

What can I read to get a basic but thorough synopsis of Catholic beliefs, preferably with a slight anti-protestant/calvinist slant. Things like salvation, prayer to mary/saints, Peter being the first pope etc.. Like Calvin's Institutes or Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology but a Catholic version

What happened to mere Christianity? I keep seeing these threads on Veeky Forums and it's Catholic this and Catholic that. Protestant or Orthodox seem to be insults, or at least on par with terms such as Muslim or atheist, that is, equally far from our, true faith. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-Catholic. I'm not against your stance, just trying to make sense of it. Is there such a thing as a religion called Christianity anymore? Or am I wrong to think there ever was?
