Why does Catholicism seem like such a depressing faith?

Why does Catholicism seem like such a depressing faith?

>live your whole life jumping through endless rituals (rosary, confession, mass, tithes, etc) to stay on Gods good side
>constantly looking over your shoulder for sind you might commit
>in the end you'll still probably go to purgatory for 200 years

Why would anyone choose to follow this? Not even a Prot btw

It's the best place to go for pedos and foot and cuckold fetishists.

They really talk too much about hell or even purgatory. Nor do they even stress the rituals as much any more besides mass. Practically no one does confession any more for example.

t. raised Catholic

Surely this is proof that Catholicism is one of the most real religions as it's not just allowing you to do whatever you want unlike say Islam.

>Islam allows you to do whatever you want
Nice bait.
On a side note Catholic girls are pracically synonymous with whores, so there's that for yuh real religion.

Orthodoxism > Catholicism

Truly devout catholic girls are beyond qt

>On a side note Catholic girls are pracically synonymous with whores,
only for creepy middle fetishists

>muh true catholic falacy
The ones you think are most devout have probably seen more dicks and had more abortions than they can count.

I need Catholicism because it taught me to forgive my cheating wife and love/raise her son, even though it's not mine.

And my Mufti announced that I could marry all of my Baca Bazi dancers

Coming from a Catholic country this is just not true. Catholic girls who care about religion in any way that are under 30 are next to non-existent, but they aren't whores.

The real whores are the girls who consider alcohol to be the most important thing in life.

I'd rather have those than Protestantism and its cringe-triggering "Hi fellow kids" tier attempts at being youth-friendly

Women can't abort their rapists child so it's far do's

If you think Catholic's don't do this too I have some bad news.

I know you live in a shit tier (((progressive utopia))) but try the Midwest sometime. Believe me they're out there

>catholics in the Midwest
I assumed there weren't many out there, how common are they?

I live in Catholicstan (Philippines). They do, but extremely fucking rare.

Still not as cringe tier as as Protestants and their Aircon Churches.

Maybe it's different in the third world but here in Europe the pandering is through the roof.

I live in Northern Ireland. The Catholics have their refugee welcome flags, support fag marriage, think immigration is excellent, think Socialism is great and have murals expressing their support for Islamic terrorist organisations. They also allied themselves with every Communist group in Europe.

Our only mistake was not wiping them out completely.

Bullshit. The line for confession actually pisses me off, because there's so many people coming (especially around holidays so they can participate in the Eucharist).

Truth.

Mohammed is a false prophet, dirty unbeliever.

Our faiths are almost the same, despite what OrthoLARPers of Veeky Forums say. They can receive communion in our churches just like we can receive communion in theirs. Eastern Catholics are practically Orthodox except they are in line with Rome.

The most devout girls in church truly are wife material. I'm probably going to get married right out college, that seems to be the trend with the younger Catholics in my area.

Which country is that? There's plenty of young Catholic girls, even in the most secular countries. You just need to know which parishes to look in. Younger people are drawn to tradition and you'll probably find Catholics your age in FSSP or Latin mass parishes.

>Northern Ireland & British Isles

Yeah, you guys are lost in cultural Catholicism. You need to properly catechize your children to avoid that.

>Mohammed is a false prophet
The Pope doesn't think so ;^)

What is throwing a dog a bone

What's wrong turkfag is your trip banned again?

1) rituals are an essential part of every cult and religion
2) You might say the same about any government even liberal ones, they are just trying to make sure you are not an asshole to people, a burden to society.
3) But is that in the bible or just in Dante's divine ramblings?

I am agnostic and I think you are being too pessimistic.

I'm from NI too, this is exactly what I'm talking about.

But it's not as bad as you're saying. Some of those are Sinn Fein pandering rather than the Catholic church pandering.

He kissed the gift as a sign of respect, which is normal in the Middle East.

>>Why does Catholicism seem like such a depressing faith?
Because of the influence of various life denying figures early in it's history.


>>Why would anyone choose to follow this? Not even a Prot btw
Catholics may "believe" in their faith because of early indoctrination during childhood, but most of them don't actually follow it.

1) Most people like ritual. You are the exception here, not the rule.
2) Controlled paranoia makes civilization possible.
3) Heaven seems more terrifying than purgatory. Maybe I'm crazy, but heaven seems to be the total suppression of free will in exchange for eternal bliss.

t. Nonbeliever

Because it's pseudo-Christianity invented for the sole pupose of making money. Kind of like the Jehovah's Witnesses

That sounds like the american version of catholicism.

It also sounds more like the general protestant attitude towards life of no fun allowed, only work from dawn till sunset manufacturing dildos to commerce for shekels in Cambodia, conform and obbey to those illuminated oldfags laying out the community rules and faith in Jesus will save you. "You have faith in Jesus lad?-Yes sir! - Good lad, you're saved. Now keep on working on those dildos."

>t. Jesus from the Holy Bible.

Murricans shouldn't be allowed into religion desu. That was a mistake.

yeah dante put some pope in hell just to shitpost.
