lol this r-slur /u/Frosty-Brain-2199

Many Catholic practices especially Latin American Catholic practices are pagan to an extent. I dropped the salt once and my mom bathed me in holy water. She constantly lights candles and does offerings to the saints

Ah yes those inscrutable brown people don't really worship God like those other chuds they ackshually pray to the Aztec God of Cactus Fruit. I know this because I'm have a Latrinx abuela and was raised in Sacramento, super sabbiyo about things us Latinx do (like be heckin valid Pagans) That why I parrot Black Legend horse shit.

!latinx

Why is everything Redditors say wrong and r-slurred?

As a non-Catholic the saint worship does seem pretty pagan lol but I don't know shit about Catholic culture so I don't judge. :marseyshrug:

Nobody worships saints, if you keep a memento of your Grandma, are you worshipping her?

Before :marseyskellington: I became catholic :marseyklennypriest: it threw me off as well until I realized that prayer :marseysalat: does not equal :marseyjustice: worship :marseyquadsconfused: to Catholics. It's more like making a request of a very righteous person :marseypennyboo: who has passed.

Think about it like when someone may talk at a graveside to a dead family :marseyeeriedeathpose: member or friend. The idea is you are asking a member of the church :marseypastor: to help you.

Don't the LDS have saints in the name?

Anyways, !catholics don't worship saints, they pray to the saints so the saints can intercede on their behalf before God, same thing for Orthodox Christians. Saints are also supposed to be role models of what a good Christian should aspire to become.

Mormons have a β€œHoly Ghost” who basically does that in reverse. He's like God's messenger to us. And yeah LDS call themselves saints but don't worship or pray to dead Mormons. (We baptize dead non-Mormons though :marseyghosthappy:)

Also I'm not a practicing Mormon I was just raised that way haha.

They act like this is the biggest gotcha, that everyone should recognize the terrible hypocrisy of the church and quit right now because it's really just pagan rituals...

Has it occurred to any of these r-slurs that the early Christians still acknowledged the existence of the planets? Those are all "pagan gods". They kept the Four Elements. I mean ffs, they incorporated stuff Aristotle believed and that guy was really pagan. The entire foundation of their view of the universe, the basis for all their science, could all be called "pagan" by a reddit atheist but it never bothered them a bit. Maybe because they weren't r-slurs who have to follow whatever imaginary rules atheists believe they should follow.

I've lived in Italy, the east coast, and the southwest.

They might all be Catholic but they are not the same religion.

As the religion influenced a region, the region back-influenced the local variation on the religion.

@ACA love sucking peepee.

Latinxers are absolutely 100% pagans because it's genetically hard wired in them from their Med and Indio blood (both populations are inherently paganistic and cruel and violent)
