Pope Francis publicly endorses civil unions for gay couples.

You are hinting your bets on a resolution or Stalin putting them back...

Stalin wasn't alive in the 70s when the rules relaxed.

As for Stalin.



This is a picture of the largest orthodox cathedral and national treasure of Azerbaijan, you would be forgiven for having never seen it, Stalin had it demolished in the 1930s.

Nazism is essentially pagan as well explained by Umberto Eco

Because pagan is a catch all...

You keep posting it, but I don’t think you know what it means. I am making specific claims, that your quote didn’t address the first time, nor now...

You keep arguing Hitler was not a theist, so I'll keep posting it.

[PACOX]

We've been successfully derailed in bad-faith. GG.

Different issue... might want to visit the Arminian thread for a reason on this one...

He wasn’t, you are ignoring what I am saying, to repeat the same quote... I don’t believe you know what it means...

Second time today... god damn it...

I don't mean to be that guy, but you link was to a site called "russia beyond" and it gave me 3 pop up one kindly telling me I'd won a new Samsung phone....

I've given you litteraly a picture of it without crosses from the early 70s

And a picture of a cathedral stalin demolished under his crack down.

It came from. Stalins 15th party conference and lead to things like.

I wouldn't call shooting priests positive reform.

Look at the years in your link dude... guess what happened...

[Rhlor]

Very true.

Remember there was a member who tried to (and was successful for a while) flaunts a swastika because of its pagan usage. Except their argument was the same the Germany Nazis and Neo-Nazis almost word for word. Nazism has close ties to paganism but I said occult with Heimrich Himmler and his shaping of Nazi ideology in mind. Don't want to make pagans look bad because Nazis adopted pagan beliefs.

Its easily verifiable information too. Weird that some people want to strongly deny it.

Obviously paganism is not the same as Nazism even more so in neo paganism, but it is clear that Nazism was pagan and that there are neo Nazis who adhere to reconstructionist paganism

He wasn’t, you are ignoring what I am saying, to repeat the same quote... I don’t believe you know what it means...

He most definitely was. I don't think you comprehend what you are reading.

[Orange Joe]

Again, Hitler was specifically Catholic. I don't care what your Trumpkin neighbor told you at work, you're not going to argue facts.

He may well have been Catholic -- he was certainly born into it -- though the point is he was a theist.

...... lol

[Mihalik]

We've been successfully derailed in bad-faith. GG.

Yeah.

So how about we refocus to the issue at hand.

Considering the mounting backlash from the conservative wing of the Church, will Francis stick to his position on this or are we going to get some form of backtrack/reversal?

[Felya]

He most definitely was. I don't think you comprehend what you are reading.

If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be providing links and explaining my self... I would just repeat the same quote... You are as right now, as you were when you called him catholic. You didn’t own up to your mistake then, you won’t do it now. So, other than derailing the thread and calling people Trumpsters, what’s the point?

Lol my mistake was assuming Trumpkins didn't know he was a theist, but even some of them have that knowledge. (Just texted my Trumpkin friend who knows that, yes, Hitler was a Christian.)

Christian that believed in multiple pagan gods, according to your quote... go back to creating threads lying about your job.

What does ANY of the last 5 pages got to do with the topic at hand???

Personally, I don't give a rats ass what the Pope thinks. How people choose to live their lives in a way that in no way affects your life is not your business, and certainly not the churches.

[Felya]

Yeah.

So how about we refocus to the issue at hand.

My bad... sorry... I really have to control my self to not quote scripture at these ass holes... my other resist shields are weak...

[Shadowferal]

Fran knows the church needs to roll with the times...to remain relevant.
Of course, I do believe he's also sincere.

[Rhlor]

He may well have been Catholic -- he was certainly born into it -- though the point is he was a theist.

of course he was a theist, he believed valhalla, odin and thor, all of this is true as it is also true that communism is an atheistic ideology and in all communist regimes there were persecutions of religious people.

[Ashleyxoxo]

in all communist regimes there were persecutions of religious people.

But they were not motivated by their atheism.

The main target of the anti-religious campaign in the 1920s and 1930s was the Russian Orthodox Church and Islam, which had the largest number of faithful. Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers, were shot or sent to labour camps. Theological schools were closed, and church publications were prohibited.[1] More than 85,000 Orthodox priests were shot in 1937 alone.[2] Only a twelfth of the Russian Orthodox Church's priests were left functioning in their parishes by 1941.[3]

You've no proof other than your claim.
While there's loads of historical proof the refutes you..

If it's just my claim, why is the topic of his religion hotly debated?

[Rhlor]

But they were not motivated by their atheism.

They will be motivated by their atheistic ideology that believed that religion is the opium of the people and that they should abolish religion. atheism is an important part of communist thought
