@MrWHOsecond2 You understand that a move from evangelicalism to orthodox is very obtuse?? Orthodox Christians are less than .0001% of the population (about 700k).

I don’t want to argue with you, so please stop making a fuss about my move from Evangelicalism to the Orthodox Church.
In my opinion, "True Way" is following Jesus, not a particular Christian denomination
Thank you.

I believe the Orthodox Church is a wonderful church with apostolic succession, and the same goes for the Roman Catholic Church, for example. But, at the same time, I have no intention of looking down on Evangelicals or other Protestants. All Christians are brothers and sisters.

@LizzieMarbach Here’s what goes on during the Festival of Saint Fermin. It’s the same people taking part in those rituals everyone shares.
English
@LizzieMarbach I’m Hispanic. These celebrations are known to be hedonistic erotomania. Just plain Sodom and Gomorrah level of depravity. There’s absolutely insane afterparties. This is a known fact across the Hispanic world, the more Catholic the name of a festivity, the crazier the parties.

This is completely foreign to biblical Christianity.

@ImprecatoryOne You should begin by looking up what a genetic fallacy is

You should question your theology on a topic if it didn’t exist for the first 1500 years of the church.

@valerie_reads Actually it’s not even a trend. Data clearly says otherwise. It’s pure hype on twitter.
English
As a person who became a Catholic one click before it was cool, I would like to say to anyone considering becoming a Catholic: don’t be put off because now it’s a trend.
Ignore everything and come.

Women negotiating deals, take this advice from @shondarhimes: Never enter a negotiation you’re not willing to walk away from. Knowing your worth and your boundaries is where real leverage begins. 🤍

@Maximosian @BlubFunnies @BeSaintly Catholics are completely blind to their own faults. It’s actually hilarious. “We elevate the local culture” what are they even talking about??? Lmao
English
@BlubFunnies @BeSaintly Up until recently you guys were adamant about doing the liturgy in latin rather than common tongue. Within Japan half of Catholics are foreign nationals and Protestants and Evangelicals have you beat out in actual number of Japanese
English
It's not just in Japan. The way I see it, Protestants everywhere (particularly Evangelicals) push their norms influenced by their own culture onto everywhere they go. Catholicism, on the other hand, elevates the cultures of the world and thus shows the universality of the Church.

海外のカトリック信徒もこのような認識で先祖を敬う事をよしとしています。やはり日本のプロテスタントの一部の聖書原理主義の聖書理解がおかしいと言わざる得ません。 x.com/i/status/20385…

@poperespecter1 @ryanburge Cope harder. Just about every tweet of yours is cope.
English
a) "ever used" doesn't mean they are currently as likely. A lot of Catholics fall away for a while or are converts that would answer yes to that question without it meaning they are currently using.
b) Catholics, Southern Baptists, and Orthodox all have about 25-30% church attendance rates. This makes data that does not account for attendance very suspect. If someone doesn't care enough to show up (a mortal sin in the Catholic Church) why would you expect them to obey the social teachings of the church?
English
Catholics are just as likely to use birth control as the general population.

I think attachment to contraception is the #1 thing holding Protestants back from becoming Catholic.

@poperespecter1 Fun police? The fun being burning people alive. What a massive retard.

In a lot of ways, the protestant reformation was just dour people being fun police.

@poperespecter1 @TheKaterPotater Cope harder. It’s amazing how you trad carbs willl bend over backwards to justify clear as day corruption. Massive red flags. But nah, look the other way.
English
@TheKaterPotater Sure bud. He is a Catholic banker who worked for a variety of banks in his 35 year career. That bank was not even the actual Rothschild bank (Rothschild & CO) but a separate independent entity and he was only in charge 20 months before moving to something else.

Today’s reaction has made it clear that the majority of MAGA evangelicals don’t consider Catholics in the Middle East to be real Christians.
English
@ryanburge And yet the evangelicals are tripping over themselves to defend actual whores all over the internet. They don't support biblical messages of men providing for his family, they just want a complete simp who will accept anything uncritically.

"It is much better for everyone involved if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family"
35% of evangelical women agree with that statement - the highest of any tradition.
It's 25% of Black Protestant women
22% of Catholic women.
English
@LogosFilium @LizzieMarbach No true Scotsman bs you’re spewing. If the Catholic Church claims them, if they say they’re Catholic, then they’re Catholic. Cope harder. What you’re asking for is a rigged survey.
English
@LizzieMarbach Selection Bias
Catholic includes everyone baptized as an infant whether Practicing or Non Practicing
Evangelical is a subset of Protestantism w near universal rates of active faith practice
More accurate comparison would b comparing Evangelicals to Strict Practicing Catholics
English
Evangelical women are more in favor of traditional gender roles than Catholic men. Very interesting.

Today I attended Traditional Latin Mass at Ave Maria Catholic Church. My parents were raised Catholic. Their parents were raised Catholic. And by the grace of God, so was I.
On Palm Sunday, we return to Zechariah 9:9: “Behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass.”
Wishing everyone a blessed Palm Sunday. Holy Week is here.

Tomorrow, I’ll be attending the 12:30pm TLM Mass at Ave Maria Catholic Church for Palm Sunday.

Is anyone in the market for a 700-year-old Templar Knights watchtower?
Because there's one for sale in the Lot valley, France. 7 bedrooms across 6 floors, a frescoed dining room, spiral staircase and views over a peaceful medieval village in the Lot region.
There's also a 2-bedroom stone cottage in the walled courtyard, an enclosed garden and a heated swimming pool.
Asking price: €550k ($634k).
The Templar Knights who built this probably didn't picture the pool. But here we are.
English
@LowStudies To what end?? To set up a tu quoque argument?? What a retard
English
I'm not a Catholic (I'm an Orthodox Christian), but I think any Evangelical who criticizes the Catholic Church should self-identify what Evangelical church they attend. And "non-denominational" isn't answering the question.
English
@poperespecter1 @ryanburge “Collapse of Protestantism” is such a retarded rhetorical statement. It’s the collapse of Christianity as a whole, Catholics are leaving en masse as well. And the Catholic Church is counting illegals, which offsets losses. Thing is, illegals are becoming Protestant en masse.
English
If you look at the error bars on the chart you can see that it is possible that Catholics outnumber Protestants. But don't you think it is pretty significant that it is so close? I mean this used to be an overwhelmingly Protestant nation. Now you can lump all protestants together and they maybe outnumber Catholics by a percentage point or two.
I realize that this is more based on the collapse of protestantism than it is based on some giant growth of Catholicism. The Catholic share of the country has been about 20% for 80 years but 19% means that despite a lot of nominal Catholics leaving, we are holding our own. That cannot be said for Protestantism.
English
Among Gen Z, Catholics don't outnumber Protestants.
That wasn't true in 2023. The estimates were not statistically different.
The share of Gen Z who were Catholic the last few years:
2022: 15%
2023: 21%
2024: 16%
2025: 19%
It's a very noisy sequence. No clear trend.
