“Pope” francis just died, less than a day after VP Vance met with him and prayed “for [francis’] good health”.

Let’s see how this all plays out. Pope Francis was old and had been pretty sick. I was surprised he didn’t die while in the hospital.
Interesting that he dies not even a day after seeing JD.
You gotta wonder what was said between them.
As a practicing Catholic I never liked Pope Francis. But I don’t worship any pope. I know the Catholic Church is rife with sin. As is all the other man made religions
I am thinking about joining. I have issues with the papacy but Protestantism is filled with fake and gay Christians, churches that think rock concerts are worship and mega church grifters.
Also I agree with Catholics and Orthodox on the Eucharist.
Yes. I would never leave the Catholic Church as it is the closest church to the early Christians/apostles. I think we’re the only Christian Church that still believes the priest changes the bread and water into Christ’s actual body and blood.
There are many devout Catholics who don’t agree with the way the Catholic church has gone in general. And there are a few good Catholic Churches out there. You just need to find one that suits your interests or enter one and change it. Start a men’s knights of Columbus group or a women’s group if you’re female.
I found a very good Catholic Church where I live here in the Bible Belt of NC that I love. It’s very small but everyone knows everyone. We have many converts here. They seem to be especially devout I’ve noticed than those raised Catholic.
We have such a great ministry that our Deacon was even recognized by winning a prestigious award rarely given out. He visits many prisons and speaks with the prisoners. Many other men in our community have joined him. We also have a very large group of men in our knights of Columbus group who’ve also been recognized for their charitable work. We have a women’s group that provides social, religious and charitable ministries to our church and community. Because our church is small everyone knows everyone. When I needed assistance after surgery I had women offering to bring dinners to my home or to offer transportation etc. I had several volunteer to come out for a few hours to give my husband some respite
I recently finished a women’s Lenten bible study at my church that was wonderfully written. It was more of a catechism class than a bible study, though It was not really a bible study per se as you know it but took a theme and brought in bible verses to support the theme our father is a loving God . Many were thought provoking questions. Some stories of saints were intertwined
My church in NY was so progressive I actually stopped going. Apparently many others also questioned it so much so a priest had to address that the church was neither right nor left. He was saw many come in from my other Catholic church. Luckily there were several churches there to choose from.
I am male. Raised Protestant but Protestantism is very unfulfilling. I am going to check out both a Catholic and Orthodox Church this week.
Young men like me want tradition. We don’t want “lax” teachings. We want truth, structure and strength. Protestantism is fractured and has too many pick and choose followers.
Good luck with your search. I hope you find a church that fullfills and sustains your beliefs.
Or you could just read God’s word and get the answers straight from the source’s mouth. Make sure you pay attention to what He says about religious traditions since that is what seems important to you.
Edit: grammar
You can supplement your search with Relevant Radio! You'll learn a lot about the faith quickly by tuning in or finding myriads of topics that interests you.
But Protestantism also has wonderful doctrine not tied to crazy popes.
I agree with the Catholics and Orthodox about the Eucharist according to John 6. I think Lutheran Missouri Synod is pretty based though as they also believe in the Eucharist and aren’t fake and gay like some other Lutherans.
JD, justice delivered.
