The end of the Catholic Era in Latin America

[Selurong]

Yeah, but then we have the contradiction of living in a totally different land compared to where our ancestors were living and pagan traditions are deeply attached to nature and to the land, even the seasons here are the opposite of the ones in Europe. That's why I think if any ''pagan reconstrucionism'' was to happen in Brazil we would need to take these native Gods into consideration, even if our ancestors never worshipped them.

Brazilians are basically exiles in that sense, we have no physical day to day relation with the lands, forests and mountains in which our ancestors dwelled.

Ok ok, I admit you have a point, I may be stubborn but I'm not a bigot. The real purpose of our discussions is to mutually enrich one another rather than argue who is the best so anyway this is my humble opinion; if Brazil were to bless the world with more diversity I think Brazilians need to either walk one of these paths; revive native culture OR evolve their own one that's completely unique like how French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian were all once just Latin yet they became their own breed of languages.

Either Brazil forms it's own unique character from it's modern mixture or revive it's unique pre-conquest culture.

BTW I love the Brazilian singer Anitta though. I think she's hot.

It is like Gypsies, they became Protestant

No, rather I would say as the Anglos, They already abandoned Catholicism for Protestantism.

[Floralys]

Very good thing, because the Pope is a globalist

[Ruggery]

Spaniards and Pinoys are the only true Catholics left.

EDIT: And Poles.

So you mean there are more Protestants than real Catholics?

Es lo que puede lograr un Papa inepto y asquerosamente progre como Bergoglio.
Una decepción desde todo punto de vista.
Si se despertara de su tumba San Ignacio de Loyola lo ahorcaría.

Incluso el anterior Papa Alemán critico a Bergoglio y menciono que desde su llegada la iglesia esta tomando un mal camino.

[Ruggery]

To be honest I prefer to be surrounded by lukewarm catholics, with their harmless superstitions like lighting candles to saints, rather than be surrounded by wahabi like pentecostals that want to ban the teaching of evolution in public schols or send gay people to psiquiatric hospitals.

And the Catholics did not do that?
Why you believe that the Catholic Church is the main target of Attack for feminism, the LGBT lobby, left-handers, etc?

[Erronkari]

Very good thing, because the Pope is a globalist

Exacto, este papa es un ZURDO de cuidado, flor de commie.
Está destruyendo a la Iglesia católica por dentro, cómo dije, si San Ignacio de Loyola se despierta lo manda acribillar.
Pero bueno, en realidad yo creo que los fieles tenemos que mantenernos inconmovibles, Dios (y por ende Jesús, que es el hijo de Dios y también Dios en sí mismo) es el fin último, y no ese usurpador. Así que a no desfallecer!

We no longer live in the XII century, they attack the Catholic Church because is a straw man.
A symbolic institution that no longer has the power of 50 years ago.

Of course, not.
Feminists attack the Catholic Church, for being anti-abortionists and for having women as submissive with the excuse of religion.
The LGBT lobby attacks Catholics because they believe that homosexuality is a sin and a disease.
Lefties and liberals attack Catholics, because they are conservative and atheists attack the church to offend God.

That happens because Catholic Church is the biggest christian denomination. If you attack the big fish, tiny fish will not do something. Most non-catholics christians at least in Europe and New World were catholic or their parents/grand-parents were original catholics.
Also, leftists are like "dark side of the force users". Most of those came of public universities and combine their rage with their SJWs wishes to attack the rulers of their worlds (whites, men, catholics, businessmen......). In their minds Catholic Church is the opressor and they (in this case feminists and MODERN GENERIC atheists are the opressed).

Also, I don't that the current Pope is leftist as some of you said. Catholic Church is falling even in Ratzinger and Pablo II times. Maybe since the Second Vatican Council in which Catholic Church change while cultural marxism rise everywhere (sexual revolution, New Age....). Bible says that christians will be persecuted. If things continue it's probably that christians return to their orginal status as in Roman Empire.
I think that this current Pope is trying a new technique that Benedito XVI don't do. And is to be inclusive with all the groups to don't make the Catholic Church more unpopular. Benedito XVI did the opposite because he was and is openly against to relativism.
