I have no clue what that means

he's subtweeting terminally online trad cath converts that don't actually go to mass or engage with their ecclesiastical community

goodnonsense: Vance is an alt-right online-style converted TradCath.

How he approaches religion is extremely American Evangelical Protestant still, despite making a big deal of converting

He does Not Talk Like a Catholic, he uses the Wrong Language

I'm not even an active catholic anymore but like. you can TELL when someone is approaching it in a protestant mode of thought if you grew up catholic

gravenrose: He talked a few days ago about raising his children Christian, lmao

that and all the other shit he actively pushes which is very

The Pope is Telling You To Stop

this explains so much, I always did wonder why so many loud "catholic" politicians seemed to sound more like protestants when it came down to it

There are a loud subset who are converted and trying to use it to score points.

they aren't because it only elicits scorn from the Protestants and from us.

(They think Catholicism is way more conservative than it is, inclusive of misogyny)

when the pope is telling you to go to mass

turns out catholicism is faith and works, you sola fide-ass poser

let him get pissed

let all of the american conservative catholics get pissed

let them declare an antipope

protestants think the catholic church is somewhere on the spectrum from "outdated" to "literally the antichrist"

meanwhile, catholics don't think about protestants at all most of the time

there's a certain variety of protestant that is convinced Catholics worship a moon goddess because of the veneration of Mary :v

One of my early online friends who was DEEP in the ugly kind of Baptist stuff when they were younger and were still actively deprocessing from it straight up went "Oh you're a Papist???" in shock at finding out I was Catholic

Like, you would have thought I had said I called my self a Satanist.

lolllllllllll

i genuinely did not realize other flavors of christianity existed until, like, 3rd grade?

that's how little modern catholics care about protestantism

Ohhhh ok I get it now
