Why the light blue countries seem so soulless and vapid?

Same

Nice to see Poles bragging about their religion rather than skyscrapers in Warsaw for a change

majority of people that belong to a religion aren't religious, i expected italy to be higher because of your culture, croatia is about right, although we have more atheists by year

What do you mean by belonging to a religion? Genuinely asking
The (forced on toddlers) baptized people lists for Christians?

What a shit take. Catholics argue that Christ reestablished the original religion of man, so that, indeed, he preached the basic core of all primitive religions ; the lost one. He was not only a model to immitate but a teacher ; if you think there is no depth to his teachings, that's because you misunderstand them, or because you're attracted to innovation, which is precisely an "anti-Catholic" spirit. Read the old catechism. I'm not even Catholic but I like that the way you mock Catholicism is precisely what is supposed to make it special, this movement of reassertion of the "basics". That's why Catholicism values the philosophies of the Greek masters, for exemple, and strives to formulate a synthetic, far-reaching philosophy.

>What do you mean by belonging to a religion?
people that write on documents they're catholic for example, i do it even though i am not very religious

Baptized people can just leave the religion. If they don't believe in it, I don't really see what harm it's supposed to have done to them. Unless they adopt a religion that teaches being baptized harms their soul or salvation or something like that and that can't be fixed, but I can't think of any.

did you know that Poland has 11th tallest church in the world? it has 141,5 metres!

Strawmanning

Been there, done that

Strawmanning
> is precisely what is supposed to make it special
Yeah no, stop larping if you think this
>values the philosophies of the Greek masters, for exemple,
Catholicism is Judaism readapted with Jesus theachings and the readaptations of the new testament to pagan Europe, easy transition and proxy religion
I'd love to see you talk about the concept of trinity

Why?
Not really, you'd have to make the baptism void and get deleted from the list

I expected it to be smaller, it's full of leftist communist gay cucks

i wish we had 0% too but hungarians are pumping those numbers up

why are there so many catholics in denmark
there are less immigrants than in sweden
it is a wealthy secular country with protestant history and catholicism doesnt have cultural value it has in other countries

why not?
i am a catholic, just like all of my family is, i respect my families tradition, we're buried on a catholic graveyard, we get married in the church and all sorts of other stuff
priests have a great impact on my community and majority of my family is religious
when i say 'catholic' i mean culturally and not religiously, i hope u get what i mean

Oh ok, yes I get it

>I'm catholic but I'm not catholic but I write catholic on documents

in croatia most people are non believers, but if you identify as non catholic you will be seen as a traitor communist serb

Combine that with all the forced baptizes, and you have 90% of your catholic people stats

what's so difficult to understand?

Catholicism is religion, you can't be Catholic and don't believe it

I doubt he doesn't understand, especially considering flag
But that's not being Catholic nor Christian, it's a religion, not a cultural forced meme as it is

>Poland
>87%
Heh

I don't get your accusations of strawmanning, I think I understood your post well enough. If I've read implications that weren't there then sorry, I can't read it otherwise.
>Yeah no, stop larping if you think this
Well how many religions have this kind of wide ranging synthetic project, *and* assert it is the reestablishment of a primordial religion, of some line that'd been broken? I think the former is present in many traditional religions, and the second in most forms of christianism, but not both combined.
>Catholicism is Judaism readapted with Jesus theachings and the readaptations of the new testament to pagan Europe, easy transition and proxy religion
That's a vulgar view. Catholicism is hardly the Judaism of today, that was formulated in reaction to early christianism and the failures of the messianic era. Do you mean it's earlier Judaism? Then you contradict yourself when you admit it incorporates a lot of pagan philosophy. You assert it does so for realpolitik reasons but even if that was the case, the result is still what I described.
>I'd love to see you talk about the concept of trinity
Well what do you want to hear? With regards to what we just said, I'll note that it's debated whether similar concepts within neo-platonism have a source within early christianity, or the other way around. So that's more points for Catholics not rejecting the Greek heritage later on, as opposed to what protestants attempted.

And btw, when I say I'm not a catholic, I don't mean in the internet larper kind of way, where you want to be but are scared to make the jump. I genuinely can't agree with many tenets of the faith. I just find more interesting doctrine to take from in it than in the alternatives.

catholicism is 95% tradition and 5% actual belief
i've only met a handful of people that were legitimate catholics and not just catholics on paper

Now do a mass attendance map and a % of people that believe in God
I get it if you believe more or less but you're too lazy to go to mass. But there's a difference between people like that and complete phonies like It's like saying you're a fan of a band because your family likes them, but you skip their concerts, never listen to their music except at family gatherings, and you actually kinda hate the music.
