Do Catholics (in general and on Yea Forums) really believe in their doctrine? The Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, transubstantiation, the Trinity, papal infallibility?

Do priests even believe all this stuff? Are priests intelligent and rational?

Yes, it's all true.

>Do Catholics (in general and on Yea Forums) really believe in their doctrine?
I am Catholic and I do
>The Virgin Birth
Dogma and common knowledge
>the Resurrection
Just about every Christian believes that. Would you be surprised if you suddenly found out all the Catholics on Yea Forums believe in the resurrection?
>transubstantiation
Yeah, though I’m sure many Catholics don’t fully understand it
>the Trinity
See above
>papal infallibility?
See above again
>Do priests even believe all this stuff?
They should. If your priest teaches otherwise on any of the above they could be defrocked
>Are priests intelligent
Some are, some aren’t
>and rational?
…
Yes, priests are humans, and are able to make rational decisions

>defrocked
lol

>rational?
>papal infallibility
This is why Protestants continue to BTFO Catholics in terms of education, critical thinking and power despite the memes about Protestants and LGBT acceptance, and the obvious historical fact about the stolen wealth that the Catholics have held since its beginnings influencing the Roman Empire, in which they keep memeing it as "history, culture and their role on making Western Civilization" despite ruining it multiple times through their history and continuing to do so in Latin America.
But all other things, they do and especially the clergy despite the pope will listen to the literal communist Jesuit militant leader who JUST HAPPENS to support the bastard son of Theology called "Liberation" that they created.

Also OP, it is too late in the USA so wait a while for other answers other than mine and 's.

does anyone here actually believe in the flood, and if they do, how come all we have are common myths and no proof that it happened?

The significance of the flood comes from it's theological truth, not the historical. It seems very unlikely that all the details are historically accurate, but the point is that God formed a covenant with humanity and that sin leads to destruction (the flood) and obedience leads to salvation (the ark). Obviously, many of the events of Genesis are not completely historically accurate either considering that there are literally two completely separate creation stories. These things have been understood for millenia and the Catholic Church has maintained them, you can thank the protestants for confusing people with their sola scriptura, Biblical literalism, and decentralized theology.

>Yea Forums is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to

I believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.


Amen.

I have a hard time even thinking of protestants are christians anymore, there just isn't much meat to their beliefs

>t
>Copypasta

so you're a completely delusional faithlet, i see

>Do Catholics (in general and on Yea Forums) really believe in their doctrine? The Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, transubstantiation, the Trinity, papal infallibility?

Some do, some don't. But they should.

>Do priests even believe all this stuff? Are priests intelligent and rational?
Some priests are not very Catholic and join the Church because it is a great beard, not because they are believers.

Based. Protestants rejected the church created by Jesus. Protestantism and liberalism are the two greates heresies of the modern age.

why do you waste your time with moronic stories?

Is it wrong to blame American evangelicals and fundamentalists for the decline of Christianity? I was Atheist for a long time and what put me off was the delusion of some fundamentalists.

You are not the master of every truth in the world, user.

You feel smarter when you shit out proverbs, don't you? I wish I could self-delude myself like this. Ignorance is bliss, user, and you must be one blissful motherfucker.

yes

>You feel smarter when you shit out proverbs, don't you? I wish I could self-delude myself like this
I think it is kind of ironic that a militant atheist would write about this.

No way.
Christianity also declined in countries where they are almost no American-style evangelicals and fundamentalists.

Accede to the absurd my friend.

Why do you subjugate yourself to other humans?

What?

thIs is all not that crazy, the bodily resurrection of everyone in the 2nd coming is what i find really crazy.

Protestant moralism, having gradually eliminated all doctrinal basis, has ended by degenerating into what is called 'lay morality', which counts among its adherents the representatives of all the varieties of 'liberal Protestantism', as well as the open enemies of every religious idea.
Actually, religion being essentially a form of tradition, the anti-traditional outlook cannot help being anti-religious; it begins by denaturing religion and, when it can, ends by suppressing it entirely. Protestantism is illogical: while doing all it can to 'humanise' religion, it nevertheless, in theory at least, retains revelation, which is a supra-human element. It does not dare carry its negation to the logical conclusion but, by subjecting revelation to all the discussions resulting from purely human interpretations, it does in fact reduce it to next to nothing; and seeing, as one does, people who persist in calling themselves Christian even though they deny the very divinity of Christ, one cannot avoid the supposition that they are much nearer to complete negation than to real Christianity, although they may not realise the fact.
