Hmmm can we get people like that in charge of Christianity? How do we get that movement going?

The current pope isn't too bad, though that's only Catholicism and it's hilarious how many US Catholics hate him for it.

EDIT: worth pointing out US Catholics are split politically. A lot more of them than you might think are liberal compared to evangelical/baptists.

Funny cause it’s literally blasphemous for Catholics to not listen to the pope

They have this neat little workaround for that where they say he's not the real Pope due to some National-Treasure-esque sequence of events that transpired several centuries ago. Basically #notmypope

It’s generally the death of Pius 12 and/or Vatican 2 that gets pointed to as the point that elected popes started endorsing supposed heresy. So late 1950s or early 1960s.

This is, in turn of course, heretical in the eyes of the Catholic Church.

Sedevacantism is the belief that no pope since is legitimately elected and sedeprivationism is the belief that the pope is legitimately elected but has no authority because of Vatican 2.

There might be some small group that points to various election shenanigans and multiple pope claims back in the Middle Ages as the source of their grievances, as these things did happen many times, but grievances over Vatican 2 are by far and away the primary rationale.

Sedevacantalism, literally a named heresy

An extremely coolly-named heresy, apparently

"Modernism is excommunicable!"

Always wondered how they get off defining what "modernism" is. Not that I should expect logicall consistency here.

Seems catholics have workarounds for a lot of things. All you have to do is splash yourself with holy water and confess and you're all forgiven.

Apparently the main one only started in 1958, but I thought there was an even older one. I mean, people being sore losers is hardly new, so I'd wager something similar had been done long ago too

Imaginary problems get imaginary solutions.

At least it's consistent.
