I don’t ever wanna hear any bullshit about Catholics supporting Nazism because we were forbidden on pain of excommunication to join a nazi party so you can jot that down

Not just that, but thousands and thousands of Catholics laypeople & clergy either died in prison & concentration camps or were murdered. Nuns were killed also or imprisoned, and seminary students were conscripted as forced laborers. Thousands of churches & monasteries were confiscated, closed, and/or destroyed. Ethnic non-Jewish Poles [including the Catholic ethnic majority] were viewed as sub-humans, and Hitler himself said that in his so-called utopia there would be no place for Christian Churches. He also said that the only

Auschwitz’s infamous Death Books consists of 46 volumes noting the deaths of approximately 69 thousand registered prisoners between 1941 and 1943. Out of these 69 thousand, almost 40 thousand people listed are of non-Jewish denominations. And out of these 40 thousand non-Jews, approximately 33-34 thousand prisoners are listed as Catholics. That’s about 83.1 percent of Catholics out of the 40 thousand non-Jews listed in the Death Book. But that’s not it– the true figure of Catholics would probably be higher, according to Piotr Setkiewicz, head of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum archives. The information of the Death Books also omits seven months of 1940 and
the first half of 1941, when the prisoners were almost exclusively
Polish.

It is estimated that a little over 900,000 people were murdered immediately upon arrival without being registered. The majority of those murdered were Jews, while the remaining 15,000 were unregistered non-Jews [Poles, Roma, Soviet POWS]. The religious majority of these non-Jews was Catholicism.

And for those who were registered in Auschwitz: there were over 400,000 prisoners. Half of them were Jews. Of the other 200,000, it is estimated that a little over 150,000 were non-Jewish Poles, the majority being Catholic.

You can miss me with the bullshit that Catholics can support Nazi ideology, that Nazism is in any way compatible with Christianity, and that Hitler was Catholic. It’s insulting to the memory of those who died at the hands of Nazis in WW2.

It’s true and you should say it louder

Me: today is St. Francis’ feast day!

Coworker: are there enough days for feast days for all of the saints?

Me: oh no, there are multiple feasts for each day, usually a saint’s feast day corresponds with their death

Me: Also, fun fact! Mary has a feast day every day of the year believe it or not

Coworker: so.. It’s not really much of a feast then, huh?

Me: oh no, you don’t understand it’s a different kind of feast each day- we love our mom, like, a lot

Me: also we Catholics just love an excuse to celebrate almost anything

Me: it’s a party all day every day

Me: #offeritup

Hi! I’m a fellow Catholic who didn’t understand why people don’t call Catholics Christian because we’re the OP Christians, but I talked to one of my protestant friends, and he explained it to me. They define Christian as someone who teaches and lives two things. 1 everyone has (what they call) “sin nature” and 2 you can only be saved by accepting Jesus as your savior. Every other teaching, including how Baptism works, differs by denomination. Since Catholics believe in faith AND works, (1/2)

they don’t consider Catholics Christian. It’s really just how they define “Christian” because in Catholic school, I was taught that a “Christian” is someone who believes in Jesus Christ, but protestants define it differently. I just wanted to share what I’ve learned about it 🙂 I hope you have a great day!

Oh I know WHY they don’t, but it always bothers me when they say stuff like that. As if Catholic isn’t a Christian denomination.
It’s like an itch under the skin type of thing haha.

I feel like they move the goal posts on us, which is incredibly annoying

Whenever non-Christians find out that Christians don’t think drinking alcohol is a sin, they’re always so surprised. Idk why, since one of Jesus’s most famous miracles is turning water into wine because a party ran out. Drunkenness is a sin, but don’t get drunk and you’re good.

I think it’s more annoying when other Christians get annoyed with you for saying you enjoy alcohol tbh

Catholics be drinking at every Mass

Honestly I think one of things that makes my very Baptist, anti-catholic mother the maddest about me being catholic is that….I drink…….IN CHURCH
