Can we talk about orthodox churches? Gold all over the place
They don’t have cool decorations, like human bones
True tho
God walking in a Catholic church: “I thought I was clear! You shall not make idols. It’s wall to wall covered in golden saints, you thick bastards. 10 rules! I gave you 10 rules and you couldn’t even hold yourself to all 10. Well, at least you didn’t kill or steal.”
Catholic church: “Yeah, about that…”
Catholic church: “We have money, power and our churches are cooler than the kings palace!”
Monarchs: >:(
Protestant church: “We are poor as fuck, the crown took our land and our churches are basically barns.”
Monarchs: ^_^
At least ours aren’t heretical.
Coming from a Paddy? Anything in Ireland comparable to Westminster, York or St Paul’s?
Me, a catholic Barry, scrolling through the comments. Yeah fuck ’em
Imagine having to distract church-goers from the things going on during mass. Be sober.
Common Catholic W💁🏻♀️
Orthodox Churches go all in too.
Because they are literally minded people who hate fun.
As an English Ex-Catholic (yes, we exist) it astounds me that anyone can think that Catholic churches are more exciting. 2 hour mass, no speaking except a “Peace be with you” and a handshake, and boring songs.
Whereas the CoE church near where my parents live has a “take your dog to church” day, and they didn’t complain when my parents got the days wrong and brought an excited labrador who barked during the hymns.
That would NEVER happen in any of the Catholic churches I had to attend.
Least papist paddy
Why pay money for something no one uses anymore? 🤔
Catholic Churches have to be pretty and shiny to distract the kids while they get shafted.
Well, catholic churches aren’t that exciting either. A catholic church service may appear more like a yoga class with all that kneeling, sitting, standing and whatnot, but apart from that nothing that rocks you from your chair. The only ones seeing serious action in church are the altar boys, and I bet they wish their church servive was more boring, too.

Its quite simple, Christ ordered us to help the poor, we bring more glory to God by feeding the starving than we do with pretty pictures.
That and you are supposed to focus on what’s being said.

If God is truly as powerful as they say why would he care about gold?
Heathen
Zürich Cathedral from inside is the most boring church I have ever visited in my life. It’s just empty space, zero decoration.

They even do it better than Greeks
Because we are able to tell style from substance.
Lol, the implication that church is not boring and a massive waste of time.
‘Satanic Temple’ for me.
Thanks.
(As long as I block their email spam) they are OK.
Beautiful simplicity

And this is you on entering an Orthodox church:

We don’t worship idols and only worship God, Jesus and the Holy spirit.
That is the actual answer
And that’s the story of where our national wealth went
look i know im from THE catholic country but thats literally the whole point of protestantism
I thought for once this is my Christian subreddit. Lmao
