The disdain for Tim Kaine and Hillary Clinton in this thread shows how reactionary Catholicism is.

In all fairness, there are more things to dislike about their candidates than their never apparent faiths respectively, and it's not like Trump, a Presbyterian, has not been thoroughly critiqued either.

It is not a bad thing because the Church has the right to be reactionary.

Ok. I couldn't tell if reactionary was used in a negative way or not. One of the problems with communication by text. There is more to language than just words

Not their fault that Tim Kaine is a closet apostate.

Hillary and Kaine are at least expected. Trump says he's a Christian then insults the pope. -___-

Seriously. I find it hilarious that people make jokes about Pope Benedict XVI being Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars, and I'm sure he does too.

So I've already posted on the RWDT, but I'd like to see what my fellow Christians think about this...

So apparently, Christianity is a polytheistic religion derived from islam Of Jesus of which is monotheistic. islam Of Jesus died 200 years after Jesus. According to the Islam/Muslim Thread.

Check the last two pages of the Islam/Muslim Thread to see more.
