I'm being sincere. I promise. How do you guys justify the following:

  • original sin and baptism of infants
  • transubstantiation
  • celibacy among clergy
  • saints (idol worship imo)
  • systemic/widespread issue of pedophilia among clergy
  • woke Pope

EDIT: Full transparency - I have refered to the catholic church as the church of the devil in other subs. Just my opinion.

You might get some value out of reading or listening to The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop, particular the chapters that document the origin of each of the practices OP mentioned.

Not really, I stopped believing in any of it 20 years ago. Just having a debate because I'm bored and OP said he wanted a genuine discussion.

Any of it? Catholicism or God in general?

How can you have faith in a church that abuses children? That’s irreconcilable as far as I’m concerned. You should have a look into the mother and baby scandal in Ireland. Mass graves of children in Tuam, frightening stuff.
