what Dostoevski thought about the Roman Catholic Church...

submitted by boekanier to RomanCatholicism 5 monthsNov 11, 2024 09:54:50 ago (+4/-1)     (RomanCatholicism)

Dostoevsky turned even more fiercely against the Roman Catholic Church. The Pope strove for universal worldly power like the Western Roman Empire. To achieve this, he had taken up the sword and used lies, cunning, deceit, fanaticism, superstition and crime. Catholicism preached the Antichrist and was worse than atheism. In Russia, faith had only disappeared among the privileged circles, but in Europe large masses of the people had already lost their faith out of hatred for the Church. Atheism and socialism arose from the moral resistance to Catholicism. Both ideologies wanted to save man, not through Christ, but by means of violence. Jesuits were portrayed as cunning scum and deceivers.

Ok

Catholicism preached the Antichrist

No. Besides theres no shortage of lies, cunning, deceit, fanatacism and superstition in the eastern churches. Religiosity decreased in North Western Europe earlier than in the East because Western Europe was more advanced and modernized. South West Europe was still steeped in religiosity in Catholic states.

Atheism doesnt want to save man through violence. Thats so gay.

Marxist leaders have advocated violence to gain political power. So have leaders of all sects of Christianity including eastern orthodoxy, catholicism and protestantism. Oliver Cromwell didn’t seek to save man by murdering hundreds of thousands of people? Of course he did.
