Non-Denominationalism VS Catholicism (for AdaptableRatman)

This is not going to be a debate about semantics

A person who is baptized. A professed Christian also believes in the essentials of the Christian faith, notably in the Apostles' Creed. A Catholic Christian further accepts the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, participates in the Eucharistic liturgy and sacraments of Catholic Christianity, and gives allegiance to the Catholic hierarchy and especially to the Bishop of Rome.

In its most limited sense, the term ”nondenominationalism” refers to any church that operates...

A non-denominational church is a Christian church that does not affiliate with...

A non-denominational person or organization is one that does not follow (or is not restricted to) any particular or specific religious denomination.

a religious group that has slightly different beliefs from other groups that share the same religion

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

      the holy catholic* church,

      the communion of saints,

      the forgiveness of sins,

      the resurrection of the body,

      and the life everlasting. Amen.

The role of St. Peter and his successors is made remarkably clear in Matthew 16:18-19 and its immediate context:

And I tell you, you are Peter (Gr.—petros—‘rock’), and on this rock (Gr.—petra—‘rock’) I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

1. Deep shame over chastity (issue 4 explores full celibates rather than chastity until marriage) and also confusing it with sole abstinence. Abstinence lets one masturbate and mentally harbour severe dissatisfaction about their state of being.
   
2. Societies that are Western take the Christian value of loving others as the dream goal and pervert this insolely to erotic love. The proof they still think in a Christian way, almost in an ND manner, is that they stigmatise polygamy, straight-up outlawing any nonmonogamous marriages in these nations, yet allow all sorts to get married, even people that identify as furries (nonhumans), let alone homosexuals. They also allow easy-exit divorce and sex outside marriage to be far less stigmatised.
   
3. If you combine issues 1 and 2 and add modern feminism on top, it ends up with women believing they're right and entitled to have sex with any man they fancy at any time if he is down for it and that if 5 of them dedicate themselves to the same player, the 4 men left off of the approximate 50/50 gender split must suck it up, sulk and get over it. This part here is even an issue Islam never ever remotely fixed.
   
4. Extreme cases of severe genetic or emotional-trauma abnormalities that make sex and/or spousal relationships unfeasible for an individual mean they feel they are less of a person. This is not the same as issue 1. These are people who are not likely to get fruitful procreation and marriage bonding out of a sexual bond and thus are ideally lifelong celibates, not temporarily chaste, for chastity is about when to have sex, while celibacy is to totally reject it. Issue 1 includes men who can get laid but lack the social and psychological framework to build up towards a healthy relationship. Here I mean people who are built/wired for single-to-death life. Catholics venerate them and respect that they have a less typical way of fulfilling their lives, and Catholics have bigger families more often to make up for the population decrease such people offer.
   

In Hitler's early political statements, he attempted to express himself to the German public as a Christian.[36] In public speeches prior to and in the early years of his rule, he described himself as a Christian.[37] Hitler and the Nazi party promoted Positive Christianity,[38] which rejected most traditional Christian doctrines such as the divinity of Jesus, as well as Jewish elements such as the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible).[39][40] In one widely quoted remark, he described Jesus as an "Aryan fighter" who struggled against "the power and pretensions of the corrupt Pharisees"[41] and "Jewish materialism".[42]

While a small minority of historians accept these publicly stated views as genuine expressions of his spirituality,[36] the vast majority believe that Hitler was skeptical of religion and anti-Christian, but recognized that he could only be elected and preserve his political power if he feigned a commitment to and belief in Christianity, which the overwhelming majority of Germans believed in.[43] Privately, Hitler repeatedly deprecated Christianity, and told confidants that his reluctance to make public attacks on the Church was not a matter of principle, but a pragmatic political move.[44] In April 1941, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels privately wrote in his diaries that although Hitler was "a fierce opponent" of the Vatican and Christianity, "he forbids me to leave the church. For tactical reasons."[45] Hitler's remarks to confidants, as described by Goebbels, in the memoirs of Albert Speer, and transcripts of Hitler's private conversations recorded by Martin Bormann in Hitler's Table Talk, are further evidence of his irreligious and anti-Christian beliefs;[28] these sources record a number of private remarks in which Hitler ridicules Christian doctrine as absurd, contrary to scientific advancement, and socially destructive.[28][46]

Under the Gleichschaltung (Nazification) process, Hitler attempted to create a unified Protestant Reich Church from Germany's 28 existing Protestant churches. The plan failed, and was resisted by the Confessing Church. Persecution of the Catholic Church in Germany followed the Nazi takeover. Hitler moved quickly to eliminate political Catholicism. Amid harassment of the Church, the Reich concordat treaty with the Vatican was signed in 1933, and promised to respect Church autonomy. Hitler routinely disregarded the Concordat, closing all Catholic institutions whose functions were not strictly religious. Clergy, nuns, and lay leaders were targeted, with thousands of arrests over the ensuing years. The Catholic Church accused the regime of "fundamental hostility to Christ and his Church".[17] Multiple historians believe that the Nazis intended to eradicate traditional forms of Christianity in Germany after victory in the war.[18]

Think about any particular 12-year-old you know. Perhaps it's your own child, perhaps a niece or nephew, or the neighbor's kid.Now imagine this kid is the pope.

As horrific visions of Justin Cardinal Timberlake and St. Tupac tha Skandiluz flit through your head, just remember—it could be much worse. Consider, if you will, the case of Pope Benedict IX.

As spoiled a 12-year-old as ever there was, Benny ascended to the papacy in 1032. The office of pope was presented to him as a gift from his father, Alberic, the Holy Roman Emperor du jour. Benedict was the great-grandson of Marozia, a Roman Senatrix and powerful politician who was reputedly the mistress of Pope Sergius III. Through Marozia, Sergius was said to have sired Pope John IX. Several of Marozia's progeny ascended to the papacy, and Benedict's two immediate predecessors were also his uncles.

The stories about Benedict's behavior reached heights comparable to the most notorious popes. He was accused of habitual sodomy and bestiality, and was said to have sponsored orgies where any available orifice was considered fair game. His excesses were so legendary that they helped prompt St. Peter Damian, a cloistered monk, to write an extended treatise against sex in general, and homosexuality in particular, with a special focus on how these practices had become rampant within the Catholic priesthood and even the papacy itself. In Liber Gomorrhianus (The Book of Gomorrah), Damian railed against homosexuality in explicit detail for more than 100 pages, lumping in masturbation and dry-humping for good measure. Damian recorded that Benedict "feasted on immorality" and that he was "a demon from hell in the disguise of a priest."
Although Damian singled out Benedict for particular scorn, the diatribe was directed at the clergy in general. Benedict's sex life might have been colorful, but it wasn't exactly unusual. The papacy and the clergy at large had fallen into serious disrepute over the preceding 200 years. As a womanizer and a glutton, Benedict was merely indulging in the grand Roman Catholic tradition of the day, following in the footsteps of popes like Sergius and John XII, who transformed the Lateran palace into a brothel. Like Sergius, Benedict was also rumored to be a murderer with papicidal tendencies.

Despite the impressive efforts of his predecessors, Benedict did manage to distinguish himself as an innovator in the annals of bad popery. Not only did he repeat almost every sin committed by previous popes, he came up with one shocking new twist that no one before or since has managed to replicate—selling the papacy.

2351 Lust is disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes.

2352 By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. "Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action." 138 "The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose." For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved." 139
To form an equitable judgment about the subjects' moral responsibility and to guide pastoral action, one must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety, or other psychological or social factors that can lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability.

2353 Fornication is carnal union between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. It is gravely contrary to the dignity of persons and of human sexuality which is naturally ordered to the good of spouses and the generation and education of children. Moreover, it is a grave scandal when there is corruption of the young.

2354 Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials.

2355 Prostitution does injury to the dignity of the person who engages in it, reducing the person to an instrument of sexual pleasure. The one who pays sins gravely against himself: he violates the chastity to which his Baptism pledged him and defiles his body, the temple of the Holy Spirit. 140 Prostitution is a social scourge. It usually involves women, but also men, children, and adolescents (The latter two cases involve the added sin of scandal.). While it is always gravely sinful to engage in prostitution, the imputability of the offense can be attenuated by destitution, blackmail, or social pressure.

2356 Rape is the forcible violation of the sexual intimacy of another person. It does injury to justice and charity. Rape deeply wounds the respect, freedom, and physical and moral integrity to which every person has a right. It causes grave damage that can mark the victim for life. It is always an intrinsically evil act. Graver still is the rape of children committed by parents (incest) or those responsible for the education of the children entrusted to them.
