Vatican flag is worse. Those are usually full Nazis.

So many of them are basically terminal stage reactionary 40k LARPers that keep thinking of le epic crusades and killing for heaven points.

explains some stumbling into Eastern Orthodoxy too

getting a little too into the Byzantine Empire, playing one too many "restore the Roman Empire" playthroughs

although i guess that's more a EU5 thing

Like I said in my other post, I know literally zero Latin American Catholics who hate the Pope. Not a single one. It's literally only American adult convert tradcaths who get fucking weird about this sort of shit lol

Latin catholic ultras who hate the Pope can all be found in a small town in the Brazilian State of Paraná.

This is not a joke. They are there.

Huh, I know a few that say he's a communist and should be replaced for being too friendly on LGBT+ issues. Maybe it's because they're Brazilians though...

Picturing one of them showing up to a church mutual aid thing like feeding the hungry and being pissed off that they're not preaching about the evils of SJWs.

I wish someone told that to Moctezuma

Dude, I always wonder why the fuck it is that American Christians, especially adult converts, are so fucking weird about it. In Brazil and Latin America as a whole you're kind of born Christian by default and pretty much everybody I know in my generation has been baptized as a Catholic as a child, myself included.

Devout Latin American Catholics are some of the most unassuming people you'll ever meet. They'll go to church regularly, pray at home, maybe they'll have some kind of jewelry with a cross, and images of saints at home, but they generally don't talk about it. Evangelicals do have a certain tendency to be more annoying and vocal at times, but still, most of them are chill about it.

So why the fuck is it that Americans seem to be the only ones discussing the Council of Trent and theological theses and calling themselves tradcath or some other bullshit so often? It's like they have no other social signifiers and are desperately grasping for any sort of identity, so they latch on to the weirdest forms of Christianity and do not shut up about it.
