"OK, guys listen; when you greet the Cardinal you walk up, say 'Welcome your emanence', bow, and kiss the red jeweled ring on his right middle finger."

Thats what the diciplinarian told us. I barely wanted to serve, much less be looked down upon by the entire pontif guard. Heh, I said "WTF?!" and got yelled at, as well as the detentions and demerits.

i bet it was one of those candy rings too.

That's fucking retarded. Why would you have to kiss some old guy's ring?

Catholicism sucks, imo.

Inf, you go to a Catholic church? or was this a public school?

Infernus · 2004-09-15, 03:45 PM

Catholic School... its a lot better then the alternatives around here... but still very bad. If all goes well I won't be there much longer.

And yes... catholicism sucks the big one... thats why I tend to ignore it...

Any organized religion sucks, once you add bureaucracy to your beliefs its less about the beliefs and more about the control.

In the case of the roman catholic church... its more about the money...

If you control someone you control there wallet.

Edit:

Religion's not something that serves you.

Of course it isn't. You serve it, which means you serve the people in power. Which means they essentially, control your soul, at least in your mind. This is where the problem with organized religion arises, people with that much power can only be trusted to be corrupt. Personal religion can help people, moral compass and provide peace of mind and all that. When it becomes an institution (especially if it doesn't like other religions cooexisting), it becomes a problem.
