The Christian Caravan

Now that the media has moved on from its coverage of the impending invasion, I would like to bring up something that was never talked about. The predominant religion of the people. Why do Christians hate Christians?

My answer:
White Christianity is white supremacy.

Besides, most of them are Roman Catholics, you know "Papists." Or something like that.

Back when I was in grad school, one of my professors spoke of the concept of Mariolatry. In my area, years ago, higher-ups the Catholic Church actually came in to stop instances of it among Vietnamese Catholics who had immigrated here.

I haven't heard members of my family talk about it, but I think they'd say Catholics generally worship Mary as a deity if asked.

He's a philosopher that doesn't quite buy into Christianity, but likes him some virgin. A wag once described him as someone who says there is no god, but Mary is his mother.

Above is from my memory. Reality may differ.
