>>23587036Maybe. For many people these days it's just a cultural identity they barely know anything about.
>>23587145Why? I don't think it's a hot take to argue that those who happily live in sin unrepentantly, do not obey the teachings of the Church, and do not strive to live in a Christ-like way probably don't actually truly believe. The story of the adulterous woman ends with "Go and sin no more." Not "Persisting in sin is based, I'm down with however you want to live."
>>23588315I'll absolutely go to hell if Christianity is real. I'm not holier than her at all. I'm just saying that you shouldn't put too much stock in her being a Catholic in any serious capacity if she does not obey the teachings of the Magisterium and spends her evenings giving virtual handjobs for fun.
