Pope Beelzebub, lord of the flies. Wears the mitre of Dagon. Before I get called an anti-catholic for saying such things, I can say that I was a catholic. I made my decision to leave when I came across stuffp that made sense to be regarding what symbols and practices I witnessed first hand in the catholic church. It’s one thing to see influences in ones religion from other religions from antiquity e.g judaic influences on Christianity. It is another thing to come to the realisation that what you are involved in is a continuation of a religion from antiquity that has hijacked Christianity
“I can say that I was a catholic.”
You can also say, but truthfully, that you are a mental patient.
