"Catholics are not persecuted at all!! Stop with that bullshit, you and your stupid p3do cult!!!", you know the world is not limited to the USA right? You know that other countries exist right?

Since people are starting commenting also on this post, I want to write some more bringing infos about this topics.

To be transparent, I am adding the link to the site I am using, but please remember that this is not the only source on the topic of christian persecutions today. The site is Open Doors and keep in mind that the news include all denominations of Christianity, not only Catholicism.

To start with some straightforward statistics, know that 1 in 7 Christians are persecuted in the world, 1 in 5 Christians in Africa and 2 in 5 in Asia.

The top 10 worst place to live as a christian are:

1 - in Asia: North Korea, (being the worst country for Christians in the world), Yemen, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, China & Maldives

2 - in Africa: Somalia, Lybia, Sudan, Eritrea, Nigeria, Mali, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Morocco & Mauritania

In the top 50 of worst places for Christian we also find three american countries like Cuba, Nicaragua & Mexico and an european one, Türkiye.

Nigeria is still the deadliest country for Christianity, since 3100 of the 4476 Christians killed last year are from Nigeria.

7679 Churches and christian properties were attacked since last year.

You believe important and powerful Hebrews may be there? Possibly. You're very keen, Simon. In fact, the most important and powerful person I know will be there. Yeah? My mother.

Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.

uh yea actually I think a prepubescent child getting exposed to hardcore pornography that rewires his brain chemistry for the rest of his life is basically one of the worst things that could ever be inflicted upon a person; I don’t think one needs to be a licensed psychologist to game that one out, really

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

St. Hilary of Poitiers

Doctor of the Church

315-368

Feast day: January 13 (New), January 14 (Trad)

Patronage: Against rheumatism, snake bites, mothers, awkward children, the sick, Vervio, Italy, LaRochelle, France

Saint Hilary was born into a wealthy, pagan family, and educated in philosophy and rhetoric. He believed people should rise above their desires and live a life of virtue. This leads him to search for truth, where he “read” himself into the faith through the Gospels. There he found the confirmation of the one true God and our purpose of life, eternity. He was elected Bishop after his conversion, only soon to be exiled by the Arians. This gave him time to research and write on the Trinity and the nature of God, refuting the Arian Heresy. He was the first to compose hymns based on Scripture.

i realize that christianity is (understandably) unpopular on tumblr, but one thing i like about being a christian is that i get to believe in a god who used to be a tiny little baby, and when he was a tiny little baby he was still God?

So there was this omnipotent baby.

An omnipotent baby is objectively good shit.
