My Catholics Brothers and  Sisters in Christ,

Christ has risen, but Pope Francis was called back to him.

Discuss his legacy, and who and what shall be next.

He's been pretty unknown for much of his career and a lot of sources are maintaining that he's a centrist. 

He's orthodox on sexual morality, and advocated against gay and trans stuff down in Peru. 

He was critical of JD Vance's understanding of the ordo armoris, and has pro-immigration views.

He opposed several communist radical groups in Peru. 

He's the guy who advised the pope to remove Bishop Joseph Strickland from his post in Texas. 

He opposes ordination of women deacons.

I suppose all things considered a centrist would be more necessary. Perhaps it is the slow moving of the pendulum in the other direction.

I'm not sure if this is a sincere post or not, as it makes a number of assumptions and fallacies instead of just addressing the central point.

Straw Man Fallacy
Appeal to Emotion
False Dichotomy
Overgeneralization
Assumption of Divine Sadism

However, assuming you do not intend to argue in bad faith, I will attempt to shed some light on the question to provide you with some food for thought. The point will not be to answer the question in its completeness, as the topic has been pondered for millennia. The answer to the question can only begin to be fleshed out when understanding the Christian worldview. Suffering and evil are not signs of God's disdain for humanity; instead, they are a reflection of a fallen world. The Fall was brought about by sin through human free will. Sin disrupts and distorts the communion Man has with God. With sin came death and corruption. So, as humans rebel against God, the world becomes stained and further corrupted by sin instead of uplifted and beautified by divine grace. The Bible explicitly states that God is identified with love in 1 John 4:8. The Bible also tells us in Ezekiel 33:11 that God does not delight in suffering or the condemnation of the wicked, but that He constantly desires that they return to Him. This turning back to God is how we understand repentance. This continual repentance throughout our lives as we deal with our sins purifies the soul a

I'm being all too sincere here; I'm just at the end of my rope and there's only Hell at the end. It's exactly what I deserve and it's where your God will send me to no matter what I do, again because he despises us.  
That said, the apologetics is so, so tiresome. Always pointing to what others say and reading points off a list, but never speaking from the heart and the truth. East, West, never more shall the twain meet, I suppose.

Being on a seedy imageboard, I am sure you can understand why I am hesitant to take your post at face value, especially since you used and continue to use a number of fallacious statements instead of simply asking a question. It appears you have already defined your own truth and are wanting others to justify it. So, I ask, what evidence do you have?

things which encourage men to commit the sin of onan are mortally sinful, so it cannot be encouraged for you to view these things, but know in their completion you'd have the total humiliation of the enemies of god. To this ends, you might be elated, for christ is victorious in the manner than he was victorious when he rose from the dead.

Frieren was fantastic. I was worried at first that it would be another ‘organized religion is bad’ type of show, but I was pleasantly surprised by how respectfully it was handled. The storytelling and worldbuilding were quite engaging.

The way Frieren portrayed demons was great. Ruthless, bloodthirsty, and, above all, deceptive. This goes so far beyond some sort of ‘what if demons were just misunderstood?’. In fact, the demons in Frieren constantly manipulate people into thinking that they are just misunderstood, so they can bring their guards down.

I also quite enjoyed Dungeon Meshi. The story is about an adventurer and his party trekking through a dungeon after being defeated by a dragon, in the hopes that they might recover the adventurer’s little sister, who was eaten by the dragon. After losing to the dragon, they had no resources left, so they have to resort to eating dungeon monsters to stay alive. It starts out light-hearted and a bit silly, but it gets more serious the deeper they get in the dungeon. Though I don’t remember any explicitly religious themes, it does touch on a lot of deep themes (which it often manages to tie back into food), and there’s a great variety of characters who have many interesting interactions.

It’s refreshing to see thoughtful fantasy settings in anime like Dungeon Meshi and Frieren, when there are so many anime these days based around bland isekai tropes.

After going through some ideas in the meta thread, one that I've been considering a lot lately is creating a dedicated, stickied thread that acts as a guide for anything and everything Christianity. This includes different versions of the Bible, texts from Church fathers and scholars, literature, education material, films, TV shows, music, podcasts, everything that would be beneficial to both old and new believers alike. Each of it will be organized in one very large thread for easy browsing. And that's where (You) come in.
If you have something that falls into any category listed above (and then some), post it here.
>If you have a link, post it along with a working archive (VERY important. Once it's on the Internet, it's there forever, until it isn't.). Use a website like https://archive.fo/ to check for and make backups.
>If it's an image, document, or audio/video file, post a link to it and post the file in the thread as well. I will work on getting these archived somewhere like Mega that allows playing them back in the browser. You may download YouTube videos using ytp-dl or through various Invidious instances (https://invidio.us) that allow downloading.

Since this is somewhat the default education thread for this board, I am going to drop this off here. This is the complete 81-lecture course from Wheaton College on The History of Philosophy by Christian philosopher Dr. Arthur F. Holmes. I have not completed the entire course, but it is invaluable, and I find it goes along well if you also read from Frederick Copleston's 9-volume work A History of Philosophy. Provided is a short clip on Hegel and German Idealism.

Some personal tips for evangelizing Jews from my own experience: firstly recognize that the Jews come in a few categories. Jewish atheists are not relevant to this thread, they should be dealt with as any other atheist. Some Jews will view Jesus as a wise rabbi, most who oppose you will view Him as a sorcerer (this should not surprise you as we see much the same division between the unbelieving Jews in the gospels). Some Jews will be more or less informed about their religion and ours, but the ones to watch out for are those (typically orthodox but probably at least conse

>>27285 (OP) 
This is a "last resort" tactic that all opponents of Christianity use, I would even wager Jews use it as well simply because a portion of Christians at least in the United States are dispensationalists and because of that there is this widespread misconception which has been historically debunked that somehow Jews are our "older brothers" so to speak. There is a lot of material out there that debunks these claims solidly, but until it is weaponized into meme form and infographics, it does little to engage in debate, because until you overcome the semantic gaslighting, you won't get anywhere, and are dogpiled from every side. I generally avoid /pol/ Christian threads now, because it is a dogpile, and this fallacious argument will always keep coming up. Here are some videos that might be helpful for making clips and memes. Unfortunately, many still use the term Judaism and Jew interchangeably with Israelite or Hebrew, as is the case in a couple of these videos, even though they still make the distinction from Rabbinic Judaism. However, the videos solidify the case that Christianity is in direct continuity with Israel.

What is Rabbinic Judaism?
