@reniaofkhemia: The Catholic Church replaced Christ's message of inner union with hierarchy, guilt, and control. They recreated the very structures he was trying to overthrow. Here are 6 ways Catholicism hides the truth about what Jesus really taught - a direct path to God, through radical love, transformation, and divine remembrance. Oh and before you say Jesus ordered Peter to build the Catholic Church... Jesus said, "Upon this rock I will build my church" (Matthew 16:18), but the word He used was "ekklesia", which means a spiritual assembly or called-out community, not a religious institution and a Pope. He never said, "Build the Vatican." The "rock" was Peter's revelation of Christ, his ministry, not the beginning of an empire that would go on to gatekeep God and slaughter millions in His name. And before you argue the feminine wasn't oppressed because Mother Mary is honored... Worshipping Mother Mary isn't the same as empowering women. Venerating a "pure virgin mother" while silencing female apostles and teachers, forbidding women to preach, and excluding them from leadership isn't empowerment, it's tokenism. Christ uplifted women as real human disciples, not just as symbols of purity. Metanoia 🙏🏻🌹 #catholictiktok #MaryMagdalene #CatholicChurch #deconstructingreligion #catholicism #priestesspath
