The Catholic Church only pretends to care about scandals and corruption once exposed, but until it's exposed they cover it up and continue their raping of children and nuns and what have you.

Where does this say he was praying to the dead asking them to do things? What are you even talking about? Remembering the dead and respecting their memory is normal human behavior.

>if it has anything to do with money it’s capitalism
This is like saying if someone is religious they’re abrahamic, complete nonsense

He invokes the dead so that he may obtain the same lot of martyrdom as them. There is no reason for him to invoke them as if they are alive unless
1)He thinks they can hear him
2)Somehow by exegeting OT Texts, he is actually somehow participating in the events narrated.
Either way both refutes you because both shows Hippolytus invoking dead people and regarding them as being present and able to hear them. If he does not have these presuppositions, then we can only ask why did he invoke them?
1. Take me, O Samuel, the heifer brought to Bethlehem, in order to show the king begotten of David, and him who is anointed to be king and priest by the Father.
2. Tell me, O blessed Mary, what that was that was conceived by thee in the womb, and what that was that was born by thee in thy virgin matrix. For it was the first-born Word of God that descended to thee from heaven, and was formed as a first-born man in the womb, in order that the first-born Word of God might be shown to be united with a first-born man.
3. And in the second (form),—to wit, by the prophets, as by Samuel, calling back and delivering the people from the slavery of the aliens. And in the third (form), that in which He was incarnate, taking to Himself humanity from the Virgin, in which character also He saw the city, and wept over it.

Isaiah 65:21-22
>"And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands."

Damn this thread went from a question about practical political debate to the old Catholics aren't real Christians conspiracy. even if it's true, that doesn't make our task of changing people's political actions any easier! rip I sound like a reddit moderator fuck me
Nathaniel Myers
Again non argument. Because generic remembering doesn't regard what is remembered as present. Hippolytus regards those he invokes as present. Hence why he invokes them.
Good job running away

I'm not a protestant. I am of the Church. The one that existed before yours was invented. You protest my Church -- Christ's original church.

no as I point out later in the post I'm specifically referring to the accumulation of capital in individual hands ie private property rights
