The fundamentally sectarian nature of Catholicism
A former member of the
Legionaries of Christ escaped it and describes it in details as a
very dangerous sect, but he still remains Catholic (in
French).
The following are Catholic sites, seemingly unaware of their
madness and/or unafraid of displaying it

John Vianney Sermons (Cure d'Ars) - sermon on Purgatory

on the Last Judgement, in French, is quite scary ; I don't
know if there is an English version) - more

Faustina's diary, story of her masochist relationship with a sadist ghost claiming to be "Jesus", can be read in different
sites. In this game, the goal for the ghost is to invent and tell her the most insane and ridiculous lies possible to see
how far he can fool her; while the goal for her is to train herself to keep believing these lies at all cost, no matter how
absurd or ridiculous they may be. In spite of its fundamentally tragic, insane and miserable nature, this story (of which
I only read a little part) gave me one of the biggest laughs of my life. Very mixed feelings.
Of course not all Christians are insane, at least not in all topics
I admit that is hard to find, but sometimes I happen to find Christians with a sane way of thinking... at least in some
topics, and apart from how a number of them turn out to deconvert. Here is are rare examples of wise thoughts by
some Christians (we may say, these thoughts are wise rather because they are not really Christian but oppose the
more usual trends of Christianity, but...). I wish so much to see more Christians as relatively wise as this:
"My definition of 'pro-life' ".
