As a Catholic, do you believe that premarital sex is immoral?

As a Protestant, do you believe that Marian devotion is a bunch of nonsense? Because my sister is convinced it is.

Is your sister straight? I think there's an element of psychosexual sublimation to a lot of Marian devotion that people who aren't attracted to women sometimes have a harder time seeing the point of. Everyone I know with a really intense Marian devotion is either a straight or bisexual man or a lesbian or bisexual woman.

Not your AMA, but might this be a way that certain folks who don't really know their own sexuality, or deny it, find a way of expressing themselves?

And is this all (both your post and mine) a way of saying that it's similar to the Winona Ryder fandom?

My sister is heterosexual. I don't think she has ever interacted with someone with a really intense Marian devotion. And she seems to have a problem exactly with the "psychosexual sublimation" element, together with standard "muh not in the Bible" Protestant concerns.

Answered in my AMA to avoid derailing this one.

The former is definitely an understandable qualm to have, although it's not always clear to me what alternative people who have it would suggest.

Nah. Since my September 5th bump, this thread has already basically become a nerdfest between me, you and Cath, so I don't really care.

And she seems to have a problem exactly with the "psychosexual sublimation" element, together with standard "muh not in the Bible" Protestant concerns.

I have no idea.
Anyway, now try to picture her conversations about religion with her Muslim boyfriend.

I'm not a Protestant, I was raised atheist and consider myself to be agnostic. Sorry if my question came across as overgeneralizing about Catholics, I was being genuine and am curious as to how young Catholics such as yourself feel on this traditionally important issue.

You should ask someone else, because I am starting identifying again as Catholic only around right now.

This is the most important part of the whole religion.

Uuuh interesting question.

Tuscany is the one I know better, for obvious reasons. I think it is a tough battle between Tuscany, Campania and Sicily right now.

Bold of you to assume I have one!

My take is that he contributed to stir a sense of Italian national identity (good) but in the end he also wreaked much material devastation here, as he did in pretty much all of Europe.

For a more measured and solemn take I suggest you read the poem The Fifth of May by Alessandro Manzoni.

I mean I know you are racist/fascist/etc. but I didn't know discrimination against Southern Italians was also part of your shtick.

You also miss when the American South supported secession, so this is not a surprise.

Me too. Cutting the crypto-Austrian shopkeepers and Milanese day traders loose would have made the rest of il bel paese even more bel.

On this note, opinion of this meme I found a while back?

I had already thought a similar joke some time ago hahahah.

Although realistically it would probably require a world conflict to come true.

Mh strange since you know what Genoa and Sampdoria are. I assume you know only and exclusively Serie A (where Spezia had never been before)?

Well yeah, clubs that have never been in Serie A aren't exactly famous outside of Italy! Sampdoria have a European trophy.
