What's the future of Catholic Church and Satan?

What's the future of Catholic Church and Satan?
Hey Guys,

I'm a Christian myself, although not a Catholic anymore. I'm also a big SF fan. One of my main interests is what will happen with Catholic Church in the future, and I mean like 200 years from now or something like that. Its been around for 2000 years, so we can safely assume, that it'll be around for at least couple hundred more. Will it expand to other planets? Will it change into corporation? Will they use biomechanoids for Popes? Or maybe it will fall? What's your take on this?

And the second question - it feels to me that Satan doesn't really work anymore as a method of fear. The vision of Satan changed couple times during the centuries and I think that Satan needs a new version, quickly, as modern people simply do not believe in a guy with horns. It might be that Vatican's PR division is thinking about his new image the very moment. Let's give them some ideas, will Satan be replaced, and how?


Thank you for all the answers.

Dominik

It will disappear into myth like the rest of Christianity.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Its still one of the most popular religions, so I'm afraid this might take a whileSmile

In case you haven't noticed, the past 100 years were slightly different from the 1900 years before that, so I'm not so confident about your extrapolation...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I would say that every century was different. We had first years of Christianity, then we had expansion, then we had crusades, then colonization, and so on. I think we're on the same spot more or less, as we were in XVI century, when Church was looking for its place. But it was 500 years ago, and somehow - it survived!Smile

Not as long as you might think. The religious nones are the fastest growing category in the US and what is even more marked is the departure of modern Christians from traditional Christian beliefs, ex. Most Christians now except gay marriage. Mind you I think it will little like the mass effect universe where the Vatican is still an organization, much like the monarchy in England, but Christianity is considered mythical like the Viking Gods.

Change into? Methinks you're not fully informed as far as the Catholic Church is concerned.

Also, for your sake, I do hope that most of your remarks were tongue in cheek and not meant to be taken serious.

Welcome.

The xtian church/organized religion will dwindle away into nothingness first, followed by individual belief. Hopefully most if not all existing religions will follow this course. I won't speculate the time frame. I can't speculate on future religions but I believe that some will be invented. The human psyche dearly loves comfort.

They don't need satan to induce fear. Just keep threatening to take away eternal life. To me, that has always been their biggest power play.

What are you kick starting? Are you mainly here for self promotion?
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Well, I guess I don't see religion any different from for example Star Wars famdom. People need to have something to believe in, religion just made a business out of it. And, as I'm capitalist at heart, I strongly believe that if both sides of transaction are happy, then everything is in order. So even though I don't like Catholic Church for many reasons, I'm not angered at them like you guys seem to be. God is a therapy, it was created to help people. You don't need it? Perfectly ok. I do. It helps me not to be a prick.

As for self promotion - I'm here to discuss matters of beliefs, which interests me, to search for ideas to my writing, and to self promote my graphic novel. Is there something wrong about it?

Well, I actually agree on that one - its already a corporation!
