Decline of religion
RE: Decline of religion
(September 22, 2024 at 12:14 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: Catholic Church in Germany is offering free tattoos in order to get someone into the church

The diocese of Osnabrück wants to talk to people and make them curious about the Catholic Church. An unusual event will therefore take place on Saturday in the Johanniskirche in Osnabrück: After a joint service, visitors can have a tattoo stabbed inside. The motto of the day: "When faith gets under your skin."

In order to be tattooed at the tattoo service in Osnabrück, an appointment had to be made in advance. If you got one, you can have a Christian symbol stabbed on the forearm or calf on Saturday.

But spontaneously determined people still had the chance to make short-term appointments. You can choose from motifs such as crosses, a dove of peace or a flame.

At the event you want to talk to the visitors. "Experiences are associated with the tattoos, for example grief or solidarity, that is, life stories. We hope to have a dialogue about this, "explains Martina Kreidler-Kos, head of the pastoral department in the diocese.

But the same thing happened in Austria last year.

Quote:"In God's hands" read several of the tattoos inked during a free-of-charge session over the weekend -- organised by none other than Austria's leading group representing Catholic nuns and monks.

The number of people leaving the Catholic church in Austria has been rising, reaching a record of almost 91,000 people last year.

Quo Vadis said hundreds of believers were keen to attend the first such tattoo session near Vienna's iconic St. Stephen's Cathedral on Saturday.

In the end, the dozens of slots available were allotted in a lottery.

The night before the session, the German tattoo artist, his needles and everyone wanting to get tattooed were blessed in a mass.

Believers could select from a list of intricate Christian motifs, including crosses and fishes.

But not everyone was happy about the initiative, with organisers saying they received hate mail.

Some people believe body art is satanic, despite the practice of tattooing stigmata or tributes to a pilgrimage dating back centuries. Even famous Austrians such as the 19th-century Empress Sisi were tattooed.

"I got the criticism that we've turned the church into a disco. I say: okay, then I'm the DJ," countered Father Sandesh Manuel.

I understand that it would have to be a religious tattoo so if they would have sprung for something like in pic below I might be even tempted:

Small symbols don't cut the mustard.


Just joking. I can pay for my tattoos and I certainly wouldn't like to support international pedophile ring called catholic church.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
