Ask a Traditional Catholic

[IATIA]

One can turn the other cheek when being mistreated, when faced with sin it must be driven out.

Would not any reason to turn the other cheek involve some sin?

[Minimalist]

What of turning the other cheek?

There is a difference between venial, grave and mortal matter and can be reacted to with a proportionate response.

Calling someone an unpleasant name would be a venial sin. You might pray as reparation and will ask for forgiveness for yourself and them.

Driving the Christian faith out of Jerusalem as the Muslims attempted is mortal sin and must be met with force to quash it.

I don't know what country you're in, but in America, christians are often aggressive without any persecution at all. In fact being on a level playing field seems to piss them off.

Not very meek of them.

So why were the Conquistadors in South America?

"Castilian law prohibited foreigners and non-Catholics from settling in the New World. However, not all conquistadors were Castilian. Many foreigners hispanicised their names and/or converted to Catholicism to serve the Castilian Crown."

History doesn't support many catholic claims.

I cannot speak for all Christians, but the state of play in America would demand an aggressive response from them. They live in a land where children are going to be indoctrinated into the gay liberal agenda to think sodomic partnerships are equivalent to Holy Matrimony. This is not acceptable, and if they have any moral fiber at all they will oppose it at every turn.

Many of the conquistadors were greedy, but they were accompanied later by priests who brought the true religion to the mesoamerican pagans.

In that light they saved the souls of thousands of people from damnation, they are heroes.

Considering religion wrote the book on indoctrination, it's odd to see you misuse the term here.  Bravo, you caught me off guard.

Gay liberal agenda?  Really?  Such a tired argument.

Supposing for a second that there was a god (there isn't)

1.  Still not meek.
2.  Still violent.
3.  No, not heroes.  Violent, vicious criminals hiding behind an Archaic book that preaches hate, bigotry, and xenophobia.

Gluttony and greed are cardinal sins. Does that mean you should go out and kill all the fat rich folks?

[PiousPaladin]

Indoctrination is very much the right word, there is a gay liberal agenda infecting the west as we were all warned of when the pontiff warned us that the smoke of Satan had entered the Church. It is the work of the Freemasons who have worked for centuries to undermine Christendom, and they will not be successful.

1. Meekness is following Gods will. It is his will we bring the Gospel to every corner of the world.
2. Violence can be just.
3. Yes, heroes. All of America would be in hell had the true religion not been brought there.

Being rich is not a sin, it is how one employs it. When the lord spoke of the camel and needle he was referring to the duty of the rich to use their wealth for Christianity. In the story of the ointment Jesus does not condemn the woman for giving him an expensive ointment treatment instead of selling it.

Wealth is a tool to spread the faith. It may be enjoyed if one fufills all of ones other obligations to the faith.
