This is exactly my observation. Every now and then there's an Anglo posting on Polish social media asking people questions about some obscure Catholic doctrines and getting offended after they're told that no one there cares. I guess that such people see the number "98% Catholic" on the page for Poland on Wikipedia and conclude that it must be some medieval tradcath white nationalist theocracy.
I am deeply skeptical of all converts to Catholicism and I speculate that the alt-right spaces online painted a picture of conversion as going back to the foundation of the Western civilization, or at least its idealized white nationalist picture.
- jmmcd 7mo ago> Anglo Please, write US-American. These people are not coming from any other place.
- pjc50 7mo agoBritish "anglo-catholics" exist, and are weird in a different way.
- FearNotDaniel 7mo agoYes but Anglo-Catholic doesn’t mean an Anglo who is Catholic. It means an Anglican who is pretending to be Catholic but without acknowledging the pope’s authority.
- guzfip 7mo agoOh no, half of the accounts I see doing this shit end up being British
- sillyfluke 7mo agoThis comment is amusing considering Tony Blair was one of those notable weird politician converts.
