What is italian christianity? Do you mean catholicism?
If you do then, no it doesnt have cult like behaviour. Lots of catholics, lutherans, calvinists, hugenots, zwinglinists and anglicans dont even get near cultish. If they wouldnt tell you, at none of their behaviours would you notice which religion if at all they are a part off. Its not an every day talk topic like with the free churches, prespetarians, mega churches, quakers aso in the US.
The church is getting constantly mocked in media. On good german media that had a focus on it is "Das kleine Arschloch" (the little asshole). Media that mocks church, jesus, or anything religiouse is often banned in america. The catholic church is openly being critisised for their money hording, pedophilia, hiding CSAs and their priests owning CP occasionally.
Churches are empty.
A german joke is: "How do you get rid of your local priest? Show up to church. Gives him a heart attack from someone suddenly being there"
You can not generalise a whole group on a few indiviuals
Edit: Younge people includes gen Z and alpha and now Beta too. Just daying
Too bad in my area of the world on the country side when i tried going around for trick or treating with my little cousins (back then them 6 me 15) they got yelled away and barely any candy. Some people were nice.
My region specificly isnt very nice to each other to begin with
"Hohohoho these young people are so dumb" Repeating exactly what we all collectively hate about boomers and x
This. I also see lots of things feeling like "oooooh these young people!" Also covid would have been gen alpha. Gen Z is mostly in their 20s now
Do you have some more pixels?
Its always infuriating me when people "pick and choose" from religion. Either you take the whole deal or nothing. In this case, the pope, the direkt link and voice of god on earth. If you defy the pope, you defy god and say you know better.
I was raised catholic, and what made me leave was people like that, normal and priests of all levels. No you arent better just because you hold a spiritual position, no your "sinns" arent less evil, no god likes all people no matter their sexuality ethnicity gender identity aso otherwise he, to their own logic, wouldnt have created it!
My favorit joke is "so why did they kill jesus?" He said "be kind to another, help the poor, dont be greedy, love another, and spread love"
Naah im good on fucking him. Aint my type
You didnt think capitalism would upend itself threw the one thing it rewards: greed?
