Hey now, I think the Gnostics are fine people (not to mention the real ones all got wiped out a long time ago and all we have now are basically larps).
Why do you seek to defend some mythical “true catholicism”? Can’t you see that from its inception, the Catholic Church has been a tool of control? If anything Jesus was a fuck load more gnostic than he was catholic.
Have you ever read the gospel of Thomas? Nothing BUT quotes from Jesus. Check it out.
In the sense that it is true knowledge that has passed through fewer censoring bodies and telephone game translations, I do rank the gospel of Thomas, along with other apocryphal works as more reliable than the works we have today in the canon.
I think that if anything, the modern Catholic Church (leadership) knows that Gnosticism is the truth, and they infact worship the demiurge.
To be honest, I’m not sure what a dogmatic gnostic believe about reincarnation, but I’ve always been partial to the theory in the short story The Egghttp://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
Something between that and the “group souls” discussed in the Ra Material
I feel so bad for the people who can’t see beyond the bars of their prison cell. Imagine being a “devout catholic” and rationalizing this shit to yourself.
