I mean, it’s pretty comparable. Vajrayana Buddhism is one latter sect of Buddhism and the Dalai Llama is its spiritual leader. Catholicism is a latter sect of Christianity that broke off after Nicea as a rebel Orthodox autocephalacy, and the Pope is its spiritual leader. If anything this represents a misconception of Catholicism’s role in Christianity as much as anything else… the numerical majority of Christians are no more Catholic than the numerical majority of Buddhists are Vajrayana.










What’s the provenance here? This feels giftshoppy to me…
