The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops was days ago, what a shame, that should remind us, especially to US catholics to move and organice even more around good bishops across the country to work together to clean this filth.

I missed Mass today because I am not feeling well.
Jonathan Flores
SAD, its allowed if its because sickness
Jeremiah Williams
I’m thinking of converting to Catholicism but I have no intention of doing confession. My kid goes to a catholic school and I don’t want him doing it either. It seems like a pointless humiliation with no benefit to anyone. What does everyone else think? Would it be a dealbreaker if I converted but skipped this part?
Luis Butler
You need education in the sacrament of penance, which sadly you will never get from the current Catholic bishops and priests, who are too busy shoving things up their asses. Most people have a very shallow understanding of it, which turns them away.
All things must come to light, brother. I know its hard to confess, but afterwards yo really feel that things are off your chest. If you try to bury your sins in the darkness, they will only grow.
Jaxon Gomez
Its a dealbreaker, you will stay forever in mortal sin without proper forgive of sins and more, its a sacrament.
its a necesary humiliation, if you have the guts to sin you should have the guts to confess them to Christ throught your priest.
that would make you a heretic but who cares. it's all going to shit. there's a bunch of freemason catholics and they never do confession either
Bentley Morales
pleasure, thanks for making these threads. I am extremely blackpilled about the state of the Church right now, but it feels good that there are some people out there that are still faithful
I'm gonna try fasting today and attend evening mass. I heard the early church used to fast from friday to sunday before taking communion. we should all fast more.
I don’t try to hide my sins and I’m happy to use them as examples when helping others make better choices, so I don’t feel burdened in any way
I recognize the sins I committed in the past and work to be a better person, but seriously I lead a boring life and don’t really have secrets eating away at me. The sins I committed in the past were due to poor judgment and misguidance rather than hell raising. Christ already knows about them because I prayed about them. Life is humiliating enough without someone telling me my religion also demands my humiliation.
I don’t know enough about the details to understand it all, especially as a newcomer. I feel pretty joyful when I go to church but not joyful about the idea of confession. Maybe I will change my mind over time.
Jayden Torres
>but I have no intention of doing confession.
If you for any reason doubt the integrity of your priest to handle your confession, you can confess directly to God. He already knows you , He just wants you to make that step to be honest and Truthful so you can know yourself. You'll know when God forgives you because the demons will no longer have anything to cling on to and torment you about. Do also not forget to Forgive others.
Pic is 3D model replicated from the Shroud of Turin.
going to church is not just about feeling good. if you're too scared to tell somebody your sins then you're not truly repentant of them.
Anthony Miller
also, humble literally means willingness to accept humiliation. be humble.
Julian Hernandez
Trust in God to the restoration of our church, become a proper instrument for him, do action ,organice decente people, join and involve in good traditional movements or other groups.
we need to do our best everything else it's in God's hands.
Ryder Cook
indeed! +10000 lets promote fasting
Bentley Nelson
Luke 14:11 (NIV)
11For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
be charitable towards unformed people, show them the way
Lincoln Rogers
that's against the cathecism
Charles Collins
I am re-reading about it, since I gave advice on it. Morning coffee and Hildegard Von Bingen playing in the background. Meditations on Penance. The Catholic faith is majestic and beautiful.
>humble literally means willingness to accept humiliation.
It's not about accepting humiliation at all, It's about self awareness and accepting that you might not be the center of the universe. > "Having or showing a modest estimate of one's importance"
>James 5:16 Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.

I missed the part where you need to confess to a "priest" who calls himself "father".
Daniel Phillips
Digits gave me the reason lol
Julian White
I converted to Catholicism and it was barely mentioned, we talked about it one time and they said basically that sin isn't like a legal system it's about a relationship with God. We were told to go to confession before we did our first communion but it was on the honor system. The priest also did not seem interested in hearing all of my sins only the ones that were bothering me. The impression I get is that the church does not believe it is easy to commit mortal sin and that people were misunderstanding/misusing the sacrament making it into something negative instead of a positive experience.
you and I have no way of knowing whether a person has committed a mortal sin. God can also forgive mortal sin without confession.
James Brooks
you can still go in the morning and throught the day my friend.
The mayority of priest and parishes are poorly formed and are too relaxed about their duties and doctrine, its a shame. Check the cathecism vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p2s2c2a4.htm on this sacrament if you wanna know it. dont fully trust your priests.
Negative? it wasn't negative, it was purely positive, you are forgiven to make yourself better so you dont sin again.
>God can also forgive mortal sin without confession, that's only under extraordinary circumstances a mortal sin can be remitted through perfect contrition
We display humility in our dealings with people every day. Simply being human and full of emotion with so little understanding leaves us in a constant state of unworthiness and humility. I’m suspicious of any need to further castigate and humiliate Christians, because I believe it has led to it our reluctance to stand firmly and calmly in the face of encroaching attack and social decline. Now is the time for righteousness.
Kayden Gray
no, he's citing his personal interpretation of them which does not match the church's interpretation.
I'm telling you to be righteous. don't take communion until you receive the sacrament of reconciliation, or you'll disrespect the body of christ do you know what the catechism is?
Prove that doesnt match Church's interpretation, i show my sources and my cittings are totally oficial.
there is nothing wrong about reading by yourself the cathecism.
Daniel Powell
>Do also not forget to Forgive others.
This is the bit I am trying to work on at the moment. It will take time to make sure I can do it sincerely. I am at peace with myself and my imperfections. Thank you for your input, your words were wise
Ian Jones
Catholicism = paganism
Aiden King
I don't have to prove anything, you told me to literally to not trust my priest. such a view is obviously against church teaching.
Elijah Howard
Wrong, dont fully trust your priest as priests are not infallible
Andrew Green
do you really think a priest can never be wrong? the priest of my church rails against other priests all the time
If only your paishoners in the states weren't such assholes i'd consider it. People run off at the mouth over religion yet when it comes time to act they act just like any other nigger. Worst part with your kind is they almost always cite their religion, i'm not perfect just forgiven etc. then the nigger behavior continues.
Anthony Martinez
neither are you. the difference here is that I know my priest, his intentions and his character. I can't say the same for you.
Daily Reminder that Brazil is going to be the biggest defender of catholicism of the world :)
Foreign Affairs Minister appointed by Bolsonaro: >I want to help Brazil and the world to free itself from the globalist ideology. Globalism is the economic globalization that started being piloted by cultural Marxism. It's an anti-human and anti-christian system. The faith in Christ means, today, to fight against globalism, which objective is to interrupt the connection between mankind and God, thus making man a slave and God irrelevant. The metapolitical project means, essentially, that we should open ourselves to the presence of God in politics and history." theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/15/brazil-foreign-minister-ernesto-araujo-climate-change-marxist-plot?CMP=share_btn_fb&fbclid=IwAR1wKEXTj53U1sY0oShf7LyRXrN5eFNnLzoqWTZGqj0nK4rXpsYVEuSTlfk
How can I not be repentant of them when they led to unhappiness? Through youth and ignorance I took the wrong path a few times and I definitely wish i had known better.
I don’t disagree. But that doesn’t say there is no humility without confession.
Bentley Allen
I will pray that your effort will give fruits, don't choose his input over the rest because that's what you like.
the truth is hard to swallow.
Connor Morgan
>paganism You guys can't even understand the implications of the Holy Spirit fagets
Joshua Carter
that's why i cite the cathecism it knows better than me , good intentions and character can lead to bad outcomes.
Thats the best political news I have read since Trump got elected.
Lucas Campbell
I moved and the only church that is nearby me is a boomer hole with old hags discussing Coronation Street loudly at the backbench and a guitar mass with tamburines. NOBODY CAN EVEN SING ALONG TO THAT GARBAGE, BUT AT LEAST THE SINGER HAG SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD I'M TIME AND SHE DOESNT MIND. Can't wake up
Owen Stewart
> muh badass
So how's that evil wannabe imago working out for you so far ?
I gave one a shot when I was poor, still the same fuck you i've got mine mentality. There's a reason why many churches here hire private security, the parishoners are assholes.
Dylan Wilson
Dont trust me, trust the cathecism, trust the saints and the Fathers of the Church
Dominic Kelly
but your president its a literal evangelical.
Samuel Miller
I think that is possible that one can be free of mortal sin without going to confession.
Jeremiah Watson
And as you can see it's also Biblical. The whole "you must confess to a priest :)" thing was invented so that the church would have control over their adherents, kinda like the Scientologists do with the "e-meter".
Leo Wilson
pretty dumb move imo. the priest has the ability to forgive you on behalf of god while laymen do not.
in the letter from james he's specifically dressing a priest. they have to confess their sins to one another.
it's possible but it's not probable. god loves a contrite and humble heart.
I was raised Catholic but left the faith and was an atheist/agnostic for about 6 years (I'm 20 now). I've been thinking a lot about what I really believe and I've recently been wanting to go back to church, go to confession, and really just learn as much as I can about the faith so I can be a better Catholic for myself and also my future family. Aside from that, I've been thinking a lot about who I am and what I want out of life. I actually met a girl who fits what I'm looking for damn near perfectly, she's right wing and said herself her main goal in life is to be a good wife and mother. We're going to a Catholic service together tonight. I guess my question, aside from the blogging, is how can I best get back into things and get closer to God in this process?
>making it into something negative instead of a positive experience
This
>don't take communion until you receive the sacrament of reconciliation, or you'll disrespect the body of christ
I appreciate your input, i will definitely give it more thought, and I can’t argue since I know nothing. But on a spiritual level I ain’t feeling it. God sent Jesus down as a normal man to experience all the murkiness of being human. I find it hard to believe that after Jesus became a man, God would somehow feel merely being a flawed human was unclean and some kind of affront
Oliver Jackson
I didn't just make this stuff up, I'm following my own priests teachings too. any sin that you would confess anyway is probably already forgiven, but if you're hiding some sin just because you're afraid of humiliation that is a big problem.
Hello everyone. I'm not sure how to start but I haven't church in about 5 years since my confirmation at 16 and I'm not sure how to start again. Over the years I slowly grown my faith back in the church through Jow Forums but I'm afraid I'll be ostracized for returning. I really want to wholeheartedly into the church and everything it entails since know I understand how important my faith really is to the spiritual wellbeing of my soul. Is there anything I have to do assure my return is as smooth as possible?
Colton Edwards
you should ask this at your local parish instead of online. you will get a bunch of "traditionalists" telling you to only go to latin mass and ignore everything in Vatican II or that the Pope is a heretic.
Eli Thompson
just go to your nearest church, do confession and start receiving communion. there's nothing to it.
No one will ostracise you. Just go back and attend mass, just because you show up doesn’t mean people will talk to you. If anything they’ll be happy you found your way back. Thomas doubted and he’s one of the most famous saints
Ayden Scott
Who are young girls praying for after mass? Not for boyfriend?
