Be SURE,

Im too autistic to buy and get an item blessed by myself

to have at least the benedictine cross blessed by a priest.

Preferably a priest of the Benedictine order.

fuckfuck its cold outside

what temp?

46

its windy though

oh lol

i see

Wind chill in Texas is always a killer.

im just in sweatpants and a tshirt so

i was kinda dying

Carrying around a Christian medallion/crucifix sounds comfy.

About a hundred and thirty years ago when folks were driving a herd down the Chisholm Trail, and entire herd of cattle froze to death in the Texas snow.

lol

F

I mean it was something. People had to dig any survivors out.

The death screams of hundreds of cows wailing in the night.

thats scary

I still need to work up the resolve to go to mass alone.
@Thomas any tips for a former non-dom trying to get into SSPX Catholisism?

Hell I myself am slowly converting from Baptism (whoops). But, from what I've studied, it's best to simply find the closest Latin Mass practicing chapel near you, research the dress code, and go accordingly.

And from what I might be able to discern, there's no resolve needed for such a thing. Only a reverence for the hierarchy which God gave us to uphold.

You'll be welcomed.

I went to the SSPX mass nearest me, it's only a 30 min drive, but I didn't really know what to do with my hands, you know

Like bowing before entering the pews, the hand motion thing,

Well, you could, during one of the less busy week days, go and see the father and ask your questions.

Are Catholic churches usually open during the week?

They hold mass, yes.

For exaple, there's a LAtin Mass church called Mater Dei here in Fort Worth,

their entire schedule goes through the week.

That's interesting

I'll look into trying to speak to someone there

Good.

Last question, do you know the process of conversion to Catholicism?

I know obviously not to partake in the Holy Eucharist yet

But, are there other things I should be aware of as a non-Catholic Christian going to SSPX mass?

Well, obviously be very quiet, and very still. If you intend to take women, they must not speak (at all, like at all literal rule of latin mass) and they must to an extent, be veiled. Not fully, just a gentle cloth covering the top of their heads.

You're (if I'm not mistaken) also expected to learn specific prayers, ideally the Latin ones,

but I think they've shfited that in the last centuries.

ALSO,

this is a personal hypothesis, but, one nonetheless grounded in reality.

If you are to get your Benedictine crucifix blessed, then it would be better for you to do it from a priest (who is) or a member of the Benedictine order as it was entirely exclusively able to be blessed by members of the Benedictine order up until about the sixties or so.

If you can have that, you'll have the genuine article.

Folks say that the origin of the blessing is no longe rimportant,

but I don't believe that.

@Thomas Thanks a ton, man, that really helps!

I'm glad I can provide any insight with the little scrape of knowledge I've gained looking into the issue.

I'll be sure to follow your instruction, and I'll let you know how it goes

It really is a beautiful and holy order.

I'm curious myself.

I always loved the chants.

When I went, the sining with other-wordly

It was beautiful

The Gregorian Chants, everything being in Latin, the women's sining sounded great too

Ever heard Dies Irae?

I also really liked how the (I think) Friar spoke about that lack of spirituality in the modern world, and the dangers of modernism and liberalism

That is ideally what they speak of now as it is the greatest threat of rite and tradition.

Has been these last seventy or so years.

Definitely

Bringing this channel back to anime, pic related

thanks to kt

who's kt?

Our resident "trap"

Not sure what she did to become so hated.

Was always pleasant to me whenever I spoke with it.

"trap" turned woman, turned non-white eoman

Fun fact: rumor from people who worked on the show - if Anno knew it would have been so popular worldwide, he wouldnt have used Christian symbolism so heavily. He did it because Christianity is alien to japs.

t. trap tbh

We don't have to rehash the whole thing, but yeah @🎭🎵 is right

@epic That's interesting

Yeah like 0% of Japan is Christian

I went to a Eva panel about religous symbolism once

I have a deep conflict about the conversion of Japan.

I want them to be happy, and I want them to follow what they truly know, and waht their ancestors have practiced.

But at the same time we're sort've immediately called to bring people to God.

Many of the Shinto stories parrell the bible

"parrell"

You know what he meant, Blaze.

parallel is a bitch of a word anyhow.

lol

Tru

excuse my engrish

But Parrell sounds like Mike Tyson trying to talk to Pharrel Williams about some shit with franchising. *Tho I wus thinking Parrel...*

ROACH IN THE BATHROOM

AND NO HUSBANDO

😢

lol

i think theres like

some kind of insulationn problem in there

they only show up in the bathroom

I'd get some type of roach trap. The ones where you don't have to pick up a nastyass dead shell of a near indestructible shit eating insect.

The ones that close.

i think we just need to close up their hiding spots

on the like sink counter

theres holes on the sides

and they go in there

They're probably already breeding.

for sure

roaches are just a big problem over here

since its so warm and humid they love it

😦

>anime chat slowly devolves into a conversation about a means to successfuly and effectively destroy cockroaches
