it was a link to the reading list and it was on a very subtle comment thread lol

thanks and no worries lol

idk if i can ask this in general chat but is there a texas chapter?

i found it on a thread a few weeks ago idk if i could find it again. It was just a discussion over reading though

someone linked the reading list and i had been curiously looking at it before i noticed there was a discord lol

i think that Legio Christi would be allowed on /r/traditionalcatholics though? if you havent advertised there

they are nice people

Reddit has gone down hill over the past few years. I got my first account banned on the Texas subreddit during the midterms because I downvoted too many beto articles

the moderators over there will censor everything they dont like

but /r/traditionalcatholics is nice.. /r/catholicism has a vocal minority of liberals but they are a bit older than i am i think, i just turned eighteen

very cool, yeah, but the admins have taken away a lot of different ""alt right"" and ""offensive"" subreddits the past few years especially. I can't believe how much things have escalated honestly

any new accounts will be subscribed to the default subreddits so just be sure to delete those

thanks i'll try lol

idk is there like a spectrum? I am a practicing Catholic

tridentine mass and all that but the nearest one is an hour away heh

i personally dont think they should be running for office at all but i'm not gonna tell that to everyone who i meet you know what i mean?

it is really nice to be around people who hold what should be considered normal views

lmfao

ted cruz has a very nice beard too, he really worked on his image after the last presidential election

trump identifies as a republican, obviously, which that party is most in line with Christian views.. but is controlled by Israel. I would especially skeptical about all of these things when congress passed the $38 billion aid package for them

WAT

idk wasnt there like 12 billion of them killed in the holocaust

wait 14 billion

yeah I know, and I do need to go to confession. idk i just have a certain resentment toward them just because there are a lot that went to my high school

i'm in a suburb outside of dallas and quite frankly christians are the minority here

there is a mosque down the street

What state do you live in?

ahhh kk. yeah there are a lot of muslims here honestly. i dont mean to make anyone's blood boil but there is literally a muslim family i know that has had 13 kids here

yeah

are there a lot of whites in Tennessee?

tbh Texas could turn blue in the 2020 election.. there are lots of people from california moving here. also people from india/southeast asia in general

is trump actually doing anything to stop the flood of migrants though?

But what other candidate do we have though for next year

ya he will most likely be reelected

wtf lol

It's been really weird these past few years. I remember reading about all of the migration from Africa to Europe when I was kid and now it actually happened, and we're starting to see the consequences of it in places like Germany and the UK. When were normal Christian views considered to be extreme in the eyes of society?

It's tough finding a girl who is sensible and will support me being Catholic.

I am very optimistic for college haha

And I've tried to explain that to my family, but they sometimes see me as sexist. But it's just that, each gender has different roles in the world. Or in a family unit. Mother and father

like for example, stating that girls cannot be altar servers

my father and brother and I are conservstives, but I am the only practicing Christian. My mother is a Republican/moderate and my sister is just liberal

atheist too

heh yeah me too

my father and brother are. its just really my sister and mother have a hard time

yeah i know exactly what you mean

yeah they dont believe in hell

so they think there are naturally no consequences for their actions, or that they can just ask jesus for forgiveness for any sin and they will go to heaven

idk it is mental gymnastics they do

tfw your sisters husband is transgender

female to male

so i guess technically wife lol

wat i dint think so lmao

wtf?

LOP

LOL

idk. also my sisters husband also considers himself to be a christian

right lmao im so used to the pronouns and shit. even though they have completely opposite views than everyone in the house my parents still insist on inviting them over and stuff because they are family

ok

oh shit lol.

yeah my sisters partner had like all of her testosterone hormones and shit in the bathroom when they were stsying over. she didnt have surgery or whatever because it was too expensive though

it is unnatural

I am the only one that keeps the faith in the entire household. my grandmother is very catholic too but she lives eight hours away

:(

what is this world coming to

had to be put on acutane to get rid of my acne - or at least a medicine close to it

but my face is entirely clear now and consistently has been for years haha

sleep on fresh towels

for pillows i mesn

think it was like some steroids, something strong to get rid of it obviously

cold, warm or hot showers?

For an accurate/Catholic translation I would use the Douay-Rheims or the RSV-2CE Bible. I have never picked up an NRSV myself, the reason for that being that it in fact has "inclusive language" in it that can make people easily confused.

For example:

Matthew 4:19 RSV

And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

NRSV

And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.”

@Inky

You can find either bible online for free, at least the Douay-Rheims for sure.

Gonna visit my grandparents in another city this week and I'll be going to my first latin mass. Any tips? Do they provide hand-missals or does it depend on the parish...?

wat is that

vk?

IDK

Visited Corpus Christi Cathedral today. Pictures of some of the stained glass windows there depicting saints and some events

downtown Corpus Christi Texas. It's about an 80 year old cathedral

there is the USS Lexington stationed here which served in WWII, but it is primarily used as a way to attraxt tourists. It is decomissioned obviously

not a whole lot of military here ahaha my grandparents have lived here all their lives and i was partially raised here

internet is bad atm heh but here are more pictures for the curious

@GodFearingEnglishman I tried finding a latin mass to attend here.. checked several listings but the only church that does it I cannot attend on Sunday unfortunately

surprisingly that only one parish offered it for only one time (2:30) on sunday especially because there are several churches here

I have only attended novus ordo

I understand, I'm just very curious about it. It's the same mass that has nourished the faith of millions of Catholics across the world

amazing

how many people go on the server regularly? is it just vanilla minecraft?

i'm just starting to cut again this week too, i've been trying to run and lift again since last june. A few things that I have found helps me is intermittent fasting (I havent done it too much because I am still growing).. just dont eat any meals after 5 pm and try to wait in the morning to eat depending on what time you work out at

the slower you cut the more muscle you will retain but you will obviously lose strength when you get leaner, unless you're super chubby like me lol

Do you want some /fit/ guides in <#435529095166689310> or just here?
