@Sam Southern - TN @ECorp Rites of Christian Initiation of Adults, required for unbaptized adults (called catechumens) and baptized adults (called candidates) who wish to convert to Roman Catholicism

2018-09-18 02:58:47 UTC  

Basically a series of rituals and ceremonies that culminate in the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil

2018-09-18 03:34:29 UTC  

Sounds godly

2018-09-19 07:06:53 UTC  

RCIA for me was meeting with the faith counselor to discuss reading about the catechism, answering any of my questions, and a few rites before baptism and confirmation.
There were scheduled meetings but I regularly had college classes during them so I was a special snowflake.

2018-09-19 07:09:08 UTC  

@ECorp If you're seriously thinking about converting great. I recommend not doing it out of vanity though, only if you're really serious about it. It's a big leap of faith.

2018-09-20 20:04:19 UTC  

@Matt w/ AFM the parish i plan on going to has RCIA stuff scheduled even on days past Oct 1

2018-09-20 20:15:54 UTC  

@ECorp yeah like @Fisherman Joe said RCIA may start around October ends at easter. For example at my parish it's one hour a week every week starting mid october, at least if you are baptized

2018-10-08 19:50:00 UTC  

question to you religious folks

2018-10-08 19:50:11 UTC  

especially any catholics out there

2018-10-08 19:50:32 UTC  

why do catholic priests give thy little boy’s rear salvation

2018-10-08 19:54:21 UTC  

Their priests are rapey, but public school teachers are more rapey per capita

2018-10-08 19:55:42 UTC  

Not sure if that’s a more negative comparison for the school system (more rapey) or the priests (literally why tf are clergy so corruptible by young boys)

2018-10-08 19:56:16 UTC  

It’s the shuffling them around, lying to the public, and pretending the problem ain’t real that’s the more insane problem the Church has

2018-10-08 19:57:20 UTC  

Institutional protection of child rapists is insane, and that’s what the Church has provided for centuries. Hopefully ousting the current Marxist Pope and putting in a goodboi Pope will lead to the eradication of the filth that’s corrupted the Church, but obviously that’s yet to happen

What are christian views on suicide

2018-10-09 18:38:04 UTC  

not based and redpilled

2018-10-09 19:13:14 UTC  

Detail please

2018-10-09 19:21:50 UTC  
2018-10-09 20:14:35 UTC  

I honestly don’t know much about that specific topic, but I do know that the only people in the Bible who have committed suicide (as far as I know) have been pretty bad people. Examples being Zimri, Amibelech, and, most famously, Judas. So I’d imagine suicide is generally frowned upon in the Christian view. Plus it’s technically murder in a non self defensive manner and as far as I know that’s also generally frowned upon in the Bible. Now, self sacrifice for a righteous reason is a whole other thing, but I can’t say in good conscience that suicide is something that God would be okay with. Again, I’m not too familiar with that topic specifically but that’s just my take

2018-10-09 21:58:00 UTC  

@解放兔 the Bible itself is not clear but IMO the best analysis is by St. Augustine in Book 1 of City of God, goes something like this:

a) Suicide is essentially ALWAYS a sin, as taking one's one life is not only an act of unjustified murder but also subverts God's will by appropriating God's judgment.

b) Even if the would-be performer of the suicide is deserving of death, their preference of death over penitence is an act of cowardice. In other words, they would rather die than be held accountable for their sins.

c) Suicide as an alternative to homicide (St. Augustine refers specifically to Christians in besieged cities who choose suicide over torture and execution) is not permissible; in doing so one sins themselves while preventing their would-be killer from committing a mortal sin.

d) St. Augustine contradicts himself with respect to when it is appropriate to commit suicide to avoid dishonor, the distinction seems to be that it's permissible to commit suicide to prevent a sin but not to remedy one

In terms of the epidemic of pederasty in the church, I tend to agree with Archbishop Vigano that it has less to do with chastity and more to do with what he describes as homosexual networks within the Church leadership. According to him and others, the Vatican constantly looks the other way in admitting known homosexuals into seminaries and positions of power within the Church, and Pope Francis is at the very least overtly sympathetic to homosexuality. Even if you are not at all redpilled with respect to the relationship between homosexuality and pederasty, one can expect that priests graduating from seminaries wherein students literally sleep and party with their male peers and teachers would have a difficult time maintaining their chastity afterwards, and that the need for secrecy would push them to victimize those least likely to speak out.
