Right.... it's like the stories of so many demon possessed during Christ's ministry on earth

yeah

I think you can be influenced by demons without being fully possesed

absolutely

that is MORE common

yeah

Pornography, abuse, etc...

thats all demonic

it is put into someone's head by someone who hate humanity

you look at all these celebrities with soulless eyes

you know something is going on

and if you don't have the tools to struggle against it people fall

difference between faithful and the unfaithful is that we realize we make mistakes, but we were given confession as a second baptism

we are called to always get back up from our knees

so you have many more successful people out of the Church going folks

it's just good all around....

good for society and one of the biggest reasons the west is going downhill

empty churches

when you have empty churches you get blue haired dengenerates

*snap*

since the 60's there has been this anti christian wave moving through society

and lots of churches fell prey to modernism

we are called to forsake earthly passions and desires, the minute the church softens to be more comfortable it loses its potency

we have trouble at our Church with parents chosing to take their kids to sporting activities before Church

it is really a hard issue to deal with tbh

and not just that....

getting the kids interested....

Oof

I finally found more info

Last month i taught a Sunday School class and I had more adults who came for the class than kids....

how do we get kids to go to church?

that is my question

do you have a weekly youthgroup?

no... we don't have enough people who show up

We put on a BBQ for the kids and got like 3

they won't even come for BBQ 😦

ouch yeah that can be a problem

it's not a huge parish.... 100 people
