> lust is a strong passion
@Vincentius as a male, I completely understand that. I am still a virgin thankfully, but I have and do fall to the grasp on pornography
I am struggling with it
Please pray for me brothers
And pray for those who I used to call friends and who hate me for standing for what is morally correct
Most importaintly however, pray for the children who's lives are being destroyed by the horrible evil that is pornography. So that they may not suffer what I suffer
Amen to that π
"we" buy the drug, they just sell it
we have to stop buying the drug, but also stop them from selling it
Just stand during Mass like the early Christians. <:gigachad:728847841111441408>

@Indra true π
Itβs what we Orthodox do.
theres plenty of EO parishes with pews in them
disciplinary rules are reformable by church authority
Vatican II be like

Vatican II be like:
Guess we are going to hell
@Vincentius The laity are still encouraged to stand. Most of the time the pews are only used by those who really need them. My own parish is completely open, save for some foldable chairs against a wall for the elderly and disabled to use.
I'm at level 3
Any tips?

@Scaevus#2472 ill be attending an outdoor mass this sunday, ill remember to not bring a chair in reverence
Also like the early christians once did
A good way to get further is prayer and contemplation
heavily recommend to try praying the rosary if possible @KekFromKekistan
word
if you dunno how i have links
gotta get myself a bible first
Nah nah nah that's not how you do it
if you just read the bible you will have a hard time deriving knowledge from it
it's better to start with the Catechism
there's a reason why the bible wasn't put in everyone's hands centuries ago
I'll take your word for it
Thanks man
the Baltimore Catechism was made for the laity(common folk) and should be perfect for you
there are even easier ones like a Brief Catechism for Adults but i think you're clever
> it's better to start with the Catechism
@crowcan'tcaw yes
Please excuse my language
But I just got into an argument with these stupid fucking bitches who said that they are catholic and support abortion
I kept telling them that the church literally states that you cannot be a catholic and pro-abortion, but they kept being like, "oh you're invalidating our beliefs."
You stupid bitch, im literally just restating what the church says
By the church's definition, you are not a catholic
