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 🙏

"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 😂

It’s 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

People who support abortion are one thing, but what really infuriates me are people who claim to be a part of our church and say abortion is totally fine
