@Deleted User Alright. If you ever want to know more about Orthodoxy, don't let the bitterness from those inside or outside of it sway your opinion too much. Religion is naturally a touchy subject.
I can link you some people worth watching or servers worth joining.
One thing we have in common between us Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians is St. Benedict
Reason I say that is because he's one of my favorites
St. Benedict is pretty cool. My priest took that name.
I took Saint Peter's name when i was confirmed
I’m likely taking St. Silouan the Athonite.
Do you guys think once Carlo is cannonized he'll be the patron saint of gamers?
Who?
Carlo Acutis. Young Catholic boy who died from leukemia in '06 and was beatified recently
How is he a gamer
Wow thats really sad to hear
Hope he's with God now
Goodness guys
My parents think that watching the mass on tv is valid
And when I said, "its not actually the mass happening right now in our home, thats not possible" they told me that Im telling them that they are going to hell for doing so 🤦♀️
Boomers are fucking stupid
Obviously its a good thing that we watch the mass on television, but to say it is a legitimate form of mass is false
I mean, I'd say that it's better than nothing, no?
It is better than nothing, but to say it is legitimate is false
Its not possible
you can't receive through a TV screen
Exactly
And my parents have the audacity to tell me that when I said what I said to them that I meant that they are going to hell for not going to church
This is just ignorance
They wont even let me finish explaining to them that the mass isnt something you can just watch on TV
They just keep telling me, "stop being disobedient!"
> you can't receive through a TV screen
@Vincentius you're also not joined with the whole body of Christ by watching it on tv as you are when you attend mass
sounds like pride on their part. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, in section 2180, specifies that the Sunday obligation is satisfied by ‘assistance’ at Mass. if they're able to attend a church or oratory they must do so
I will be attending whatever outdoor or socially distanced mass from now on by myself. After I go to confession of course
indoor mass is closed by you?
Our archbishop's orders, not the government
What I find quite funny is the mass is "BYOC" which means bring you're own chair
As it is outdoors, and we cannot take the pews outside
However there is an indoor mass near me as well, that I believe is still in operation so I could attend that one
how's that going to survive in the winter?
Not sure, but at least its valid
How's your archbishop?
based, nothing has been shut down and most people at my parish don't even wear masks
Nice
