I think its fine

2018-08-30 18:21:21 UTC  

Ask your priest if you arent sure

2018-08-30 18:23:16 UTC  

I think the problem with holding mass in minecraft is that you need a priest to do it right? what priest is going to do it in minecraft

I think making reenactments of the mass in minecraft for evangelization purposes would be chad though. My friend and I were unironically talking about that the other day

2018-08-30 18:23:55 UTC  

Yeah ur probably right

2018-08-30 18:24:30 UTC  

@Polybius yeah feel free, it can seem complicated starting out, but its basically just meditating on different parts of Christ's life using prayers in a certain order. Once you get the order down its easy, it just takes practice

2018-08-30 18:24:47 UTC

2018-08-30 18:26:13 UTC  

some of the vii aesthetics arent even that bad, but the old aesthetics were chad

2018-08-30 18:26:38 UTC  

I hate seeing people in tracksuits at church

2018-08-30 18:27:52 UTC  

Nigga, focus less on holding mass in minecraft and more on dragging people you know to church

2018-08-30 18:28:41 UTC  

My church is wooden and really small so it doesn't look like either of those in the pictures

2018-08-30 18:30:30 UTC  

Its difficult to evangelize to secular liberals though and most of my family is made up of that

2018-08-30 18:31:09 UTC  

its amazing how little gen x catholics know about the religion too, like my mom was raised catholic and didnt know what the trinity was or that Jesus was God

2018-08-30 18:31:19 UTC  

Which is why we will convert the youth through minecraft

2018-08-30 18:31:43 UTC  

yeah dude we could unironically start a massive trad catholic minecraft server

2018-08-30 18:31:49 UTC  

Then bully them. Ridicule them, do what you need to. Jesus called for us to be fishers of men, he never specified the bait

2018-08-30 18:31:56 UTC  

i havent played minecraft in years but it would be epic

2018-08-30 18:32:20 UTC  

i do do that to a certain extent

2018-08-30 18:32:20 UTC  

We cannot be our brother's keeper if we ignore those closest to us

2018-08-30 18:32:35 UTC  

certain people are just lost though and im not going to cast pearls before swine

2018-08-30 18:33:11 UTC  

What are some good books for understanding catholicism

2018-08-30 18:36:27 UTC  

Well for basics I've been using articles on
fisheaters.com
to teach myself stuff. I have a catechism I've been going through as well.
One good one is "This Is The Faith" by Canon Francis Ripley, its kind of basic but its supposedly a good traditional beginners catechism. Then there's the Catechism of the Council of Trent which is the old one thats supposed to be very good. And of course theres the modern Catechism of the Catholic Church which has current stuff in it.
For Catholic Philosophy and theology there's a lot. Augustine and Aquinas are the big two though. GK Chesterton is pretty good for layman's stuff, I read "The Everlasting Man" by him which is a good apologetics book, but its not so much about the catholic church.
I'm going to try to find a good history book as well.

2018-08-30 18:36:43 UTC  

Then there's this list

2018-08-30 18:38:07 UTC  

Hows lord of the rings catholic

2018-08-30 18:38:59 UTC  

I can't remember the argument for it but there is one I heard someone make awhile ago

2018-08-30 18:39:10 UTC  

Tolkien was devout and it's loosely based on catholic teachings

2018-08-30 18:39:26 UTC  

But I personally wouldn't put it there

2018-08-30 18:39:54 UTC  

Need to get a new bible

2018-08-30 18:40:09 UTC  

All i had is a prod one i got in school

2018-08-30 18:40:15 UTC
