vs this

or

My church is still epic tho

They painted it white but it still looks good

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

I hate seeing people in tracksuits at church

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

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

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

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

Which is why we will convert the youth through minecraft

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

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

i havent played minecraft in years but it would be epic

i do do that to a certain extent

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

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

What are some good books for understanding catholicism

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.

Then there's this list

Hows lord of the rings catholic

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

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

But I personally wouldn't put it there

Need to get a new bible

All i had is a prod one i got in school

get the douay rheims (trad) or nrsv catholic edition (smooth reading)

I have KJV from my mom who grew up Protestant

I need to get DR at some point

I read the NABRE which is apparently filled with heretical stuff but it was easy so it made for smooth reading

New American?

Ye ill probably go to a catholic shop and see what they have

I got that one in Catholic school with my communion
