@Frego liberalism is a sin has some great anti Protestant owns in it

Not to mention how to lay down the (divine) law to "liberal" Catholics

@AlGoreRhythm have you considered Orthodoxy?

@Scooter2000 are you sure about the whole needing to have the excommunication lifted by a bishop thing?
I know other excommunications can be lifted by the priests (given the authority by the bishops) such as those over abortion.
I should just go talk to the priest, but I've been distracted recently so I haven't had a chance

I asked my priest(fssp) about the sin of apostasy and automatic excommunication. Apprently because I hadn't done a public renounciation (joining islam, freemasonry or being a militant athiest are the examples he listed) the absolution I received during confession was enough

@Mephisto No I'm not sure. But having said that I would assume that as is the case with confirmation a priest acting as the Bishops delegate can lift an excommunication. If in fact that is the case.

@Christopher Well that's good but I would slightly question him on that because wouldn't a public declaration of atheism be the same thing?

In such an instance where that was made

Not that you shouldn't trust his judgement but I would be interested in what precisely constitutes apostasy.

I understood it to be a public announcement of leaving the Church.

"screw mass mam I'm playing fortnight instead"

Vs

"I dedicate my life to Masonry"

Hang on that means the founding fathers are all in hell for not denouncing Masonry

Epic

WOOPS

joining the knights

@Scooter2000 I really don't know for sure, I'll ask him about it more later. I told him I saw myself as non-catholic and that all my friends/family and acquaintances saw me as such...

He did ask the bishop and responded with "apparently" this is how it works.

Still not receiving the eucharist anytime soon so I have more than enough time to really look into it

ah

how do i spread gods love without being an annoying holier than thou e-christian

Become gadolig

God's love is annoying to the unfaithful no matter how it's presented

Really need God in my life, how do I start

If you can admit that much then he's already there

Thank you king

Regularly going to Mass, preferably Latin is the basics but really it comes down to the simple things, get a rosary and keep it in your pocket to remind you of your faith when you're weak, get some sort of icon for the house to remind you while you eat etc

All the answers will present themselves to you once you ask for them, at least that's been my experience

Thanks fam, I'll get started. Really want some light in my life. I'm tired of the future being so bleak. I feel like the lord can help me stay strong

You're welcome buddy take it easy

tfw nibbas trying to convert you to Eastern Orthodoxy and other nibbas trying to convert you to Roman Catholicism

Same

I feel more comfortable with Catholicism but the corruption/decline makes me hesitant looking at Orthodoxy's growth and ability to stay traditional

I was really leaning heavy towards Rome before all this latest shit

My issue is I don't know if the sedes are correct or not. If there have actually been contradictions and popes cant be heretics, then how can the current popes be popes

youd have to have some talmudic understanding of it saying that they still have jurisdiction even though theyve excommunicated themselves
