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

I've been trying to understand Classical Theist's takes on it, but its very complicated and I can't tell who's correct
or gregorian papal chants
Gregorian Malchants
this orthomonk video is so soothing
an ortholarper sent it to me last night
The orthodox are a little too loose on abortion and divorce for me tbh
i think it varies from church to church but yeah i agree
Libcaths everywhere tho..
True. But they are going directly against the Catholic Church when they hold the beliefs they do as libcaths
Well one catholic postition that might work is basically just saying that history will bear out that these popes / liberals were heretical, and that they'll be anathematized later. However you could argue the sacraments are still valid and they still have jurisdiction insofar as they arent heretical
They meaning the heretic popes, bishops and priests
I feel like the issue with sedes is theres no path to church restoration
there is a war ongoing for the church incase people didnt know
get active in your local czatholic community and start getting involved as the layity
sign up to orgs start conversations
do charity
Yeah I think the best position might just be to say the sacraments / righteous clergy are still fully authorized but the demons just need to be anathematized and purged
He fought the demons, we can too
@NormanLord Can you explain the significance and purpose of the rosary please? I’m just recently trying to begome gadolic as well and I was given one by a member of the church.
The Rosary is an old form of prayer that lots of Catholics do every day using the beads. It has ancient roots in the Davidic Psalter and while it might seem a bit complicated at first its very straightforward.
This is an in depth guide and I'll post a short "how to" one in a second
