I'm getting more disillusioned with protestantism everyday
but my parents would flip the fuck out if I did
what kind of prot are they
baptist
you could always keep it a secret
And yeah theres no reconciling that haha
yeah but then when I marry a catholic wife it would start to get hard to just keep it a secret
Yeah i guess just break it to them slowly over time
Stephen Anderson is pretty based but besides him baptists are brainlets
any good prot v catholic texts/debates
Leopirate v Nick when
sedevacantist mel gibson gf when
I'd just tell them man @Mephisto
Honesty is the first Catholic virtue
@NormanLord did you mean to ping @AlGoreRhythm
Oh yeah woops on phone atm
baste
And yeah I would recommend to slowly break it to them, like maybe hint at it at first. Not to lie, but moreso to avoid having to deal with an awkward emotional reaction from them
I mean emotional reactions aren't a bad thing
Better they air their grievances early on and clear the air
Christ did make it abundantly clear we would be scourged, whipped and cast out of society for our faith
Yeah I suppose its up to each person to decide how far to take that. I don't really know enough to say what the traditional catholic view would be on it, but from what I've seen while making your life miserable to pronounce the faith to lots of people is admirable, I think a sort of rational balancing of different pressures is wise as well.
You don't need to go martyr yourself somewhere and you don't need to hide your faith completely, so its about finding some sort of virtue in the mean
True, all that being said I do regularly keep my mouth shut about my faith when in public
But with family I'm always honest
I dont even really know what I'm doing in terms of religion, so it hasn't been a problem for me
Yeah it is probably better to just be honest, I just wouldn't do something thats going to cause huge problems that could be avoided if the initial problem was handled more tactfully
If its going to cause huge problems then breaking it slowly wouldn't change that imo
They'll probably be relived he's not an atheist
My family are all extremely anti Catholic since the pedophilia scandals
Like I said its tough call / personal call.
Mine are all just (((non-practicing catholics))) so agnostics essentially
1 Thessalonians 2:14-16
<14> For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own coutrymen, even as they have from the Jews, <15> Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men; <16> Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.
St Mark 9:41
And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
