not catholic
We we're talking about genisis so it really had a prot vibe to it
Should already married people be allowed to become priests? It's better than them being fags. The orthodox do it this say
Roman Catholicism is predominately subverted by the red papacy
BUT I'd rather some non questionable homo leading the sermon
not the semon
Fuggin HOMO
If you want to know where these weird left wing clergy come from I reccomend watching this

Beginning sucked. I should’ve mentioned that. I’m gonna clip the last 20 or so minutes, maybe any better parts
30 minutes in was pretty good
are you asking us for pirated copy of a christian book
@scorch for me it began in prayer and chiefly in praying of the most holy rosary of our blessed mother
i started praying when i did not believe there was a god listening
at first it was little more than a mantra to me and then i noticed some therapeutic effects and of course skeptically dismissed that as psychological entirely
but then i started to learn to pray the words with my mouth while meditating on the mysteries and i kept up this practice and i can only say my mindset changed as I reflected daily on the mysteries of the faith especially on the sorrowful mysteries, the passions of jesus christ our lord
living for 10 years as an atheist i had picked up a lot of sinful habits that i didn't consider sinful or in any way wrong and they began to feel injurious to engage in, that might've been the first sign
I went down the rabbit hole of reading the entire catechism of the catholic church and just praying a lot to god to show me more, the nature of faith, hope and charity, and to lead me closer to his presence in the blessed sacrament
I was dealing with a really terrible anxiety disorder and didn't even want to leave my house let alone go into a church but I worked up the courage to do so after suffering from years of the damage left after a nervous breakdown I had
I didn't much like the first mass I went to in terms of the setting and arrangements and the priest's homily but I absolutely felt something there and it was life changing to me, such that even with what I thought were lame/boring elements, I saw this greater meaning and wanted to return... however I couldn't work up the courage to talk to that priest about my experiences over the last year
on a whim I went to a different parish a couple sundays later after missing a couple masses and the priest's homily there spoke directly to my experience as he touched on atheism and skepticism
by the end of that mass I remember I felt like I was going to faint my knees were wobbling, but completely uncharacteristic of me I went straight up to the priest and just told him my life story in about 90 seconds, I don't know how I found the words and put them together in so short a time but I did
I guess I tell the story here to drive at the point that the holy spirit works through us, god has been seeking us before we were in our mother's womb, he knew us even then... we have to open our hearts to his grace. the church's teaching on faith and reason also helped me to understand this is not just a blind leap of faith
my entire worldview changed and I still don't exactly understand what happened but I've been healed in many ways from what was ailing me and became a completely transformed person and I absolutely believe in god again
it's cliche to say but you really do have to open your heart and ask god for his grace
