Sometimes churches help, other times they're filled with too many drones. I'm NO expert by any stretch but I'm pretty sure it's simple as that John 3:16 verse. Though I know this is Nick's house and he's Catholic (I'm Protestant) so he may have different input on the topic.
Keep them in your prayers
Pray for each other in this holy week
Chrism Mass in the morning
GO TO MASS
Rosary a day keeps legion at bay
Hey fellas, this is gonna be a brainlet question, but what stuff should I do to return to the Catholic Church?
I haven’t gone to church since early high school and I think that I should embrace my roots and continue the family tradition. But I feel like that I should do more than just going to church.
Confession first then start attending mass. You should look up a Catholic examination of conscience to confess all of the mortal sins before recieving communion
if you are baptised and confirmed that is all you need
Chances are you're going to go for a week then not bother, so just show up
Also check out like 5 jurjes minimum, don't walk into a jurj filled with 56 and never walk into another

What
@Georges_Cross Not the guy you were talking to but I'm in a similar situation. I had first communion and baptism but left before I was confirmed, what should I do?
@Mephisto I would start with confession as stated before and ask the priest at your church about confirmation but it shouldn't stop you from attending mass and recieving communion. Main thing find a good mass traditional masses are the best.
Nice, what are your thoughts on SSPX? @Georges_Cross
SSPX I like their videos on protestants but I am not sure that they are currently in full communion with the church it would be better to attend a normal latin mass if that is what you want. When SSSPX is fully reconciled by the pope you can go for it. @Mephisto
Alright, thanks!
Fellas. Have any of you noticed your thoughts becoming more pure lately? When I daydream about girls now, I dream about meeting her family and asking her father to let me court his daughter.
Also I've noticed that praying when I go to bed has kept me from having impure thoughts because I don't want to taint myself after talking with God
Life is good my guys
@j0hn I think the media is doing a 75 IQ interpretation of what Francis meant. Hell is eternal separation from God. If we exist, we are somewhere in relation to God. If Hell is eternal separation from God, it cannot exist. Hell is the state of nonexistence.
At least that's my 100 IQ hot take on it
If I think about it and do some research I may give a 250 IQ take later
We have been given eternal souls like the angels which cannot be undone you don't stop existing either you are in full communion with God at the end of time or you will be unable to join him and will suffer for eternity. Hell is the sharing in the fate of lucifer.
@BottomoftheNinth no I can't relate
My critique is of semantics. I feel that the media is trying to twist Francis's words to mean something he isn't saying. Like I said it was a hot take while I'm in class. I disagree with the pope on a lot, but he's no dummy. I'm skeptical of the press trying to tell me that the pope says hell isn't real
Its like how the press said Francis said it's ok to be gay, even though he said that homosexuality is not valid for marriage and homosex is a sin, but all people deserve Gods mercy and love if they repent
Basically the pope just said "hey the gays are wrong but no bully plz"
Francis is bad but (((the media))) is evil
I profess that God, the origin and end of all things, can be known with certainty by the natural light of reason from the created world....
...sincerely hold that the doctrine of faith was handed down to us from the apostles through the orthodox Fathers in exactly the same meaning and always in the same purport...
...reject that method of judging and interpreting Sacred Scripture which, departing from the tradition of the Church, the analogy of faith, and the norms of the Apostolic See, embraces the misrepresentations of the rationalists...
...declare that I am completely opposed to the error of the modernists who hold that there is nothing divine in sacred tradition...'
...firmly hold, then, and shall hold to my dying breath the belief of the Fathers in the charism of truth, which certainly is, was, and always will be in the succession of the episcopacy from the apostles. The purpose of this is, then, not that dogma may be tailored according to what seems better and more suited to the culture of each age; rather, that the absolute and immutable truth preached by the apostles from the beginning may never be believed to be different, may never be understood in any other way...
...promise that I shall keep all these articles faithfully, entirely, and sincerely, and guard them inviolate, in no way deviating from them in teaching or in any way in word or in writing...
...Thus I promise, this I swear, so help me God...
