I haven't, mostly because my family thinks HBO is of the devil, both partially literally and ironically.
I've seen clips on YouTube though.
His speeches...
*wew*
I wish the pope was like that today.
It's a pretty compelling story so far
My favorite part is how they present conservative Catholic beliefs without simply scolding them for being evil. They even make them sound rebellious
👌🏻
one thing i miss about my old church is the organ, they had a giant classical organ, and wow, electronic ones just dont compare
Jacob Rees-Mogg could be a great PM
the revival of Classical British gentleman
@BottomoftheNinth my dad watches that show. Not too into anything that uses religion for artistic or mass appeal. Even simply recording churches seems off to me so seeing them represent the Pope like that just isn’t very interesting
I'm addicted to tummy fellas can y'all pray to put my lust at ease
Gotta question for the catholics here
I'm not actually catholic but interested in the faith and gave up alcohol for Lent with one of my catholic friends
He's saying because the cardinal here has granted dispensation that means I can drink for St Patty's Day and is encouraging it
But I read the news article about it and it seems to be pretty clear that the dispensation is just for eating meat because St Patty's is on Friday
Thoughts?
Well I think hitting the bar is more likely to lead you to other sins so i can't say its virtuous just pray and you will come up with the answer
That is a consideration I've been weighing, absolutely. Far from guaranteed that I'd be responsible and sensible about it, especially after having not drank for a month.
can you guys send me some prayers feeling pretty sick
Hope you feel better soon king
@Polybius From a purely moral perspective, giving up something for lent is voluntary, as in you do not sin if you break it. The dispensation has nothing to do with what you are abstaining from, it's your choice if you want to break it or not.
how do yall reconcile Evola's teachings with Christianity
since he was anti-Christianity and a perennialist
I went to a mass today and it seems more trad than the Sunday ones
@Nicholas István Good to know. I think I'm just going to stick it out though. What's another two weeks?
Just came back from a 5 days retreat in a benedictine monastery. Feeling sanctified and touched by God's grace. I recommend to all young Catholics to do one every time you can. Not only will it help you deal with your problems, the monastic life teaches to detach yourself from all that is superfluous and to focus on what is truly important, praying and working, everyday and with humility.
@francois le francais where can I find a program like that
Mine was in the Abbey of Notre Dame de fontgombault in France. But you should ask your local priest to find one that is not too far from where you live but also one which is the most appropriate for your needs.
Doubt us Americans have such nice things
Here is benedictine one. It was my first retreat so i dont have much experience but for a young guy like me who is unsure about his future it was very fruitful
@francois le francais that sounds incredible
I couldnt recommend it stronger. It really helps you cleanse your mind and soul from all the BS happening ( especially if youre too much invested in politics ) and opens your ears to God's call and the plan that He has prepared specially for you
@sbbu The general rule of thumb for reading someone like Evola is “take what you like and throw out the rest”
@Polybius Good choice, even if it’s not a moral issue it’s still good for our souls to make sacrifices and stick to them as best we can.
@sbbu I've only read Men Among the Ruins, but he seems supportive of Catholicism, for example:
> Christianity has been largely corrected and mitigated in Catholicism through the aggregation and assimilation of principles from various origins (especially Roman and Classical), as can be seen in the theological domain of Thomism, which would be inconceivable without Aristotelianism.
