im mostly interested in learning how to use the programs properly lol

like photoshop or krita or whatever else

if a church organization you belong to asks you to pray for all people, particularly minorities and women, and to pray for "white supremacists" to unlearn their beliefs, and asks you to extend an act of kindness or encouraging words to those minorities who might be emotionally distraught following the recent shootings... do you have to do it?

are you allowed to disagree on certain things? i dont know about other denominations, but id assume the catholics in here are called to do the same thing, but it seems like, judging from this group, many dont.

Short answer yes

There are certain subjects where you cannot disagree and still belong to your denomination, but by and large political issues don't factor into that. There's nothing inherently wrong with extending words of kindness to anyone, or praying for any group of people, but in matters of earthly affairs it's rare even a protestant denomination finds unity, much less Catholics or Orthodox.

Why would anyone want a Josephite marriage?

Also @Lyngblomst Photoshop is easy, you just gotta get in there and use it, if you want to do something specific you just google it. There are tutorials for everything you could think of.

@Wrath what's a Josephite marriage?

Marriage where you don't consummate anything ever

Marriage like Joseph.

C h a s t e

So it's like being a priest or a monk or nun, but you're married

Oof

I think it's dumb

Yeah, I mean, idk how I feel about the vow of chastity being obligatory, but if you're gonna make it why in the hell would you needlessly introduce a whole bundle of temptation to screw with you? Like, pick one and commit

It's simple, Nuns are married to Christ.

Priests in the Roman rite don't marry because it's tradition. One that they brought on themselves for being retards back in the day

and Monks are the same as nuns

There are married priests in the Catholic Church

Why get married if you're not gonna have babies tbh

@SUPER MALE VITALITY™ this church organization is explicitly saying trump is wrong for demonizing immigrants, its explicitly saying "white supremacy" is evil. its not just saying to pray for all people. its clearly picking a side here and saying that i need to pray for that side. but i like being white and i dont really care for most nonwhites if im being honest. so what then

Find a new Church

One that doesn't meddle in politically correct politics

What kind of Church did you go to? @ninjacats

yeah i'd leave if the preist started talking shit about modern politics and find somewhere else

@Wrath its a calvinist church. these people are the same who are renowned in this area for being "backwards" fundamentalists. but if thats true, then what is this politically correct moral stance?

https://www.crcna.org/news-and-views/crcna-statement-regarding-mass-shootings

For one, Calvinism is retarded.

For two, idk nigga find a different Church

many people in this church are the direct descendants of people fleeing tolerance and multiculturalism in the netherlands, and now this...

and?

It's obviously morally bankrupt, like most protestant Churches

If you don't like Catholics, go to an Orthodox Church

calvinists/presbys can be based

but not in this case i suppose

Calvinism in and of itself is dumb as shit though

yes

Protestants in general tbh

@Wrath there are no orthodox churches in my area. and isnt the catholic church just as politcally correct these days?

The Catholic Church has a lot of different Churches within it

Some of the sects are cucked, like the Jesuits
