Well, you still have an obligation to attend Mass every Sunday.

2019-07-10 00:48:23 UTC  

Grin and bear it, but also make an effort to go to parish socials. Increase your presence, and do not be afraid to introduce people to more orthodox teachings.

2019-07-10 00:50:05 UTC  

If I may ask, how old are you?

2019-07-10 01:19:30 UTC  

I’m 30, and regrettably I’m a wahmen, so I don’t feel like I do have (or should) have any pull in the church.

2019-07-10 01:20:17 UTC  

And the parish is chock full of boomers and I don’t feel any connection to anyone around me

2019-07-10 01:25:41 UTC  

that sucks a lot

2019-07-10 01:32:53 UTC  

Perhaps move?

2019-07-10 01:39:48 UTC  

Any good movie suggestions for me t watch?

2019-07-10 01:40:31 UTC  

fun fact: in Chapter 1 of the collection of texts from II Vatican Council it specifically says _"The Church is not constituted for the glory of this world"_

2019-07-10 01:40:47 UTC  

yet we have abominations like fr. James Martin preaching otherwise

2019-07-10 03:59:21 UTC  

fuks sake bigga

2019-07-10 03:59:38 UTC  

I feel like tvs just getting even worse than it already was, which isn't an easy feat.

2019-07-10 04:48:42 UTC  

@smugpanda any Masses there in a different language? At least you wouldn't have to hear the homily then

2019-07-10 06:20:26 UTC  

Gift him a copy of all of Viganos declarations

2019-07-10 12:43:46 UTC  

Connive a man into expressing your view

2019-07-10 17:28:01 UTC  

This is insane

2019-07-10 17:42:36 UTC  

yo m8s, a friend of mine is asking me for help on an issue i ain't an expert on

2019-07-10 17:43:26 UTC  

What issue?

2019-07-10 17:45:01 UTC  

his brain and soul are rotten from years upon years of uninterrupted porn consumption and he wants out

2019-07-10 17:45:45 UTC  

problem is, his force of will has been completely drained by his addiction and cannot stop comitting that act for more than 2 days straight

2019-07-10 17:46:44 UTC  

Yes he can.

2019-07-10 17:46:51 UTC  

He doesn't want to change yet.

2019-07-10 17:46:56 UTC  

im tryna tell him

2019-07-10 17:47:10 UTC  

but just telling him "don't do it" doesn't seem to have an effect

2019-07-10 17:47:23 UTC  

A couple of ways to end addictions.

2019-07-10 17:47:36 UTC  

Have him do 1 day.

2019-07-10 17:47:39 UTC  

Then 2.

2019-07-10 17:47:43 UTC  

Then 4.

2019-07-10 17:47:45 UTC  

Etc.

2019-07-10 17:48:03 UTC  

well that might work

2019-07-10 17:48:08 UTC  

Alternati8vely, have him choose a date.

2019-07-10 17:48:09 UTC  

Any date.

2019-07-10 17:48:22 UTC  

Tomorrow, next months, next year, whatever.

2019-07-10 17:48:35 UTC  

That's the day he has to stop.

2019-07-10 17:48:46 UTC  

I mean, I don't know how motivated he really is.

2019-07-10 17:48:49 UTC  

You can't really expect him to become an monolith of willpower and turn into an Übermensch overnight. Small steps.

2019-07-10 17:49:02 UTC  

Smh.

2019-07-10 17:49:06 UTC  

oh so it ain't all in one go

2019-07-10 17:49:11 UTC  

aight, small steps

2019-07-10 17:49:33 UTC  

thanks bruvs
