Nah, just like theology

Thanks though!

I literally have the knowledge thanks to my mother

I also have very aggressive Evangelical friends so I gave to know my stuff

My classroom is full of lesbians and atheists

Bruh

so same here

Bruh moment. Tbf with lesbians you probably don't get into the theology of the Eucharist etc lol

nigga I got the point where I agree w/ St. Chrysostom fully

abominations that commit one of the worst sins that brings hell to Earth before the time

Sins that cry out to God for vengeance

Idolatry of one's own flesh

God has abandoned these people and this is why things are backwards to them

Always loved that that's an official category of sin defined by the church. Idk how Fr. Martin rationalizes that one lmao

But then again, as St. Chrysostom says, if God abandoned them they lived a life of evil

Paul says something like that in Romans 1

But tbf porn isn't much better, even straight

Still idolatry of the flesh

Oh definitely, it takes away the dignity of he who watches it and whoever practices ir

I know gay niggas are a special category of fucked up but I still struggle with purity so I try to be somewhat chill

And yes, you're right, in fact St. Chrysostom's stance on faggots is a comment on the epistle to the Romans

The problem is all of society is pretty "gay" at this point

Yes, I get you, I also get you with our Earthly desires

I had to come to a point where I realised I had become very decadent to get myself back up

Fuck tha flesh essentially

And even now the abyss still calls

But we ought to be better than that

Strive for virtue

Yeah. I thought I was doing quite well but I moved to the degenerate capital of the country recently and it's been hard.

For what is without virtue lacks beauty, and is by definition, an abomination

But I guess that's good for humility

We also get bombarded with things like that, society is extremely hypersexualized

I had a nun recommend the best orthodox church nearby and even there it's all but clown liturgy

Lowercase o orthodox, as in they follow church teaching

They literally clap after every Mass

I call it the Jeb Bush liturgy

I have no traditional parishes in my city

Thankfully I found an FSSP parish downtown, it's a long drive but it is beyond worth it.

I had never been to a latin high Mass before and it is the most beautiful thing I had ever seen

However I try to stick to tradition, like being kneeled during the entire Consecration and kneeling when taking Communion
