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

pax is really strange

also no holding hands during Pater Noster

Yeah, you work with what you have. The liturgy is merely the setting for the Eucharist.

But it is painful for me to go to boomer church at this point. It takes every ounce of strength to maintain the proper reverence.

What area do you live that there's not one trad parish?

I know that we don't agree on everything but I just want to say I love you guys. Our love reaches across all denominations., and I can see this manifest in the prayer channel.

@Iakovos remus come talk
