I'll pray for you, and the other Christians in Pakistan, that they don't come after you.
They didn't kill anyone
yet
just destroyed the place of worship of Ahmadiyyas
Christians here live better than in India though
Is that because of condition of life or is persecution worse in India?
conditions of life aren't really better here for anyone
most Christians are poor because they are of low caste but yeah
persecution is worse in India
Hindus are more violent than Muslims ngl
I did not know that. I'll pray for them, as well.
99% of attacks on Christians here in Pakistan were by foreign militants though
like Tehreek-E-Taliban
Doing God's work in the most autistic way possible
David, can i use that image?
Yes
Thank you on behalf of Catholic Meme Squad
Damn I'm here, just relaxing and you guys are there doing the hard work
This isn't right >:/
Very secret preview
That's some hard work right there.
I do every day on kik
Talking to sedevaticanists is tough. I'm becoming convinced it is a tool of evil
Anything that fragments the Church into squabbling splinters is a tool of evil. The Devil has influence over a great deal.
I used to do it on that app "bottled"
But then they banned me for some reason and never responded my emails
Niggas... and others...
I'm down for that sort of thing
Hey /relics/, I'm looking for help. You see, I'm not even baptised yet, but want to enter christendom possibly till the end of this summer. Problem is, as far as I know there is no way one could get baptized without godparents, and I have zero candidates for that. There's literally no one in my whole family that is worthy of such a title, not because I'm proud, but because they are all a) prots (I like them the most tbh) b) or godless liberals, who although may be catholic, but has only taken up Christianity because it became a trend in their school at the time.
Another guess was the cousin of my girlfriend, but she's only 3 years older than me, but has a very pure heart. I'm afraid it would come out as awkward though.
Anyone in a similar situation? Any advices? Should I seek the advice of my local priest?
You most definetly should talk to your local priest
I take it you atend mass already and is seeking to regularize yourself?
A couple friends of mine were godparents to a girl who was the same age. But yes, talk to the priest.
Actually I don't, I've been putting it off for a few weeks now, but I'm ready to attend mass regularly. I guess that should be the first step.
So can I just talk to the priest after the mass on Sunday regarding my issue? Or how do things like this go?
Sorry for being so ignorant, but I never received religious upbringing. I have only attended like 4 masses in my life aside from wedding masses.
according to a quick google it's not necessary for Godparents if you are an adult
though obviously speak to a priest to get an actual, weighted opinion on the matter
Just go talk to the priest after Mass. He should be happy to discuss everything with you.
OK, thanks for your insight, I appreciate it :)
@GenkiDaman I’m guessing you’re an adult? Myself, my parish priest and a few members of my parish were chatting over lunch last Sunday about someone who reached out to a friend of mine. This person wished to be received into the church in the traditional rites. Father stated that without a firm commitment to the Catholic faith and regular (read: meet your obligation ie Sunday’s and holy days of obligation) there would be absolutely no point. He commented that the church nowadays seems to baptise & confirm more ‘lapsed Catholics’ than ‘Catholics’ as many who are baptised and confirmed are hardly seen again at mass. This is especially true in parochial sacraments of initiation classes in systemic catholic schools in Australia (my country). 95% of the kids confirmed are never seen again at Mass. We need those who believe in the faith and who hold fast to its precepts (Mass attendance on Holy Days of Obligation is a precept of the Church), as they are the future of the Church. You will probably be required to undergo catechesis prior to reception. I will pray for you along your journey into the Catholic faith
