Thru Christ all is possible. knowing this blessing of courtship now I want to find love.
All sins are forgiven I believe?
not quite
well, the ones that can be forgiven
so, our sins are forgiven by nature of Christs sacrifice on the cross, the effects of which we get through the sacraments
so the guilt of your sins are totally forgiven in Baptism/confession
however, the effects of your sins are not
Even my repeated "impure" offenses?
masturbation?
yup
if you are truly repentant at the time of confession, yes
^
ah understood.
so, the effects of your sins are like: say you killed someone (I know its an extreme example), you can be forgiven totally and all guilt is gone from your soul, but somewhere there is still a family without a dad whose gonna be affected by what you've done forever and you still need to account for that
true
Pretty sure that regarding masturbation it's self harm though
Oh okay right right
that made alot of sense thanks
usually this is partly what we undergo in Purgatory, its burning away the effects of sin on our souls that we didn't quite detach from even though we repented, but also making reparation/suffering the consequences of our effects
but
since the Church has the authority to bind and to loose, under special circumstances we can get indulgences which relieve us from this
so essentially, if you obtain a plenary indulgence, until you commit another sin, you will not go through purgatory if you die
the conditions are, you must be in a state of grace, receive communion on that day, go to confession within 8 days before or after, pray for the Pope's intentions and do whatever action the specific indulgence states
so for example, this Sunday you pray the prayers associated with the Divine Mercy devotion (chaplet etc) or pray an Our Father, Creed and a devout prayer trusting in Jesus' mercy in front of the tabernacle
oh and complete detachment from affection to sin
which is probably the hardest one to do
okay i see now
thank you for clearing that up
this may sound like a stupid question, cause earlier the enemies of the church were brought up, how is freemasonry an enemy to God's Holy Church?
Theres a million different reasons but the essential point as that they are Jews, but not as we have come to identify them. They act in accordance with Jewish principles and are run, and organised by, Jews. They follow Jewish rituals and subvert in accordance with Jewish doctrine
Its Jewish ritualism cloaked in gnosticism so the goys can get involved too

Higher members are also probably invoked with the Occult
And Mary revealed to one of the saints that freemasons aren’t exactly greeted by the angels of God when they die.
gonna be honest, was interested in the masons in the past
but if thats the case then idk
as a kid I was intrigued because I knew nothing about them and they seemed like some sort of edgy secret society
but even my boomeresque catholic mum knew they were evil
id been told by people they're basically a club of rich people who help each other with stuff
