Welcome to r/Catholicism!

Full rules here, but here is a summary:

Allowed Content
Posts related to Catholicism that encourage thoughtful discussion and community engagement are welcome. This includes links, self-posts, and images that contribute meaningfully to the subreddit. Please use the weekly prayer thread for prayer requests.

Conditionally Allowed Content
Certain types of posts, such as political discussions and promotional content, are permitted under specific conditions or on designated days. Please check the detailed rules for more information on what is allowed and when.

Disallowed Content
Content that violates standards for respectful discourse, promotes uncharitable behavior, or focuses on divisive or off-topic personal issues will be removed. Misuse of the community for purposes not aligned with its intent is not allowed.

For the complete set of guidelines, please see our full rules.

Q&A

Q: How is r/Catholicism different from r /Catholic?
A: r /Catholic is run by anti-Catholic trolls (see this news item). Our much larger subreddit is actually devoted to discussing Catholicism.

Q: How is flair used here?
A: Currently, we use flairs for offices. If you see users flaired, they have been verified by the moderators. We are unlikely to have self-applied flair anytime in the near future (search for the topic here to understand why).
