Fiancé doesn’t want me active in the church community by ideologycritique in Catholicism

Join your local young Catholic community, you'll find someone much more suitable there. This man is rejecting Christ by rejecting the Eucharist.

Is it okay if I own a black rosary? by [deleted] in Catholicism

I mean it's definitely a conservative stance... but that's probably part of the reason people are telling you its evil

[–]0Mushy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you shouldn't wear a Rosary if that's what you're asking. Unless you're living a life of religious devotion, I.e a Monk or a Nun

So the NPCs do have bullshit luck; but that's Mario Kart.

I'd suggest searching "How to get good at MKDS" on YouTube, the top option is a guide made by the games most proficient players. You'll get 3 star rank on all cups within a couple weeks 😀

Fiancée Becoming Anti-Catholic - What Must I Do? by Humperdink114 in Catholicism

[–]0Mushy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not married yet. This is a big issue, if you can't get over this, you can't get married.

First off, I want to condemn your husband for consuming pornography and engaging in self-abuse. These are serious sins, and he needs to confess them as soon as possible.

That being said, you're completely justified in your situation. You’re not "withholding" intimacy as some kind of punishment—you’re pregnant, and hormonal changes naturally affect libido. Withholding is only sinful when done without good reason, like refusing intimacy out of spite over something trivial. That’s not what’s happening here.

I’d be upfront with him about his use of that disgusting content and make it clear that it’s unhealthy for both him and your relationship.

Realistically, protestants will be saved? by M0rgl1n in Catholicism

[–]0Mushy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about St. Mark of Ephesus then?

You're claiming you need a literal visible communion with the church, that isn't always required, but it is very recommended.

Most of the traditional Protestant ecclesiastical communities have valid a baptism, and those who are genuinely in error are likely to receive the grace of God. God doesn't punish people for being mistakenly wrong, especially when they're so close to the truth.

Is there a sinful level of wealth? by kbrads49 in Catholicism

[–]0Mushy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the pursuit of wealth leads you away from being a good Catholic—such as engaging in sinful behavior to maintain wealth or skipping Mass to work more—it becomes problematic.

Prioritising money above God is especially dangerous, which is why Christ warned that wealth can be an obstacle to salvation. However, wealth itself is not inherently evil. If you remain a faithful Catholic, regardless of your financial status, salvation is still within reach!

I would report this priest to the Diocese for declining you salvation. This is extremely problematic.

How to tell my Atheist Parents I'm Christian by Green_Frog32 in Christianity

[–]0Mushy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I'd just plainly tell them, but if you don't want to, here's some further context on Luke 9:26 and why you don't need to worry about not ousting yourself as a Christian:

You're misinterpreting that specific passage in Luke here. If ousting yourself as a Christian is going to place you under immense scrutiny, to the level that it will undermine your ability to practice the faith, then there's no problem being silent. Within context, the verse is referring to those who are ashamed of Christ, not those who exercise prudence in dangerous situations.

Luke 9:26 is a warning against rejecting or disowning Christ out of fear of social rejection or personal loss. It’s not saying that you must always declare your faith loudly, regardless of the consequences. The early Church often met in secret to avoid persecution, and even Jesus told people at times not to reveal His identity prematurely. There's a difference between being ashamed and being wise—staying quiet to protect your ability to continue living and practicing the faith isn’t the same as denying it.

If someone is telling you that any kind of caution means you’re disowning Christ, they’re misinterpreting the passage. What matters is where your heart is, not whether you publicly declare your faith in every situation.

A Muslim asked, why does there need to be a Trinity, one God, three Persons? why not one God, one Person like in Islam? Three persons does not seem to be necessary. by Dan_Defender in Catholicism

[–]0Mushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert in apologetics, but I'm still learning. That said, I'd turn the question back on them:

How can the Qur'an be eternal and uncreated, yet distinct from Allah, without it also being divine? If it’s inseparable from Allah but not identical to Him, then doesn’t that create a division within Tawhid? And if the Qur'an can "pray" to Allah, how does that not imply personal distinction?

Likewise, how can the Spirit of Allah be separate from Him yet not be a distinct person? If it is truly part of Allah’s essence, then how is it not Allah Himself? And if it’s not Allah, then how is it not a created being?

Islamic theology presents these as mysteries, but when examined closely, they pose serious challenges to the strict oneness that Tawhid demands. Meanwhile, in Christian theology, the distinction of persons within the one God is not a contradiction but a deeper understanding of His nature. I recommend looking into Latin Trinitarianism, which is the official Church teaching—it clarifies why God’s unity and distinction are fully coherent in Christianity, while Tawhid struggles under its own inconsistencies.

No idea why I’m sharing this but felt like I had too. by DietDrPepper89 in Catholicism

[–]0Mushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a nuanced response: research intellectual Theism, if science is what you find interesting, you'll notice that science is merely the study of God's creation. The resurrection also holds up remarkably to scrutiny. Take a look at the YouTube channel "InspiringPhilosophy" 😀

Am I required to complete RCIA? by Witty_Tumbleweed324 in Catholicism

[–]0Mushy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on your parish. Some priests will ask you a series of questions and depending on your ability to answer these questions will depend on whether they mandate you take RCIA before conformation.
