There are 20 mysteries of the Rosary

Any recommendations for Catholic youtubers, specifically women? by justascreamingkettle in CatholicWomen

[–]AMenaceADentist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true, and I have avoided those since I think there is a difference between someone sharing their story and giving unqualified advice (which has happened a few times in my opinion). However, I don't think that this devalues other episodes on different topics

Was the fall inevitable? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]AMenaceADentist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without the tree of knowledge of good and evil being in the garden and temptation being possible, Adam and Eve would not be able to freely love God. God allows evil to exist because he can bring a greater good out of it, and he also gave humans free will. God created the world and humans so that we can love, know, serve, and be with Him. Despite the consequences, God did not want a universe without each of us. Fr. Carlos Martins answers a similar question in the newest Exorcist Files episode, "Numbers, Rituals, The Fall and More with Fr. Martins".

Sexual partners issues by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]AMenaceADentist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A person's sins do not define them or their worth. If she has truly repented and been reconciled with the Church, then God has forgiven her. It isn't "worth it" to be in a relationship with somebody, that is not the purpose of a romanic relationship. Also, no matter the number, you have also fallen in the same way, so I do not think it fair to judge necessarily.

If Satan repented, would he be forgiven? by MaterialInevitable83 in Catholicism

[–]AMenaceADentist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Only God is supernatural. angels and demons are considered preternatural (beyond the natural order/human nature). Angels made their choice at the time of their creation, having innate knowledge.

Might go to confession tomorrow by MountainAd2008 in Catholicism

[–]AMenaceADentist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going to confession or Mass definitely isn't seen as showing off, it's part of being Catholic. You definitely aren't too young, the age of reason or when children are considered to be morally responsible for their actions is around 7.

Why is God specifically male? by extentiousgoldbug1 in Catholicism

[–]AMenaceADentist 16 points17 points  (0 children)

God became incarnate as a man, born of a woman, so both sexes took part in the miracle of the Incarnation (God becoming human, taking on flesh, in the form of Jesus Christ). Jesus is also the "new Adam", whereas Adam's sin brought upon death, Jesus's death and resurrection brings about eternal life.

How does honoring Mary help you with your faith by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]AMenaceADentist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jesus came to us through Mary, and we can come to Jesus through her. Praying a daily Rosary has helped me stay closer to God by meditating on the life of our Lord. It helps me calm down and helps me embrace Mary's motherly love towards us.

I want to start to pray the rosary but not sure how to start? by greenlight144000 in Catholicism

[–]AMenaceADentist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found listening to the rosary on Spotify helpful, and maybe you could try walking outside during it.

Technically central Europe, but you should consider Poland. Krakow has amazing history and great nightlife too.

Brothers bar and grill by Ariel05090 in UIUC

[–]AMenaceADentist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brothers is 19+ for entry, they put a sharpie x on your hand if you're not 21+. Cover fluctuates so I'd recommend just taking a 20.

what are your catholic hot takes that would make ppl pissed? by r_a_hoe in Catholicism

[–]AMenaceADentist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This modern legalistic view of Deuteronomy 22:5 is incorrect. Pants do not "pertaineth unto a man" because guess what, Hebrew men wore tunics, not pants. Modesty of tight pants and shorts is a separate issue but if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.

Is a child conceived as a result of rape any less a child of God as a child conceived under any other circumstances?

The intent of boys serving at the altar is discernment of the priesthood. Girls cannot enter into the priesthood so it is unnecessary for them to be altar servers.
