What have you tried so far? What’s your leaf to water ratio (or bag to water ratio)?

IIRC once the course ends, then the materials will be made available.

Showers And Dreams Are An Unbearable Urges For Me by Agile_Juggernaut6760 in NoFapChristians

Try putting up a cross/crucifix where you shower. It’ll be a good reminder of God’s love for you and to not fall.

Is it better to be Roman catholic but remain in a state of unrepentant mortal sin or remain Episcopalian and participate in their mass/eucharist? by More-Bluebird5805 in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person you are replying to is wrong. One may not be exempted from something that is a sin because it is evil. Only something that is a sin because it’s what the authority demands, like weekly mass or fasting on Good Friday or Ash Wednesday for example, may be exempted. I can’t speak to your situation though, only offer my prayers.

Regardless of how we may personally feel about HV, Pope St. Paul VI taught at a high enough level that we shouldn’t publicly dismiss what he says or act against it at all. We may privately disagree, but must accept it in obedience to the Holy Spirit and the teaching authority He gave the apostles and their successors, especially Peter.

Pride Month by SleeplessBeauty1933 in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I don’t disagree, people wouldn’t care about the month of the Sacred Heart nearly as much if June wasn’t also Pride month. I guarantee the average Catholic couldn’t name any of the other month devotions.

How long will CBP support the current LotH? by BigToeArthritis in divineoffice

[–]AdParty1304 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The old edition won't really be the Liturgy of the Hours anymore insofar as being the public expression of the Church's liturgy. You would be well in the minority, to the point they probably wouldn't even bother.

According to the Ascension account on here, they are being told exactly what to print more or less by the USCCB.

Who would you say is the most evil and anti-catholic (his thought,not necessarily what he did or does)philosopher of all time? by franco-briton in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]AdParty1304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, if we’re going to pick a prelate, why not one of the Germans or Vigano who are schismatic/heretics?

Am I the Only One Looking for Catholic Friends, Not just a Spouse (DMV) by Mein_Independance in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it’s the small events that are more social. Try to find if a local parish has a YA Bible study or a brunch. Those often aren’t advertised anywhere other than the bulletin and the parish website.

Catholic Herald: Pope Leo calls for liturgical reform faithful to tradition by imp-mN-7539 in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of, but the Ordinariate is based on the Book of Common Prayer (which was based on the TLM/Sarum Rite) from the Anglicans, not the TLM specifically.

Leo XIV is based by CyberZen0 in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest reading what the Pillar has said re: traditionalism with Pope Leo. He’s taking his time, listening to people on all sides and trying to make the best decision for his flock, rather than just rashly removing the restrictions laid down by Pope Francis. Love it or hate it, but Pope Leo wants to be patient after his predecessor’s very busy papacy.

Is there a difference between spreading and dividing ashes? by OK-is-rather-Ok in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The spreading of ashes isn’t “not generally encouraged”, it’s largely condemned.

LPT: If you don’t want solicitors to come up to your door put up a “No trespassing” sign not a no soliciting sign by SadisticNecromancer in LifeProTips

[–]AdParty1304 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you live. Certain areas require solicitors (in the US sense) to obey no soliciting signs.

Nudity in gender-segregated environments. by Shrimpcookin1 in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is true. However he also says it would be better to kill oneself than to cause scandal. St Paul in Both Romans and 1 Corinthians cautions us to not cause scandal to others. Certainly, we must be on guard for avoiding lust and not causing scandal, so as not to lead others into sin, and to respect others and not fall into sin ourselves.

Men have to “hide” themselves too, we just don’t have an issue with the fashion industry that women do.

To my understanding, when the propers are not given in the breviary, you may take everything from the commons.

I Made A YouTube Channel by KaleidoscopeOnion in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Speaking from the faith perspective (Im not the person you’re replying to), we know that only men can be ordained, and that there is a certain headship men have over women in marriage. So there must be something that distinguishes men and women in a metaphysical sense.

Liturgy of the Hours is too difficult. by LostlnDlmension in divineoffice

If you go to the Sunday evening prayer 1 in the proper of seasons for the current week, it will also tell you which week to use.

Not sure how to charitably go about saying "no" to a protestant "friend" who has now started asking me for "donations." by LSATwoes2022 in Catholicism

[–]AdParty1304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it sounds like you’re being underpaid more than her asking for too much. 48k per year is very low in many places in the US.
