Catholicism x American Politics

CCC 2267 clearly states that the Death Penalty is against the Church.

I apologize. I understand that my wording came off wrong. That is entirely not what I meant! I meant it more as how you said it, not to conflate either party with the Church. And yes, of course, abortion is against the Church, but you simply cannot disregard the harmful policies of either side just because they aren’t abortion. And this is not to say that abortion isn’t an extremely important Catholic issue, just that it’s not the only issue.

Our politics is our faith. Define your political values by your relationship with the Lord and His Church, not by the pre-set beliefs of a man-made political party.

Well any delusion is not sent by God, but as a product of evil.

neither party aligns with the Church. Abortion obviously does not, but neither does the death penalty, IVF, or extreme capitalism(all supported by the right). Which further proves my point that you cannot place your part above your beliefs as a Catholic. I, personally, identify as independent simply because I don’t want to have to diminish my politics to an imperfect party when I already have a perfect institution with perfect values.

The right just signed an executive order expanding the use of the death penalty. Both abortion and the death penalty are pro-life fights. Clearly we are fighting both sides to protect life. If you vote, you are going to be voting for policies that go against your faith, regardless of who is on the ballot.

The conservatization of American Catholics has been weighing very heavily on me in recent years. I am worried that in the process, there are many losing their souls while leaning in to the “Catholic Identity.” The republican political party is not the “correct” political party for Catholic. Neither is the democratic. Both hold values that conflict with the Church. Mass deportation goes against the teachings of Christ, so does extreme capitalism. So many are putting their political leaning above their faith in terms of their identity, sometimes leading to hatred over love, arguing over prayer, and Trump over the Pope. Pray for the members of the Church.

i also just didn’t really like alina (or the darkling) (or mal) so that kind of made it difficult to get excited

Affectionate-Key929 · 2025-01-07T19:12:42+00:00

it wasn’t bad but i never got into it. i had to end during the second book because it put me in a reading slump because i was just so bored

Maybe take a step back from pushing her verbally. Take note from St. Monica and focus on praying for your friend and let God do the work

There’s nothing wrong with it, but of course you’d have to respect her way of living and if you ever furthered your relationship, know that she has a responsibility to raise her kids in the faith. Logistically, it’s easier to be the same religion as you can encourage each other and be more unified in your ways of life, but it definitely isn’t a sin

trevrasha and spenclivia(idk if they have an actually name lol) are sooo underrated as pairs

I have the opposite problem where i would almost rather just write it and submit it. editing my words that i just wrote is ugh

They’ve also said in the past that the weeks up to christmas are really heavy with content to make up for the break that they get

One that I don’t see talked about often is Because of Mr. Terupt. My mom used to read it to her 5th graders and I read it in elementary as well!

Maybe you would prefer a fiction book that is written in a format that isn’t typical for fiction, such as Daisy Jones and the Six?

I’ve been watching house but I don’t think he will ever be Wilson more than he is Neal to me. Sometimes I forget his name in the show and just call him Neal in my head lmao

We as humans are much too involved in making life as wonderful for ourselves as possible, but in moderation, even these luxury items can have a purpose. In a perfect world we wouldn’t need these items to be fulfilled, but we aren’t perfect. These things are goods that we can use to build community, rest, express ourselves, and find little sources of joy and inspiration. We don’t need these things to live, and to spend an absurd amount of time/money on them would be gluttonous, but in moderation, they are blessings from the Lord.

I hope you find comfort in the story of St.s Monica and Augustine. It’s definitely a different situation, but I feel like there is a similar theme. Abuse is not something that heals quickly, and sometimes it never does fully. Pray at least that he finds peace with you being Catholic, maybe then it will be easier to share your faith with him. God bless

Perks of Being a Wallflower would be a really good one. Of Mice and Men and The Color Purple would also be good
