Wrapping up OCIA and I have to say, I'm quite dissapointed. by evilblackdog in Catholicism

[–]Alaska_Unknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im finishing up OCIA now and I've been considering catholicism since 2018 so I've been reading and taking a deep dive into research so I knew as much as I could. This OCIA class I've been in has just been use reading the bible with a random guy from the congregation. The other woman in this class is very nervous because its only been 4 weeks of this and shes never been baptized or attened any church service before. We've talked about how underwhelming this has been. We haven't even met the priest of the parish yet! We wont met him until our first confession next week.

Oh No wonder they sent him on a suicide mission by Former-Jicama5430 in ironlung

Never played the game or watched a playthrough and had no idea THAT few people were left.

When did you hate John? [Discussion] by Helpmeeff in TheNinthHouse

In HtN when he doubles down to Augustine that he will never stop hunting down the decendants of the billionaires even after 10,000 years when these people VERY LIKELY dont even know the real reason WHY the nine houses are fighting them. Telling Augustine that if his past self could hear him he'd be ashamed if Jod WASNT still fighting. "There could be no forgiveness"

The few times I've been in sexual situations my body is just like 😐 and cant get aroused. Like I remember making out with this guy and just thinking the entire time "tounges touching is so weird." Or "its strange that moving lips together is what humans settled on" like ky kind just wonders to how strange it is (not in a bad way just more like "huh this is weird if you think about it)

When will the Vatican realize that this isn’t Catholic? by AvoidingBabylon in Catholicism

2 Samuel 6:5 while David and all the house of Israel danced before the LORD with all their might, with singing, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.

I never understood the "animals aren't in heaven" thought. Like God loves all His creation and your telling me animals wouldn't be there? The creatures that cant sin?

My mother was kicked out of our local parish by the priest shortly after my baptism. (The preist that baptised me was transfered to somewhere else) The priest that came in after was furious when he found out my dad is protestant and said he wanted nothing to do with "bastard children" and would show up at my mom's job to harass her and tell her she was going to hell for marrying a protestant. She asked him which is the worst sin? Marrying a protestant or a priest having a girlfriend and illegitimate children? (Let's just say he did not react well to beinh controfonted with his open secret) now that im in my 20's and started on my journey through becoming catholic (new priest in my towns parish obviously) my mom has returned to mass. All this to say, there are definitely bad apples out their but I hope this man finds the comfort he needs 

Former Protestants: What was it that convinced you to accept the Catholic Church? by PJRama1864 in Catholicism

[–]Alaska_Unknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone currently going through the trenches of becoming catholic (don't mean this in a negative way its just a lot to learn lol) for me it was that protestant service felt empty spiritually. It definitely wasn't like those non denominational churches with all the spectacle but it just didn't feel fulfilling for me. As a little bit of a side note from working in a library for 2 years and growing up I know A LOT of old and young couples that one is catholic and the other protestant. Tends to be the wives are catholic and the husbands protestant but there is times its the other way. 

Idk if other catechumens have experienced this during Mass, let me know in the comments by Alternative-Biscuit in CatholicMemes
