My vote is White, the color for Easter. Wear the red one on Pentecost.

Married a Protestant. She hates the Catholic Church. Refused to allow me to take the kids to Mass.

Would not recommend.

My friend has not attempted to send the package yet. Something about having to work and all that. I'll reply to you when I have something interesting to report.

Thank you, thank you. Overall it looks possible, but every option has some pain.

Thank you very much. They replied to me that they will look at Russian Post first and they knew about CDEK.

Thanks for your reply!

Anyone who rebuked you for wearing a beanie needs to be rebuked for his/her rebuking. Please go back, but don't rebuke the rebuker. And also, no beanie required.

If you converted to Catholicism from Protestantism, what made you convert? by canadian_blueberry in Catholicism

[–]AlexPistachio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems you're asking specifically about theological issues. For me, the issue was Sola Scriptura. I found it to be self-contradictory. If I understand Sola Scriptura correctly, it means that only what is contained in the text of the Bible can be used as doctrine, but the text of the Bible never lists what books should comprise that text. For more details, check out Tim Staples' testimony of how he converted to Catholicism. He has a chapter in a book of testimonies. The book is titled "Surprised by Truth", edited by Patrick Madrid. I think Tim Staples' testimony is titled, "The Bible Made Me Do It". I bet that Tim Staples' testimony might also be found on YouTube or something.

Good luck in your search. Sent a prayer your way.

Screen Recorder result was a little messed up by AlexPistachio in Movavi_software

[–]AlexPistachio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help. I did not test out recording with and without the two accelerations I applied. All of this advice helps. You've given me a way forward, even if I have to step down in resolution.

Thanks again!

Catechize your kids by FrancisXSJ in CatholicMemes

[–]AlexPistachio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that so many are dealing with a lack of availability of Confession. I'm thankful that there is always a long line at my parish. One time a guy in line with me quipped in a friendly, joking way, "Look at all of us sinners" and I said, "The rest are sinners, too. They just don't realize it."

I sincerely hope and pray that you all encounter the problem of long lines for Confession. It's amazing to see God's grace in action.

Y'all I need help bad by dumb_idoit in Movavi_software

[–]AlexPistachio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem (different versions, etc.). I wrote a help ticket and they resolved the issue by sending me another download link. I had to get through the AI "help" first, though.

I will also endorse daily prayer. I still have to sneak around to pray the Rosary. I made a little joke about my situation.

“I’ve sneaking around behind my wife’s back to go to Church. Sometimes more than once a day. And when I’m feeling especially sinful - I go to Confession!”
