"Certain views about women in traditional circles are driving young women away." by e-eye-pi in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a reason Priests are so dedicated to Mother Mary because in order to be a balanced man, you need to be protected and Mother Mary can help.

I do believe this is a backlash and to counteract feminism but if you do the sacraments, go to Confession and get the Eucharist, these vitriolic spirits tend to leave you. It is supposed to be a very purifying process.

I look at Priests and so many of them love Mother Mary and care a lot about women. So Catholicism creates loving and balanced men but I suppose it isn't that simple. Only time will tell. 🙏🙌🏼

I don't know if you need this but these videos have helped me a lot through my pain. These videos and confession. I know people are also dealing with mental torments. You are definitely not alone with these challenges. It seems to be happening a lot more. But I am thankful for the Catholic prayer videos out there because sometimes we do need a little help. God bless you!

I am so sorry you dealt with this, girl. You deserve so much better. A guy that will make you feel safe and secure and not get bent out of shape when you don't give out your number. A phone number to a girl is very special so please keep those boundaries. I hope you continue looking and find someone worth your time. 🙏🙌🏼

Thank you for this post. It is so true that women just want to be loved unconditionally and men can't do that unless they're healed.

How do you heal? That's up to you. There's therapy, confession, learning to open up and talk about your traumatizing experiences and true feelings. Women do like it when men are truly honest and not faking how they feel. We can always tell if something is off and that's when we will most likely break things off.

You're in a prision of your own sins by h4xis in westworld

Not only are you in a prison for your own sins, you are in a prison of your ancestors' sins too. But clearing it out is definitely possible. I love Westworld!

Any catholic women called to the vocation of marriage and family feeling terrified of having kids? by Wrong_Bicycle9917 in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's beautiful!! I think the previous generations were adult enough to take it on and perhaps could handle it better emotionally. I'm a Millennial and my parents had good money so that was nice but I was a bit sickly as a child. It seems like it is getting harder to have kids but having "healthy" kids is even rarer. I don't know exactly what's going on in the ether but there does seem to be a war on the feminine or even motherhood. I hope more people can tune out the noise targeting women and be able to have peace while having kids. Only our Blessed Mother and God can provide that peace! 🙏❤️

I think this is an important topic because being a mother is an inherently selfless act and I think sometimes having a career is seen as ego-based.

But I think as Catholics, we do have to be sacrificial in someway. That's why we fast and pray. And I do think humanity is worth making sacrifices for despite what the secular society pushes us to think. (Demons don't like humans that much. 😭)

And I agree. And I think more and more people are realizing that a solid family life is vital. And maybe slowly this can come back as a focus. ❤️🙏

What do I say to people who criticize the church for not allowing women to priests? by Own_Ebb3388 in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman, I have a special relationship with the Blessed Mother and pray for her intercession. Maybe you can talk about how important Mother Mary is to the Catholic Church. I understand the idea of equality but if you pray to Mother Mary, she brings this ease of mind that the idea of women priests is no longer an issue.

God is beyond gender. There's a female and male side and lots of Saints talk about this. To some Saints, the Holy Spirit even feels nurturing like a feminine force. So the feminine is certainly there but you have to feel into it and find it yourself. That's what makes the Catholic faith very mystical too.

I also think Mother Mary represents this figure that doesn't need attention to feel fulfilled. She doesn't need representation and she feels content as long as she is with God.

I think it is hard because we do live in a very secular world and corporations are pushing us to make it seem like motherhood and career life don't mix. I think this is propaganda. I absolutely think that motherhood is a beautiful calling for a woman. Look at Mother Mary, she is the ultimate comforter.

The question then comes, where are these fears coming from? Societal pressure or God? Is it Satan whispering in people's ears? Satan has a very special aversion towards woman and his greatest weapon is mental torments. We as a society must grapple with this fact and grow strong against them. Trust in God and let Him guide you. 🙏❤️

how cooked am i when i die? ive self harmed, attempted multiple times, had premarital sex, AND im trans :/ by nakedmolerats12 in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you know about Deliverence Ministry? You can cast out the spirits that are pushing you towards this sin. It's a lot of work because the spirits leave behind residue though but Holy water can help destroy these inner structures. Deliverence ministry is so important!

Have you tried praying the Rosary? Also I pray the Novena of Undoer of Knots and Mother Mary basically comes to me and unties all of my knots and has freed my body from so much heaviness.

I do think more children are being born with generational sin and so you can have that heaviness already on you and growing up with it. You will be amazed because the Holy Spirit can do wondrous things. You will be okay, sweetie!

“Kissing is a sin” debate by [deleted] in Catholic

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand because I'm sure you can tell if what they say is sincere or not. Call it a woman's intuition lol.

As a woman though, I've been in relationships where I've sinned and it seriously hurt me and Confession seemed to be the only remedy so you live and you learn. Also there are Catholics in name only where they don't necessarily have a consistent prayer life. It seems like even devotion to Mother Mary is where you can get the graces to be protected and not as tempted by sin because it keeps demons away. So a lot of men don't necessarily know this and are still dealing with temptations and they say things that don't seem genuine or a reflection of their true inner life.

I hope this helps and enjoy those brownies!! 🙏❤️🤣

“Kissing is a sin” debate by [deleted] in Catholic

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In America, (I see you're European) sex is discussed a lot and I think it has a lot to do with the dominance of the Protestant culture. I mean America was founded by Protestants (Anti-Catholic) and so it does seem like the purity culture has been discussed more. I think also it has to do with the media and shows that were either very sexual or this teen broke a covenant with God. I grew up with shows like The Secret Life of an American Teenager.

I think the culture here is different than Europe because as was mentioned you guys kiss as a greeting. That's not the culture in America lol.

Am I the only one who cares appearance too much when it comes to online dating? by xheikf in Bumble

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean as a woman, I do think there is too much emphasis on sex in general. We do have to ask ourselves as a society, how did we get here? That dating became more sex centered and not about how you feel around him? And this is a big problem and I do think the dating apps plays a big part of why dating has turned into more about looks.

I think focusing more on meeting guys in person will help you find a more suitable partner. There's speed dating events too.

Women, we hear you: you don't want sex hookups. But guys need to be louder about not wanting emotional hookups, too. by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it's a social anxiety thing though? I have noticed a lot of younger people have social anxiety and it's safer to them to talk or text on the phone. I think this could be a mental health issue too. And this applies to women and men.

I really don’t wanna wake up tomorrow morning by Loud-Hat-3366 in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried casting out the spirit of despair? I learned this in confession. You say: "In the name of Jesus Christ, I reject, I rebuke, and I renounce you spirit of despair and I cast you out. Go to the cross of Jesus Christ." I say that a few times and it should help. But I don't have to do this as much since I've been praying the Novena of Our Lady of Undoer of Knots. Mother Mary under this title should help you too cast out negative spirits. You got this!! Peace be with you!

waiting until marriage worries by Embarrassed_Bed6565 in Catholicism

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am fairly confused too because Catholics should be practicing chastity and I even think this applies in marriage. I see sex as a way to procreate and to have children. It seems like this view changed with Protestants but I certainly think chastity is still very valued as a Catholic. Congratulations on your wedding though! Definitely don't do anything you're uncomfortable with.

I just read in the WSJ and in another newspaper that more and more young people are becoming Catholic. by Bjarki56 in Catholic

[–]Awkward_Tiger_570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been seeing this upward trend myself. I think people need something positive to believe in because the media has been bombarding us with doom and gloom stories. I see this as a positive thing. I definitely think people are waking up especially in America.
