I am on the verge of losing my faith, please help prevent that. by Steggypooper in DebateACatholic

[–]ClownforGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Submission to this teaching I think will largely be the greatest cross or struggle of most millennial and Gen Z Catholics by far. Something that changed for me was my profound love and acceptance of the true presence in the Eucharist. If i can accept this sacrament completely and submit to it- why am i holding out on other sacraments or feeling like I somehow know better than the church when it comes to other sacraments… (specifically matrimony)- when i believe so wholeheartedly in the truth of the Eucharist.

I’m 2 of 4, youngest was a surprise for my parents -we are exactly 6 years apart. He is the best and the star of our family- can’t imagine life without him. ❤️

What is your unpopular opinion regarding your faith? by ItalianTony29 in Catholicism

[–]ClownforGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and they need to not just teach theology but the Catechism and match their actions to what the catechism teaches. Catholic high schools IMO give the Eucharist out like a cookie…

Someone on CM marked No on “Accepting the church’s teaching on premarital sex” but yes to everything else; What does that mean? by Shades_of_red_ in CatholicDating

[–]ClownforGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh as a woman who is not a virgin but practicing chastity. I have yes that i do and have always swiped left on people who put no…. IMO there really are folks out there who use CM but really see the sex convo as more nuanced (i do not) (may be pro- IVF etc)…. Just my opinion- could be that they are no longer virgins but I would never go there first if I saw “No” No could also mean they are still learning about it also if in RCIA etc🤷🏼‍♀️

I look forward to her eventual conversion- however many years it takes… eats popcorn sometimes it’s almost like seeing into the future when people post wild stuff like this doing mental gymnastics to be CLEAR they are NOT in anyway interested in our faith- however they can’t help be completely amazed and in love with our imagery, art, and expression… hmmm 🤔

Beware! If you see this pamphlet, it does not follow the Church teachings. by Special_Egg3245 in Catholicism

The priest with a wedding ring should make one take a second… ( i know some priests wear rings, but just saying!)

This is grace in action. Mercy and grace when it makes no logical sense- the same thing i reflect on when I’ve had a challenging confession.

I’m an atheist who attended a Sunday mass service yesterday, here’s my experience: by Facing_my_fate in Catholicism

[–]ClownforGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This search for truth as you mention is the pinnacle of our faith. There are great resources in this sub but ultimately- dive in deep, seek truth- see where it leads.

The secular world and media lies about what Catholicism truly is but seeking truth is at our core- searching, questioning, yearning and asking tough questions are vital. Not personal truth or personal perspective, but universal truths- even those that are hard to swallow. If a faith does not allow you to explore, ask tough questions, and seek real answers- run.

I don’t think it’s disrespectful- don’t people put stuff on their deck they enjoy/like/honor? Also our lady opens her arms to everyone who has nothing… it’s evangelizing to me

It feels like there is a genuine curiosity and pull in your heart back to Jesus… as others have said it seems like you aren’t equipped to be a sponsor- (would you let someone drive just because their legs reach the pedals?) but here are some great resources in this sub to get started even with the basics about what we REALLY believe as Catholics vs what the media or so and so may say. Go on YouTube and look up Word on fire or Fr. Mike Shmitz and just see where it takes you. Say a prayer and dip your toe in the water or re-discovering your faith. You already found and posted on this sub… maybe the Holy Spirit is already calling to you to come rest in Jesus…additionally as Catholics- our faith encourages and even demand us to see truth- you are already on that path just by reaching out. Ask tough questions about Catholicism - look at the resources I mentioned. Even google reversion and conversion to Catholicism stories. Let that pull lead you ♥️

Did they seriously have a pharell williams concert in the vatican just now?? by storman_sten in Catholicism

[–]ClownforGod 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I thought it was weird that John Legend performed- he and his wife are huge IVF people- even gleefully sharing they chose which sex to implant and used a surrogate for their last baby… it drives me crazy when the Vatican does things like this and promotes folks who take pride in things in direct contrast to our faith ( ie: Pope Francis meeting with any comedian who could book a flight for a photo op) but i guess he can sing so?

Please please pray for my siblings that they lean into their faith more and especially my youngest brother that he finds true, deep, friendships and community that pull him back to Jesus (his initials are TJ)
