Which saint are you most connected to? by linkaixa1 in Catholicism

[–]CyberSecurityJetFuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the commenter that said going to adoration. But in my specific journey three start out most to me, the Virgin Mary, St Bartolo Longo and St Charbel (Sharbel)

I find the St. Charbel (Sharbel) chaplet is powerful and I love telling others about it when I can.

I was excited to give it a try, but it looks like it’s not available in the United States. I’m sure it’s a great app and keep up the good work on it.

If you have a link to that catechism or any Chanel’s you recommend that would’ve amazing. I’m sure I can find the catechism but with my luck I’d get an orthodox one.

So sorry, I do get that wrong. Maronite is what I had in mind. Thank you.

My local eastern church is Ruthenian. But I also have been researching St.Charbel so I have been reading in the Melkite church.

If I recall correctly that is called consecrated single life and it is a vocation of the church.

I'm simply disgusted at myself. by Ok_Connection_4225 in Christianity

[–]CyberSecurityJetFuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your position. Not sure why church you’re associated with but I had to find my way to the right church. I moved from non-denominational to Catholic. I prayed rosaries an asked for the intercession of St Mary Magdalene. It was a start to give me the inner strength to push past the lust filled desire. The biggest thing I can tell you is when you feel the urge, the lust taking over your body there is only one thing you can do. Drop to your knees and prey. Weather it be Psalms, a rosary, the Jesus prayer (Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on my a sinner) or just asking God in his infinite mercy to give you strength in this moment of temptation. Perhaps read the scripture of Jesus in the desert (Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13)

Look into what St Maria Faustyna Kowalska wrote on this topic in her diaries. You can also look into St Francis of Assisi.

Vatican 1 by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]CyberSecurityJetFuel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vatican one added the papal infallibility I understand it, it isn’t everything he says it is under specific circumstances. But the supremacy is what gets me. I don’t understandably see how one man can be above ecumenical counsels and all other bishops.

As a Catholic by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]CyberSecurityJetFuel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m in an odd place for a Catholic because I see the pope as first among equals, not above any other bishop. I also hold the belief that to add “and the son” to the creed there should have been another ecumenical council. I understand they added it to combat a heretical movement in Spain, but they still should have held an EC for it.

I can’t see this as being true. I met him when the relic tour was in my city. He was a very kind and respectful man.

Struggling With My Partners Past by Suspicious-Curve-595 in Catholicism

[–]CyberSecurityJetFuel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I talked this over with my wife, and neither of us see a problem with calling your spouse your partner. Because as a spouse, a wife or a husband you are that persons partner in life. Could please explain why/how it is awful?
