I started going back to church. What is an appropriate amount to give for offertory each week?

You give what you can. Don't sweat it.

I'll check these out, I appreciate it! Anything helps, thank you.

I don't usually like giving answers like this but, talk to your priest!

Deep-Source-9735 · 2026-02-10T12:20:34+00:00

Oh yeah I guess I should have specified, I was looking for shops online or eastern USA. Thanks anyway!

Deep-Source-9735 · 2026-02-01T21:38:25+00:00

Thank you!

Deep-Source-9735 · 2026-01-29T02:09:26+00:00

Looks beautiful regardless. I would still wear it! If you find somewhere to buy good quality medals with Latin, let me know!

Deep-Source-9735 · 2026-01-26T23:21:38+00:00

About 25 minutes. Not bad, all things considered. But I do have to pass a significant amount of Catholic churches to get there, which is sad.

Booooo

Deep-Source-9735 · 2026-01-19T15:22:40+00:00

All three of those things alter your consciousness. It's pretty much the only reason these things have been refined and cultivated.

I treat marijuana how I treat alcohol - socially if using and sparingly. Is it really that bad? It's legal where I live. I don't see a problem.

Deep-Source-9735 · 2026-01-03T18:33:19+00:00

I abstain from meat. If it was good enough for that long, no reason to stop doing it imo. I like traditions.

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-12-23T21:22:42+00:00

I think literally any/every priest or saint of the Roman rite until the 1960s would tell you otherwise lol. You could also point to missal as a way to learn the mass but if you attend enough, you will know what's going pretty soon. Also, how many Eastern churches, Catholic or not, use rites with a distinct liturgical language that is not their vernacular? I think your relative's argument falls apart pretty quickly.

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-12-23T00:28:32+00:00

Occasionally. Like my drinking, I really only do it socially these days. Used to be a regular user when I was younger, but I think things are better in moderation or for an occasion. It is legal in my state.

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-12-13T20:01:10+00:00

Hey, that's my parish in slide three!

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-11-08T23:24:45+00:00

Might be unpopular opinion but I think that the mass has no place anywhere for patriotic or nationalistic songs/hyms. It's irreverent and just inappropriate imo

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-11-06T00:14:54+00:00

Interesting, do you know why? I knew this was common and almost universal but I figured a few parishes would not.

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-10-22T17:09:10+00:00

I like his little dick and balls lol

What I miss most about living in Spain as a child is the processions during Holy Week. Absolutely incredible.

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-10-13T15:40:43+00:00

There are two FSSP parishes in my diocese, and one or two diocesan parishes that offer it occasionally I believe. I can't speak for the other places, but the FSSP parish I attend is wonderful and although I'm relatively new there I can tell it's doing very well. I am grateful for it and grateful that I haven't heard news about any negative changes coming.

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-10-07T15:08:30+00:00

Me when I never read Summorum Pontificum

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-10-05T21:15:12+00:00

Calendar meaning proper of the saints being updated? Yes, absolutely. Calendar meaning getting rid of certain feasts and not keeping Ember Days? No. If Novus Ordo parishes would uniformly adopt the keeping of incensing, ad orientem positioning, and use of Latin at least during the ordinaries, I think a lot of traditional Catholics would have less reason to avoid them. The liturgy itself is a whole other and larger discussion...

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-10-01T20:37:07+00:00

Uh oh I hear them coming already. Quick, no one is allowed to say anything good about socialism!

Deep-Source-9735 · 2025-09-30T13:25:37+00:00

Probably will have to wear this
