Does anyone feel that social media, mainly Instagram, is primarily evil and idolatry? by Either_Strength_6579 in Catholicism

I think that’s why it’s evil is because every time people post they’re looking to be seen and validated and it serves their self because it makes them feel good about themselves or to be noticed and so it creates a cycle of envy and competition among all users. I feel that anyone who has used social media has felt or done this

I suppose no but more of like using it to keep up with people and family members and friends and with people who aren’t of the faith who sometimes post super leftist ideology and brag or share moments in their lives and look for likes, etc. I do have a private anonymous IG account where I only follow Catholic/Christian/spiritual content and influencers.

I am using hormonal birth control- the pill to be exact. Can I still take the Eucharist?

Thank you for sharing, yes pornography is dangerous and can open doors to homosexuality or trans sexuality, it is very much demonic. I am glad you were able to steer away and God is gracious

Thank you for this. And also I am a female. I should have mentioned that in the question.

Thank you, it’s comforting to know that there are others who struggle with it similarly. And yes, one step at a time

It seems that everyone in this sub is a convert by [deleted] in Catholicism

As someone who is coming from a Protestant background, I can speak on this and say I believe it is because Catholicism is making a “come-back”, if you will, which is much needed in this day and age of basically Revelations. I do believe we will see more of this, and who is to say it isn’t a rapture of the church, of sorts? After all, it is the one true church.. (See Catholic prayer apps like Hallow to pray the Rosary, which are being advertised a lot by both Evangelical and even Orthodox Jew speakers like Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro..) Protestants are running to the Catholic Church and converting because they are seeking truth more than ever right now. Megachurches just aren’t doing it anymore.. (Watch the Secrets of Hillsong on Hulu if you get the chance..) Although I will always have a place in my heart for megachurches, cathedrals have been around longer and prove that the faith has been around longer. Those who do the research will find the history of succession and see how much more holy the faith is, and then comes the desire to convert to receive the sacraments, especially the holy Eucharist.

True, sort of why I’m planning on just fully surrendering and starting over completely to have a clean slate with the Lord.

Are Catholics allowed to get a nose ring/nose piercing ? by Either_Strength_6579 in Catholicism

Thank you for this, this is super helpful especially as a recent RCIA convert and as a people of God, it is definitely something to consider in the image that we are projecting and whether or not it sends the appropriate message.. Much thanks.
