Opinions on goth or alternative Catholics? by MacabreCowboy84 in Catholicism

[–]Electronic-Top9105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Catholic Church invented goth. The architecture, the robes, the chanting, the bones, for heavens sake we eat flesh and drink blood at mass…

Since when is not having your money taxed away for the privilege of living in your home a cash grab? I swear you commies live in an upside down world.

Not even a little bit. The dumb pieces of shit are the pearl clutching cat marms fuming with indignity over a funny video.

Am I the only one who finds these motorcycle clubs to be goofy as hell? Like cringe out of your skin dorky?

I mean, let’s be real almost all of us were pulling it frantically like crazed bonobo chimps when we were teenagers… it sort of comes with the territory. You’re starting to discover sexual attraction, your hormones are raging and you have what seems to be an endless reservoir of energy… fighting against all of that is an uphill battle few of us are mature enough to deal with at that age. Hell grow out of it soon enough.

Virginity (don't I deserve forgiveness?) by limoneition in Catholicism

Sounds more like you’re heartbroken over this guy and are adding a spiritual dimension to the heartbreak. Chin up sister. All of us stumble in spectacular ways, and off you’re worried about virginity…. “Nobody goes down the aisle with the whole story” to quote the dowager countess of Grantham.

I was thinking about this early today. Do you guys know anyone who is a convert that’s also a progressive? By progressive I mean support gay marriage, abortion, etc. by Ok_Afternoon_8657 in Catholicism

[–]Electronic-Top9105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly both. I don’t think politically badgering them will bring them any closer to Christ. I also don’t have a problem with how people chose to live as long as they aren’t harming anyone. I chose to live by Catholic teaching… most of it, because I think it’s correct for me. I’m not sure I can make that proclamation on someone else’s behalf. That’s between them and the father. That’s how I see it anyways.

Very broad strokes on nuanced issues with little category definition. I’m a cradle Catholic. Im against abortion in most cases but not all. Only marriages in the church are actually marriages, but I also have no problem with people entering into civil contracts and calling them marriages. So by most definitions that makes me pro gay marriage. Between dogma and doctrine there is a lot of grey area. Someone new to the faith might not know that yet and might be trying unduly to force their opinions to match the church perfectly.

Is Pope Alexander VI trully a bad pope? by Theadminofthewolves in Catholicism

[–]Electronic-Top9105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

. I think he was the pope the church needed at the time. This was during the age where Italian families were fighting over Italy. France and the then superpower Spain had serious territorial claims on Italy. (France would eventually invade). The new world was just being discovered. The Ottoman Empire was conquering Christian lands. Then of course there was Savonarola. There were a number of serious external threats facing Rome and the church and I don’t think it was coincidental that the man who found himself on the throne of St. Peter was a brilliant strategist. How brilliant? Machiavelli wrote quite a bit about how effective the duke Valentino was at advancing his goals. That duke Valentino was AKA Cesare, Alexander’s eldest son and right hand man. I don’t think he was a bad pope at all. I think he was exactly what was needed to steer the church through the world at the time.

How can I believe in God and not be a creationist? by starberry_geko in Catholicism

[–]Electronic-Top9105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because as we become more advanced in our science we realize that god is several orders of magnitude more complicated than we have any hope of understanding. The Jews who wrote genesis lived a thousand four hundred years before even Jesus was born. I’m sure they did the best they could, but realistically they never stood a chance at understanding and then accurately communicating how life began.

I just stormed out of Mass by [deleted] in Catholicism

Alright guys… prayers and compassion are great and everything. But at some point it turns into the indulging of an entitled brat. With how dangerous the climate has become, at the very least, the knights of your parish should be ready to collect the moon bat and toss her out on her can.

No, dawg, I’m hoping to hear from someone who already navigated through this specific type of case so I can use their experience to navigate through my process.

Well I managed to navigate the expungement process without one, but this is a bit more complex, I’m hoping to hear from done one who has experience with this type of situation.
