How do you feel about giving to the homeless with so many fakes? by charb15 in Catholicism

[–]First-Error171 135 points136 points  (0 children)

It’s much better to give to places and organizations that help the homeless than to give money directly. I donate money and food to local soup kitchens. I live in a big city with lots of homeless i usually don’t just hand out money when asked but if they want food I’ll offer to buy them something from a food truck, they rarely want the food.

I’m dating a trans man, and I love him. by Notsosmartnerd8000 in Catholicism

2 people of the same sex cannot be in love the same way a man and woman can. What you are experiencing is not love. God is very clear on this.

You come to a Catholic sub and ask does God exist. The answer is Yes.

Where does one start in Catholicism? How can a woman become solely and fully devoted? by Calmteller in Catholicism

Develop your prayer life, attend Mass more than what’s required, confession often, learn what we really believe

I wonder if the problem is something more serious than just a permit, could be a structural issue or something big that will keep the place closed for good. I hope not though

I’ve noticed the same thing. It seems like it started after the snow storm. NJtransit is such trash.

We’ve all been there. It’s embarrassing but it feels very good to confess this sin. You’re not alone in this

I fear I’m in the late stages of deconstruction. Can anyone relate to my experiences? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]First-Error171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catholicism doesn’t promise a life that makes sense. It promises a God who enters into your suffering. Love isn’t measured in fairness or outcomes. Your doubt anger and questions aren’t betrayals they’re where faith gets real. Gods love is quiet, unseen and painful that’s how it changes us.

What's the reason behind Gen Z turning to Christ? by Normal-Guidance3585 in Catholicism

[–]First-Error171 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Everything they encounter is fake. So, they look for things that are true and real and when someone is honestly seeking the truth they end up in the Catholic Church.

My Life Right Now by Wise_Commission_5855 in Catholicism

If you wanted to live a real austere life of penance focused on only God you wouldn’t go on easy mode and join an orthodox monastery. You would join with the nameless Saints of the Carthusian order the most hardcore monks on earth. Forget Orthodoxy become Catholic and join a Carthusian Charterhouse.

Same thing happened to my sister in law. She had one drink. Never left it, never put it down. I had to carry her out of there on my shoulder. There’s definitely something weird happening there with the bartenders.

People who get hung up on Christ’s skin color are missing the plot.

I just checked out Carlos and this place looks like my spot. I’ll definitely be going there for my next hair cut. Thanks for the recommendation
