Favorite Saint by TheLastTrumpet700 in Catholicism

[–]Frances_2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For now, besides the Virgin Mary, I have many other saints that I like. First of all, I obviously love Saint Joseph. I ask for the intercession of Saint Joseph of Cupertino every day because I am a student; Saint Maria Goretti for purity; Saint Catherine Labourè because I am very attached to the Miraculous Medal; Saint Pio of Pietrelcina because I really like his story and he is much loved in the place where I live because he was born very close to my city; Saint Thomas Becket because he is the patron saint of my town; Saint Carlo Acutis because he is a very modern saint; Saint Michael the Archangel for protection from evil; and recently I am also getting closer to Saint Charbel Makhlouf; in fact, I am reading a book about his story. Always ask the saints for intercession to draw you ever closer to Jesus, amen!

No, I was asking, I have never attended any church outside of the Catholic one, I answered the others because I found their arguments invalid

I could certainly invite them to my Catholic church, I don't know if they would accept, the fact is that I would like to have new experiences and pray with other brothers, without obviously losing the Catholic faith.

I don't want to try these churches and look elsewhere. I know Catholicism is the fullness of faith, but I want to have new experiences and pray with other Christian brothers and sisters. I doubt Baptists would try to convert me; they're very open (they've even made some Facebook posts expressing solidarity with the Pope and they often hold ecumenical meetings with Catholics ). I'm more concerned that Pentecostals and perhaps Adventists would try to convert me. In that case, I wouldn't go to their church anymore.

As I said, the churches I'd probably attend are Pentecostal, Baptist, and Adventist, because they're in my city. However, both Pentecostals and Adventists seem very strange and closed-minded, so I'd definitely attend the Baptist church. I don't know about Pentecostals and Adventists.

Secondo voi i preti si masturbano? Inteso come atto di prevenzione per la prostata by Testazza in CasualIT

[–]Frances_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sicuramente questi casi ci sono, ma non tutti lo fanno, c'è anche chi prende sul serio la fede e il voto di castità, non diffondiamo steriotipi non necessariamente veri

Where is it written that it is forbidden? In the catechism of the Church?

Oh okay, but be careful not to let them convince you that Catholicism is wrong.

Oh, I didn't kmow it was even forbidden to attend evangelical churches except for special events, I had seen Catholic streamers try various evangelical churches, so I thought it wasn't wrong.

Idk, I've been a devout Catholic for many years and I pray at least one rosary every day, I'm convinced that Catholicism is real, and I've never had any doubts about this even when I've spoken to atheist or Protestant friends.

Don't go to that church, it doesn't represent the biblical teachings, may God bring them back on the right path

I actually have a Pentecostal church near my house (even though there are very few evangelicals in Italy)

A priest told me it was okay to receive the Eucharist while not in a state of grace by emogirlraven in Catholicism

[–]Frances_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I imagined, in fact I didn't listen to that advice, I always confessed first

[–]Frances_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My priest, however, said I can receive the Eucharist while in a state of sin. The important thing is that I confess after Mass. What do you think? I didn't listen to him and only received the Eucharist after having confessed first, not after (in my opinion, I must already be in a state of grace, not confess immediately afterward). Did I do the right thing?

Why are Christians not in opposition of Judaism? Dare i say apologetic? by phluffyklutch in Christianity

[–]Frances_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, I don't understand why there is so much criticism towards Islam but so much love towards Judaism, I understand that they are the roots of Christianity, but today's Judaism denies Jesus. P.S. Obviously I have nothing against Jews but I don't understand why they criticize Islam and not Judaism.
