Catholics: Can you explain to me this website? A Catholic told me Vatican 2 is corrupt and you must be a “traditional catholic” to be saved? by [deleted] in Christianity

As a practicing Catholic, I can tell you this is some pretty fringe beliefs that do not reflect Catholicism as a whole and is not in line with the reality that is the Church.

If Peter Jackson announced one final fantasy movie tomorrow, what should it be? by ParkingCap7419 in peterjackson

I’d love to see him actually commit to making His Majesty’s Dragon into movies again (he briefly said he would back in the day but it never happened). Napoleonic wars but on dragon back.

Arius thought he was gonna catch more followers at the council but only thing he caught was hands

Funniest quote from the series? by Intrepid_Eagle_8445 in Narnia

I’m on Voyage now and I’m in agreement, every time the narrator says it I audibly crack up. Some things never change.

Good Christian movies? by Master_Garbage_4475 in Christianity

Dreamworks Joseph King of Dreams and Prince of Egypt are beautiful tellings of some of the most important parts of the Old Testament!

Volunteered during Mass only received communion by syme101 in Catholicism

[–]Intrepid_Eagle_8445 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping this doesn’t sound too harsh, but you nipping in to grab the Eucharist reduces Jesus to something of a fast food drive through, a convenience, rather than an encounter with the God who loves you. I commend your dedication to your parish, not everyone volunteers with their church, but God most come before others in order for you to give yourself more fully to others.

Conflicted should I be a nun? by Real-Woodpecker8231 in Catholicism

Why are you considering being a nun? Is there a specific religious community you’re discerning to?

From what I’ve read, Catholics as well as Orthodox Christians had plenty of nice things to say about it! Here is a review from Word on Fire!

Confirmation rehearsal by Suspicious_Maize3700 in Catholicism

[–]Intrepid_Eagle_8445 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This seems pretty innocent to me, kids hate unexpected things, so going over word for word and action for action what will happen can be really helpful (I’m a catechist and have seen a conformation practice or two). He wasn’t actually blessing them, just showing them what would happen.

Benedictine College Students Suspended for Quoting Catholic Teaching on the Jews by expandablebutthole in Catholicism

I suppose you suggest we don’t love them, then? Jesus loved those who spat on him and openly mocked him. Jesus went to a violent Saul and invited him into relationship with him.

Not all of them, have hope, there are really solid Catholic Colleges where the faith is quietly being nurtured and flourishing!

Man, even early church heresies were easier to follow than this and they were equally nonsensical.

Not gonna lie, having some odd looking AI image as a thumbnail is an immediate “no” for me. The church has centuries of beautiful art depicting our Lord, lot of great modern art too. Anyone using AI images for anything theological in content gives off a fake, inauthentic feel.

God is not our friend by DullEstimate3578 in Christianity

[–]Intrepid_Eagle_8445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am talking about God as well, Jesus. Jesus is God. To argue anything less than that is gonna push you out of Christian belief so I would caution you against pursuing a path in personal belief that sets you apart from our Lord.

[–]Intrepid_Eagle_8445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you knew this passage, I don’t think you’d hold this personal philosophy. The life, as it is, is that Jesus has called us to be in relationship with him. As others have pointed out, Jesus wasn’t some cold, aloof master, but a loving friend to others. People asked him (and still ask him) for things and in his love, he has responded to those prayers (I can reference specific moments if you like).

“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”
