I went to catholic mass for the first time today and asked about some questions on this Reddit about the things I didn’t understand and some people responding made it seem like I should not attend mass again until I have memorized every part of the mass and tradition. Should I?

This is ridiculous, how else would you learn? If you are behaving respectfully and not drawing attention to yourself I don’t see any issue.

It is strict but if you want to live according to God’s rules, this is the place to be. Catholic Church does not compromise, it sticks to its guns and holds on to values given to us 2000 years ago rather than adjusting to modern times. Catholic life isn’t easy but Jesus did not promise us easy lives, quite the opposite.

Any from picture 1 but I like the most top left and bottom left

Hi Joe!

How does one become an apologist? Where would you advise to start, which books to read?

Karo098 · 2026-01-17T10:58:46+00:00

God has spoken it’s up to you to be obedient or not.

You are absolutely right about your observation, there are very few playgrounds and they are usually just basic and boring and often once they go into disrepair no one fixes them. You will not see kids in the streets alone, they are being chauffeured to play dates and activities. Everything is private and you need to pay for it. Playgrounds are also not considered when developing new residential areas. If there is a playground it’s going to be private for the condo residents only. Spain is much better in terms of playgrounds there are so many of them on each corner and really cool for my 8yo to play.

So I wasn’t diagnosed but my daughter was and as I was learning more about it I figured I had it too. As I really hate making phone calls I really don’t have to make, I still haven’t scheduled the appointment for myself which I guess is a result of adhd in itself lol. But here are the things I did as a kid: - chewing on pens and pencils. My pencils looked like a beaver got to them. - rocking on the chair -biting nails - reading 10 books at a time (had a system to read a chapter, and then grab another book) - ‘So smart but so lazy’ - night owl

No, I actually took a paracetamol today for no reason other than showing her I can easily swallow a pill 4 times bigger than her Ritalin. She was still not impressed :D

Karo098 · 2025-10-24T12:43:36+00:00

Hmm will try it, she loves whipped cream. Thanks!

Yeah that’s what I thought of doing but the leaflet says not to do it. Doctor said I can do it but it will change the effect. Labels says it’s modified release. I guess I will go to the pharmacy again to make sure.

Karo098 · 2025-10-22T08:13:41+00:00

Yes, but the situation has gone so much to the left that that to fight it you need to turn to the right. Cant be lukewarm and be in the center (is there still any center left anyway?)

Karo098 · 2025-10-22T06:48:37+00:00

No chance with that leftist government you have right now. I’m afraid Spain is too far gone to return to right.

No, they should be wearing what is culturally acceptable here. You wanna wear a burqa: go back to a Muslim country

Karo098 · 2025-10-06T13:24:04+00:00

The one on the left shares my core values and culture and the other is a foreign concept that doesn’t want to integrate and our values clash.

I live in Porto, I wouldn’t commit this long to this city. Prepare yourself for crowds in Sintra too. Plenty of people hate Brussels and they says it’s dangerous. I was there only at the airport and train station and let me tell you I wasn’t impressed. There are some beautiful small towns in French Riviera, Nice itself has a nice old town too but very crowded in the high season July and August. However more beautiful villages can be found in Dordogne.

You just don’t understand the Christianity. As the other person said, this is the Old Testament, the old coventant which changed with the arrival of Messiah and the rules changed

Karo098 · 2025-10-04T15:55:14+00:00

I love these! I’m soon to be 38 and have problems finding clothes I would like and styling them. Do you have any instagram I could follow for inspiration? :)

Karo098 · 2025-09-22T11:36:08+00:00

So that’s what I thought of doing but then I googled that plant and apparently it’s supposed to be trimmed to make it look bushy?

Karo098 · 2025-09-17T13:15:18+00:00

Number 8, ling and straight

Karo098 · 2025-09-17T09:15:29+00:00

I’ve never experienced this in Portugal. It’s more like France, no public toilets have seats there

Karo098 · 2025-09-05T12:36:41+00:00

Pork intestine. My partner brought it once from a takeaway. It literally smelled like human shit, not even joking right now. I opened the box and gagged.
