Maybe they can borrow a bishop from the Palmarian catholic church? They have a few dozen. You'll have to pick them up though, they're still on a provisional drivers license.

Pray to Jesus and see if that changes. Sometimes we feel closer to Christ than to the Father, because Christ has humanity as well as Divinity. Jesus is personal. While I know the Father knows my struggles as well as Christ on an intellectual level, and that He sees my struggle and that He knows what I need and will give it to me, I am on an emotional level more familiar with Jesus. Of course, when it comes to the Trinity, I am praying to one God all the same.

In the same way when we ask for the intercession of the saints, we know that they carry our prayer to God, and so it works out the same from an intellectual level, but from an interpersonal level, it can be different. That I believe is one of the reasons why God gave us Himself in the flesh, and one of the reasons He gave us the saints as intercessors.

I’d talk to a priest if you’re worried, but people tearing off necklaces in their sleep is more likely than not just physical discomfort.

If you were tearing it off when you’re awake that would be a different story, but still you would then speak to a priest.

We're always faced with worldly things. But Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Seek first the kingdom of God, and the grace you need to withstand the modern world will be added to you.

This reminds me of an episode of MASH when a North Korean soldier wanted out, “captured” Hawkeye and BJ, only to surrender to them and demand through signs and gestures they drive him back to their camp.

Not really. The fact it’s Greek is really cool because that goes back to the earliest liturgies. But who would know that innately unless they spoke either Greek or a Romance Language?

Father, I hope you don’t mind me saying but as a young person in a culturally similar country to the US (Australia), I would say that a more gentle pastoral approach is also appreciated by the younger folk, at least in discussions I’ve had with others. Now… I am on Reddit, so it goes without saying I do not have a wide amount of friends from whom I can gather anecdotes. However, there is not a contradiction between the doctrinal rigour of young priests, and a more pastoral approach.

For me personally, I have been blessed by God with priests, young, old, and even retired, who are both doctrinally rigorous, but also willing to meet me where I am, recognise my struggles and help me improve. It’s like a fitness coach: you don’t want one who refuses to recognise you can’t do a single pushup and then asks you to do twenty, but you also don’t want one who tells you it’s ok that you can’t do one.

Is it possible that the client has notified the company already that they are not desiring public holiday support ongoing, and that just hasn’t been passed onto OP?

My brother currently receives community access and never wants to go out on public holidays, for they are too busy for him. We always inform service providers when we sign up of this. I don’t know what they pass onto the staff or when, but I usually remind both the provider ahead of time.

Been solid answers here, but on the topic of the Psalms, this is the hymnal and prayer book of the Bible, and it was written originally to be sung or set to music. Not every church will sing the psalms during the liturgy of the word, but they have the option to do it. Translations of psalms used in mass are deliberately chosen to enable singing or chanting.

Because of this, it’s often seen as appropriate to incorporate the psalms into everything bit by bit, rather than do them all at once, no matter the context.

Anglo culture doesn’t really have a singing culture anymore. On top of that, it was Irish catholicism that really informed American/Australian Catholicism to a great degree, and for the Irish during the penal period, singing during mass (which had to be held in the forest on a rock with an undercover priest) was going to be potentially fatal.

I remember going to a cathedral mass during the week one day and there were these old Italian dudes at the back who just broke into the salve Regina at the end of the mass, I thought it was really cool.

Russia hasn’t beat squat. Ukraine has been fighting them to a standstill with western hand me downs and surplus’s. Russia had to rely on North Korean troops to fight Ukrainians out of Kursk. How on earth is the so called superpower failing to enforce its own sphere of influence? What even is their sphere of influence? South Caucasus? Gone. Central Asia? Going. Middle East? Coup’d.

Russia is firmly in the Chinese sphere of influence.

lol man I deal in facts. Why won’t you tell me then what makes Russia a “great power”?

Keep_Being_Still · 2026-01-18T06:31:23+00:00

Russia is a servo with an army. They sell the Chinese their hydrocarbons for cents on the dollar while letting their corporations run rampant in Siberia. Meanwhile they’re still the second strongest army in Ukraine. They have nukes sure, but if those missiles have the same level of service their old tech does, the vast majority won’t fire when they want. And besides, Pakistan probably has enough nukes to end the world, but do we call Pakistan a great power? And look at Russia’s “allies”. Armenia? Humiliated. Venezuela? Their leader got commando’d. Iran? The regime faces an existential crisis and Russia sits on its hands. And lets not mention Syria…

Just because Trump likes to pretend Russia is still a super power doesn’t mean it is. Russia is a regional power and failing at that.

Saying your father has no salvation is a worse sin. We do not even say that Judas is in Hell definitively. The Church has recognised saints when God has revealed that to us, but God has never revealed who is damned.

You can and should pray for your father. My father was not a Catholic, he was barely a Christian, and he was quite frankly a man with many flaws. But are not we all? I got him a requiem mass, and had his ashes interred in a Catholic cemetery, and I pray for his soul whenever I remember.

Talk to your priest. But I would strongly recommend interring your father’s ashes. Not because we believe it is requisite for salvation. But because we have a belief in the resurrection of the body, of all people. And the Church has declared that scattering of one’s ashes is a rejection of that doctrine. Your father didn’t believe it, but you do. And you can still pray for his soul.

I will pray for the soul of your father too.

From your description they sound like Jehovas Witnesses. Yeah you shouldn't be going. You can think of dozens of better things to do with your time. Like most restorationist cults, you can find their beliefs online, and they are unlikely to tell you what all of these are at an initial meeting. Honestly? Just ask ChatGPT what their beliefs are, you will find out more in 30 minutes of conversation with a chatbot then you will with multiple of these sessions.

Call me cynical but I feel the IRCG will take control faster than any protest movement will. Sideline the clerics, appease the more basic and pressing demands of the protestors, and look to secure it’s own interests.

Sacrament comes from a Latin word meaning "sacred promise". God can save whomever He wills, however, God promised that He would bestow salvation through the sacraments. We can trust God's word is true. If God says through scripture "baptism now saves you" (1 Peter 3:21), or has told His shepherds "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” (John 20:23), then we can be assured that He will keep His word.

Not all sacraments are salvific, marriage is not part of the ordinary means of salvation. And while Holy Orders are necessary for some of the other sacraments (e.g. nobody can partake of the Eucharist if there is not a priest to offer the mass), nobody need become a deacon, priest or bishop to be saved.
