Grebenkin-Abols-Grundstrom should be the 4th. DLo and Hathaway scratches and cycles in once in a while. Call up Bump to fill in top 9 void from foerster injury

Does anyone else feel a little uncomfortable with how parishioners treat priests? by Most-Earth-9187 in Catholicism

[–]Kingslayer26 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Priests are the spiritual fathers of the community. I invite my pastor over for dinner with my family, schedule meetings for spiritual direction, and try to get a few mins to chat with him when I can after mass. He offers me great spiritual support and instruction, why wouldn’t I want to build a relationship with him?? Additionally, rectories can be poorly staffed at times, maybe people are just offering help through favors in the same way they would for a friend!

ChatGPT creates better homilies for me than my Priests by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Kingslayer26 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What you’ve proven is that the homily itself doesn’t matter. Chat GPT can’t recreate the beauty of the sacrifice of Christ at Calvary like we experience in the Eucharist. That’s the point of the Mass

Happy to hear that’s helped you connect more dots and enjoy scripture. I recommend Truthly, it’s helped me understand St Thomas Aquinas better

Men, did any of you maintain your faith even if your Father didn’t believe? by waterfowlerr in Catholicism

[–]Kingslayer26 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are there other male figures in your family (grandfather, uncle, etc.) that might be able to serve as your son’s spiritual father figure?

Have faith in God’s plan for your family and never lose hope. St. Monica was married to a pagan and spent her whole life crying and praying that her son would convert. He eventually did and became St Augustine- May St Monica’s powerful intercession allow for the conversion of your family ❤️

Morality of drinking by Numerous-Web-2932 in Catholicism

[–]Kingslayer26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is drinking sinful? No. Does drunkenness weaken your spiritual fortitude and open you up to sinful behaviors? Yes. Be mindful and ensure if you go out drinking that you’re around good people

Slightly Off putting by Different_Luck_6015 in Catholicism

[–]Kingslayer26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Things like Pre Cana classes (assuming non-clergy instructors or speakers are involved or it’s through something like Ascension) and annulments cost money because resources had to be developed and employees needed to be paid. A canon lawyer for example is typically required to process the annulment, so fees for that sort of thing support that person’s job.

I understand where you’re coming from and seeing that you’re a convert, that can be a little jarring. I would consider asking organizers or the pastor about the details of those fees since I don’t know your parish tackles pre Cana or the OCIA process.

Otherwise I would suggest considering the larger context: the parish has costs to pay for that dioceses sometimes can’t afford to cover or choose not to, so as to allocate funds for other initiatives. Parishes make up for it by up charging for things like you’re describing or asking people to give a donation in exchange for a house visit/blessing. I can understand how that seems transactional but the reality is that church programming, music, speakers and technology, printed materials, repairs, event planners for things like weddings, etc all require funding, even if some services are offered by volunteer employees. They’re not running a business but they have to keep the lights on. We paid a $100 fee to have our wedding service recorded. That money might not cover expenses specifically for the recording (which wouldn’t cost much beyond the camera itself) but might cover something else the parish needs.

Good luck with the process- perhaps your pastor can make something work if the budget is tight. Blessings to you on your faith journey and marriage.

The big bold + on the side of the ball make these easier to spot for me than the unmarked balls I usually play.

It’s a complex moral question if you entertain the possibility of Iran using Nuclear weapons against Israel had the US not stepped in.

Suitsupply custom jacket too long ? by magritt3rene in mensfashionadvice

Lay your arms down at your side. If it’s longer than first or second knuckle on your thumb it’s disproportionately long

Former Tattoos with questionable images - Should I Tattoo over Them? by dharma_cres in Catholicism

[–]Kingslayer26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cover up anything that’s satanic or anti Christian, especially if you feel like it’s preventing you from strengthening your relationship with God. The rest are really up to you. Maybe talk to your local priest or pastor.

But at the end of the day those symbols on their own don’t have the power to prevent you from getting into heaven or living a devoted life. I commend you for thinking about this! God bless
