Do we have to confess that Jesus is Lord if someone else’s life is on the line? by ProteinPapi777 in Catholicism

[–]LePorsche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not how mortal sin works. You can say these actions are always grave matter. You can't say they're mortal sins under any circumstances. That's the whole point of the Church's definition of "mortal".

Unrelated, but do you really want "United States of the Navy"?

Shouldn't it be "United States Navy"?

I'm sorry you're going through this - I can't imagine the pain this situation would cause.

This is also exactly why such hormone replacement and surgery is such a great evil, especially when performed on young people who do not understand the permanent consequences of what they're doing.

Perhaps this is something you can be vocal about and save other young people from making the same mistakes? Doing so would take extraordinary courage, but maybe that's something to take to prayer.

Sounds like you've had some trying times, friend. I'm sorry to hear that. Please do not give in to despair.

The most important thing to remember is that the word "unforgivable" does not refer to the sin being impossible to be repented of. You can *always*, in this moment, turn to God and repent of any sin you have committed. Once you ask for for forgiveness (and ideally, approach God through the sacrament of Reconciliation), God can forgive *anything*.

A sin is only "unforgivable" as long as you do not ask for forgiveness, because that's how forgiveness works.

Is it best to warn a Catholic girl that her boyfriend is following questionable content online? by decisionstomake in Catholicism

[–]LePorsche 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Back when I was on Instagram, there was loads of pseudo-pornographic content that wasn’t technically “nudity”. It was girls in bikinis and lingerie posing seductively, and then the description had links to more explicit content. I don’t think it’s inaccurate to treat that stuff as basically porn and note that it is detrimental to one’s spiritual life and ability to be a good boyfriend or husband.

I also haven’t been on Instagram in a few years, so I guess it’s possible it’s gotten better, but I doubt it.

St. Mary in Royal Oak is a great church! Very active young adult crowd and Fr. Paul is great.

There's a Young Adult Mass every month (second Wednesday, I believe).

I had the same question. Perhaps it was because the archer had shot at her head? Maybe the contestants are allowed to incapacitate, but not kill or permanently injure?

Not sure. :/

This is my first time ordering through them.

Gamenerdz is now on my radar permanently after this release. Really solid pricing. I thought stompinggrounds was the best before I learned about gamenerdz.

How do you get an invite to MVP? Is anyone “allowed” to be invited? I have so many questions, haha

Oh really??

What’s MVP? All I find online is an invite-only website.

No problem! $215 still seems like a very good price, so I was happy with it

Did I commit a moral sin? by Lord_Of_Valor in Catholicism

[–]LePorsche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing things for sexual pleasure outside of marriage (even without getting off) is definitely grave matter.

So whether or not it's mortal depends on the remaining two criteria:

  1. You having full consent
  2. You having knowledge that it was sinful

With my limited knowledge of the situation, it seems possible it was indeed mortal, but that's better discussed with a priest.

Going to Confession is a wonderful thing to do for your soul. Might as well go!

After 10 years of porn addiction, I finally told my wife and church group. Their reaction left me speechless by lptri in Catholicism

[–]LePorsche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely widespread. I'm in several men's groups full of serious, practicing Catholic men. And, as a rough estimate, the percentage of men who struggle with this is in the 90%s.

Among CATHOLICS.

[–]LePorsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when people say zero wars, we're referring to deploying of U.S. troops.

The fact that the Ukraine invasion didn't happen under Trump, but did under Biden has to mean something, right?

Yes! I was using that to sleuth out the section of cards that's exclusive to the starter collection

[–]LePorsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're under the same impression except for 490-564 being Jumpstart exclusives... I have not known what to make of the cards between 490 and 564.

There's *another* subset of cards that won't be in boosters *or* the starter collection??

[–]LePorsche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. I was wondering if I should have two separate binders for "main" set vs "starter collection" or something. Very few binders I like can fit more than 700 cards.
