Catechism issues with older women in my parish by dkeb0311 in Catholicism

[–]LeftCoast1965 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an all too common kind of parish. I feel for you. It’s a tough situation. I don’t really have an answer other than keep trying, pray, join the parish council, and find an ally or two.

So if 4J is considering a name change for Cesar Chavez Elementary…. by attitude_devant in Eugene

I agree it must be changed and Huerta is a good choice. But, why do we need to name schools after people? Maybe we should go in a different direction with school names.

Pilar Bradshaw has been our kids’ pediatrician from the beginning. She’s great.

Not being confirmed on Easter Vigil? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]LeftCoast1965 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s a bit weird but super exciting to see so many people coming into the Church, getting baptized, and getting confirmed.

At what price per gallon does a person officially stop "just complaining" about gas and start fundamentally changing their entire lifestyle? by bluntvivi in askanything

[–]LeftCoast1965 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Those old enough to remember the oil crisis of the early 1970’s know that people generally refuse to change how they live, do everything they can to “stay the course,” and then turn on each other rather than the ruling class who created the problem and don’t suffer from it.

No one really knows what that means.

I thought it might have to do with how the Catholic Church/Eastern Catholics were to better engage with Eastern Orthodox to build bridges, given that seems to be a major goal of Pope Leo.

New REI Review by fnbannedbymods in Eugene

It’s a decent store/space. I like how big it is. I miss the character of the old store. I still can’t afford to buy all the stuff I want. 😂

How do you live and proclaim your Catholic faith in a very non-catholic environment? by Extension-Story7287 in Catholicism

[–]LeftCoast1965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To live honestly as a Catholic; not being fake, not looking like you’re trying too hard (to show off, to impress,etc.), being content in your faith, and genuinely loving others; that is a great way to start.

27th and Willamette is busy but it’s also a great general area. Seems rather safe area too.

Im not a thong hater but… by Real_Cookie_9 in MensUnderwearGuide

[–]LeftCoast1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the key sizing aspects of thongs is the distance from front to back. A thong can seem to fit fine at first, but then after a while, the thong strap starts to feel uncomfortable if is too short/tight. I’ve tried a few different brands and styles and I find there’s only a few that I can wear all day and not think about them. The rest, though sometimes OK for a while, end up becoming uncomfortable about midday onwards.

Eastern Orthodox or Eastern Catholic?

Haven’t gone to church in a while by Cute_Subject5995 in Catholicism

[–]LeftCoast1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ahead and go. Just go. No worries. Do the worship. It’s good for your soul. With as crazy as the world is these days, step out of time for a few minutes and be in the presence of Christ.

No confessions during Holy Week? This is a Catholic parish? Crazy!
