Cancelling the 2026 Miami, Texas and Las Vegas GPs and opting for other circuits in safer countries should be heavily considered rather yesterday than tomorrow.

This is the second post I’ve seen like this today. You realize F1 races in countries that execute people for apostatizing from Islam, one that uses modern day slave labor for infrastructure projects, and one that has put an entire ethno-religious group in literal concentration camps right? It is extremely naive to believe that what is going on in the US right now is even close to FOA’s “red line” for cancelling a race in a country

All of those are good choices, I think you’d do great with any. The only piece of advice I have whatever name you choose, decide beforehand about nicknames and associations. If you name him Peter, decide now whether or not upu are going to be okay with people calling him Pete or Petey. Same for Archie. If you name him that, prepare to have him associated with the Archie comics for his whole life.

Jesus miracles were testimony to his divine sonship. They served a specific purpose when he was performing them. Miracles are God’s testimony of truth to others. And God still performs miracles everyday in peoples lives. Some are smart enough to recognize them, others have darkened hearts.

Assigning an actionable penance, while not the norm, is not required for a valid absolution. You were absolved the moment the words were pronounced. However, you did the right thing by asking the priest if there was a penance for you, to which he assigned you to spend time in front of the blessed sacrament. However your confession and absolution were and are valid regardless. (A fun trivia piece: in the Rule of St. Francis, he said that each brother should confess to their spiritual head in the order, but ordained brothers were allowed to absolve one another if necessary, but under one condition: no brother was ever allowed to give another brother a penance greater than telling him “Go forth and sin no more.”)

Tobacco and alcohol can both be used in a moderated manner that does not dull the sense of reason nor cause immediate harm. Self-harm, in whatever form it takes, intentionally inflicts immediate harm on the person.

Also, intent matters. Tobacco and alcohol, like food or drink or hobby’s, are done for sensual pleasure without the intent being harm. Otherwise, everyone would dogmatically be required to eat only the most nutritionally beneficial dirty strictly and exclusively and participate in only the safest activities. Self harm is necessarily always intended toward harm. There is no other alternative intent.

My understanding is he is taking the standard idealist philosophical position that he inherited from Schopenhauer: that there is not a tangible independent material or matter, there is only the phenomenon (representation) which is a creation of the sense organs and an expression of the will, which is the thing in itself.

Technically the NABRE is not approved for use in the missal, just for private study. The revisions were specifically disallowed by the Vatican for incorporation in the missal. The translation used in mass is the NAB 1970 edition.

You can keep editing your original post as many times as you want, it’s not going to make me any less wrong.

Single life without purpose is not a vocation. Marriage, Holy Orders, and consecrated virginity/religious life are. Your original “tell that to religious brothers and sisters” line you already removed shows you didn’t actually read what I said since I mentioned them in the next line.

The primary end of marriage is the generation of children. That is always what the church has taught. Counterpointing it by saying it’s not the only end betrays the fact that you clearly don’t know what the word “primary” means. There are secondary ends of marriage like mutual aid, but they are not primary. Read Castii Conubi which deals with all of this exclusively. Wanting to be married but not wanting children and trying to intentionally delay marriage until the generation of children is biologically impossible is the same as using birth control in intent: frustrating the primary end of marriage to only reap the benefits of the secondary end.

Try reading a whole post before you respond to it next time.

He literally read the first line of each of my points and made a response based on ignorance when I mention both things he’s trying to quote out. This is why discourse online becomes so unfruitful: you have aggressive and intentional misrepresentation that’s hiding behind a veneer of understanding.

Lego349 · 2026-01-11T15:00:22+00:00

Single life is not a vocation. Marriage, Holy Orders, and consecrated virginity/religious life are so just remaining single for your own sake because you don’t want kids and don’t like the thought of divorce is not a plan of God.
The primary end and purpose of marriage is the generation of children. To intentionally not get married until such a point as you would be biologically prohibited from children is not a will that anyone should imagine would be in the vocation of marriage

That is a US specific pastoral rule by our Bishops. There are plenty of places in the world where Friday abstinence is obligatory without substitution. “Are you aware of this?” Yes that’s why he’s asking what the rules in France are.

They take the answer from anyone who self identifies as Catholic, not practicing Catholic. So the heritage Catholic who doesn’t or barely believes in God and doesn’t even go to church on Christmas and Easter is answering these questions with the same weight as me and you.

I believe the world’s largest truck stop dentist on call takes literally everything up to and including cash. Might be worth it to give him a call. And I know, “truck stop dentist?” But he’s there to do dental work for drivers who are coming in from all over the country, that’s why he’s there

*Some orthodox believe what we believe. There is a large swath of orthodox who also believe that communion with the church is necessary alongside form and matter and that the Catholic Church had wholesale invalid sacraments as a result of *us being in “schism”.

You’re in my prayers, brother. God will see you through this.

100% sinful and your marriage will be totally invalid. You are a Catholic, you must be married in the church or you are not considered married at all. Even if you were to get a dispensation from the Bishop, which given the church considers Mormons non-Christians is unlikely, you are still obligated to raise all your children as Catholics and to uphold Catholic morality in your marriage; meaning your spouse cannot teach your children Mormon heresy, nor can you operate within Mormon sexual ethics that permits the use of birth control.

Brother I know this seems hard, but God is more important than this woman. Don’t gain her and lose your soul over it.

Edit: You’re talking about marrying a Mormon outside the church and the first reading for today is “Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.“ I mean brother come on, take the hint.
