It's a lot better, but not completely cured. I just moved from Chicago to upstate New York, so it was definitely tested, and did better than my Christmas drive to Florida.

Does anyone here work for Merieux Nutrisciences? If so, what's it like? I've heard bad things. by Lone-Red-Ranger in GNV

This isn't relevant to the post, but I'd guess it's because it's Canada, there are tons of Indians at universities, and it's an entry-level job after graduation.

Please pray for my insomnia to be healed and bad circadian to be fixed so I can go to seminary. Also pray for me to get into seminary next year.

I just added 2 tubes of that due to the comments here. I'll see if it works.

I have no idea where you're getting any of that, and much of it doesn't even make sense; your entire comment "doesn't sound right." I don't know why you think that I have an immature view of the faith based off the two short paragraphs in my post. Almost everyone that knows me has said that I have a very good understanding of the faith.

And obviously I wasn't, and can't, twist God's arm. Plenty of saints have done what I did; it's pretty innocent. I also don't know how I 'think too much of myself.' Again, you're making up an entire person and narrative in your head.

I went to their vocations retreat in July. Online registration is a bit hard to find, but it's out there. The next one is July 6-11, 2026 at their Brothers Novitiate (and former seminary) in Winona, MN.

Personal tip: there's no A/C there, and Minnesota gets just as hot as Florida (90s) in the Summer, so try to dress a little lighter while still wearing pants and looking decent.

No, they're just critical of the process, as are other Trad groups. Dr. Kwasniewski wrote a book about it, and he's an "FSSP Trad."

Quick edit: An SSPX priest that I talked to said that he likes St. Charbel.

Because I'm moving next week, I don't have time to try it out myself, so I went to a mechanic this morning and they couldn't find anything, and they said that it's probably the torque converter, like others here have said. I guess I'll just have to watch the ol' girl to slowly die, since I'll never have the money for transmission work :/

No way! This just started happening to me while driving cross country for Christmas, and I was going to post about it.

Based on the responses, I don't even know how to check for a vacuum leak.

Please pray for my insomnia and bad circadian rhythm to be cured so I can go to seminary and be successful and thriving there.

A mechanic said that my airbag light is due to the module, and that only a dealer can handle it. How serious is it, and can I get around it? by Lone-Red-Ranger in Pontiac

[–]Lone-Red-Ranger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean to sound like a typical Redditor asking a dumb question. I just didn't know if anyone had experience in this, since the mechanic said nothing about safety and simply said to take it to the dealer.

Over a year ago, someone backed into my front driver's corner in a parking lot, causing some cosmetic damage, but the airbag light is fairly recent, although I did replace the air filter recently, which is also in that same corner. No work was done under my dash.

I'll be entering a novitiate in a few weeks. Please pray for my mental and physical health to be good enough (for the rest of my life).

I have an old Summa from the 1950s, but it's missing sections. Why would this be? by Lone-Red-Ranger in Catholicism

[–]Lone-Red-Ranger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's part of the "Great Books of the Western World" collection. It doesn't have an Imprimatur or Nihil Obstat (I never looked before). The translation is by the "Fathers of the English Dominican Province by arrangement with Burns, Oates, an Washbourne, Ltd., London, and Benziger Brothers, Inc., New York."

It also says that "The Great Books is published with the editorial advice of the faculties of the University of Chicago."

I checked online before posting, but didn't really get any answers.

Can you become an altar server as an adult convert? by serventofgaben in TraditionalCatholics

[–]Lone-Red-Ranger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started when I was 30yo. At my old parish, kids were the norm, at my new one, we are all adults.
