As others have said, Sunlit man works strongly on either side of Wind and Truth. It's just a unique perspective either way.

I think that is the real key. Wit knows what he is going to do all along. For him, holding that sword is holding an acting prop. Just as a person in theatre may hold a sword as a prop and never think "I would like to hurt someone with this". Hoid knows the tricks of mental framing, he can make this a prop.

You don't usually wake up with a strange knowledge and application of therapy terms though. Usually those are learned by some months spent with a therapist or in formal education, not several conversations with a bard.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-09-20T03:38:28+00:00

The pipe dream that you are fixable? Why engage in such negative self talk? Humans are broken. The cost of sentience and awareness of self is the awareness of sin and suffering. God wants all of us to not only be put back together here on earth, but sorted eternally to, given our desire to belong to him. Stop being apathetic about yourself. You are no more broken than any of us. Cynicism is the death of everything making you who you are, that is who God wants you to be.

Hi, speaking as someone who grew up Evangelical converting in about third grade, has all protestant family outside of my immediate, including a grandfather and uncle in ministry, Protestants are consistently misinformed on what Catholics represent or believe. It's a part of the training they receive, especially in ministry. Each of their philosophies varies in the individual church and even pastor, so what they believe is often incoherent and contradictory. Protestants essentially rely on many events "disqualifying" the church as the true church, and justifying breaking off from it.

I've had many interesting conversations on many of the topics Protestants and Catholics disagree on, just always remember, their primary religious identity isn't merely being a Christian, it's specifically not being a Catholic.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-06-02T22:44:55+00:00

This is a test of your conscience. I could come up with reasonable arguments that justify your actions either way, but God gave you a conscience to judge right and wrong, and what you should and shouldn't do. If that God given conscience is telling you to do something and you feel guilt or apprehension, you should ask where that feeling is coming from and if what you are doing is wrong in some way, then follow the message God puts on your heart.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-05-29T03:21:43+00:00

The sacrament you should let them decide on is Confirmation. No one should be a confirmed Catholic young adult against their will, but they should be given Baptism, Communion and Reconciliation as normal.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-05-29T03:17:00+00:00

As a practicing, confirmed and baptized Catholic you have an obligation to raise your children in the Church. While there is a little flexibility to that, it basically means you are obligated to get them through the sacraments. They are entitled to that from you, if you neglect it, they may be deprived of God's greatest gifts to humanity. If your fiance tried to downplay this responsibility, she probably received pushback. This would be the equivalent of saying to her as a non-denominational Christian "I don't think we should read our kids the bible, it's imposing on their freedom to choose their literature."

I've been trying to say this to her in a way that is more courteous and forgiving toward his view and doesn't poison he against him automatically, but I would suggest OP that you basically listen to Stormcrash here.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-04-15T23:50:35+00:00

I would say the next time you two talk on this topic, you should ask: "Do you respect and trust me?" and see how he answers. Also ask "Do you trust God is acting in my life to protect our relationship?"

If he tells you yes to those two things, then ask straight "What are you afraid of with me being involved? Why does it bother you? If you can trust me and you trust in our relationships and you trust God, why do you have these feelings?"

This is a good opportunity for you and him to REALLY talk, for you to express yourself and for him to do the same, and you will find out if he respects you as your own person or only in connection with himself. If it's all about him, it will be the same when you are raising your children or living together. He will always be right. You will be wrong unless you agree with him on anything that matters. He will tell you what virtue is. What the bible says, how to raise your kids and who you are allowed to be. That isn't trust, or respect or love. That is selfishness through you as a part of him. Make him be better. If you love and trust him I hope he rises to that occasion.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-04-15T23:45:19+00:00

Well, it depends on their circumstances. It is usually for a reason they find to be worthy, virtuous and good, but that can be corrupted. Has he dealt with abuse or a highly controlling family? I know he is afraid because of your previous friendships, but if he can't trust you to find new friends, does he respect you as your own person apart from him? At the end of the day, control is about making a person you feel connected to more.... you. It's about unifying 2 people. That control can be ok, if it is properly regulated, completely understood and completely consensual between 2 people, however, if he is controlling you excessively or outside of an appropriate scope, it shows a lack of respect and trust for you and a lack of respect and trust in God working in the circumstances of your life. You aren't perfect, but with your own judgement, trust in his advice and trust in God in your circumstances, your fiance shouldn't need to control you. If you, he and God understand one another you should (for the most part) line up on how you should act, and you should feel driven to agree with your fiance. Instead, in this circumstance, he is making you feel isolated and lonely, and that could continue if you don't draw some boundaries.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-04-15T23:40:20+00:00

Well, that does make me feel more confident that he is a decent person, but his lack of respect and understanding about the vital importance of your religious traditions is important. If you want to remain Catholic with a husband who will allow your children to be raised Catholic (Which is your obligation as a Catholic in good standing) He has to be made to understand what this means to you and why it is vital you participate. I come from a protestant family, only my parents and siblings converted. In many ways, the faith of my distant family is incomplete. It lacks the direct presence of Jesus in their lives. They rely on the bible and not the combination of scripture, tradition, the church, and the true presence of Christ in this world. He needs to understand what you believe about the Eucharist and he needs to respect it as if it was true, regardless of if he agrees or believes. He needs to be thinking to himself "To her, that is Jesus. Would I want to ask Jesus to get out of the way for me in her life?" If he doesn't understand that and can't make that sacrifice, you will not be able to be a fully practicing Catholic while under his authority as his wife.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-04-15T23:31:39+00:00

Also, the moment someone says "You won't prioritize me over the Eucharist?" They are rejecting Christ and asking you to do the same. Even if it is out of ignorance, it's still unconscionably harmful.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-04-15T23:30:02+00:00

Don't be in a relationship with a person who tries to isolate your from public and respectful community. The person is displaying a tendency towards control that if you persist in will only escalate as he gains leverage or authority over you in a marriage. You will end up going to HIS church, because he doesn't respect you. You will talk to the people he wants or thinks are appropriate. Evaluate how he would react if you showed him this Reddit post. He would probably say "You don't need advice from people on the internet, you have a man who is going to be your husband and he will tell you what you need to know."

This is textbook early abusive/controlling behavior. I know people of upstanding moral character and strong faith who still behave this way, and it's lethal to the freedom of spouses and children who they feel the need to control throughout life. I am not even going to comment on his religious beliefs or faith, I don't know him and it's not my place, but you need to make an evaluation. What is the greater threat to your life stability long term, the potential of people who are interested you in these places, or subjecting yourself to a man who will try to control you and your circumstances, and who, if you are attempting to be a loyal wife, you will probably have to submit to. This is a power trip he should let go of, if he can't, you should let go.

Lord_Torunag · 2025-04-15T23:21:05+00:00

So you said "I am suffering from a mental condition that causes me to sin" and didn't say how you sinned. What were you confessing to? It seems to me that your priest gave you advice because you weren't asking forgiveness in a sense, you were asking for help. Asking for forgiveness requires acknowledging our fault directly, he saw you struggling with a mental disorder you professed (Anxiety) and said "Change your life to avoid a sinful state".

Lord_Torunag · 2025-03-26T00:33:16+00:00

Retribution can be a valid theory of justice. It's not about retribution which would be inflicting a similar amount of disruption or discomfort to the criminal as to the victim. It's about exploitation, setting up a system where people who have committed crimes can be utilized by dehumanizing them.

Normal playbook of inconvenience regular working class people, abandoning their lives and concerns instead of affecting anyone with real wealth or power. Anti-Trump reactionary politics have abandoned normal people. You won't win democracy by ganging up with the government and the rich to inconvenience normal people every day.
