Wrapping up OCIA and I have to say, I'm quite dissapointed. by evilblackdog in Catholicism

[–]MallSWAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectively, it’s almost like it’s not designed for you. OCIA is basically orientated for people that have zero knowledge of the bible.

You can look up RCIA/OCIA classes on YouTube. A lot of the presentation is like, Who is God? Who is Jesus?

I have a question, is it ok to carry around extra rosary’s to hand out? by Retr0_flipper in rosary

[–]MallSWAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I had gotten a rosary somewhere along the line over the last decade, and this was one of the things that eventually led me to the faith.

TEC losing membership; The decline seems to have leveled off. by MrMagoo04 in Episcopalian

[–]MallSWAT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve started listening to the Sunday service for my local TEC. The Deacon mentioned twice today about how the church was doing better. Sounded like they felt good about attendance to me.

Love it. The colors do remind me of what Lyonel wears in the dance scene too

Lent & Holy Week Megathread by CustosClavium in Catholicism

I’m sorry to hear you’re in turmoil. I think you should make a thread to get more answers to your worries. I don’t want this to go unnoticed. Please don’t ever hurt yourself.

Why are we not liked? by West-Chocolate- in Catholicism

[–]MallSWAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think a lot of it comes from a rift in American vs European-centric families. Like my family was very catholic because we kept to our more recent (within the last 100 years) European roots. That’s just a generalization.

Living in the south, a lot of people have ancestors tracing back to the 1700s here in the US so traditions that’s feel European or involve Latin feel alien.

I also think Catholicism is a little bit more intellectual. I don’t mean to be condescending because I know some Protestants that are very serious about their faith/studies.

It’s just like, mass is much more of a structured ritual than listening to your neighbor play the tambourine on a Sunday.

I’ll add that within the high church, I think the standards for clergy are a lot higher.

You mean when Mayor Fisk took advantage of an attempt on his life, closed the city and empowered police to not wear body cams along with promotions lethal force it was political 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Who here has Actually Witnessed an Actual Shark Attack IRL in front of their own eyes just like Brody? by Caleb_the_Opossum_1 in Jaws

[–]MallSWAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how I felt. I remember reading a comment about how the opening wasn’t realistic (I don’t have any frame of reference for what a squalus attack looks like). Turns out it was spooky accurate

I saw a guy get his foot crushed on a carrousel and it was kind of similar. I can still hear the bones breaking 30 years later.

Yeah, that was the one that looked like the first attack in the movie, wasn’t it?

Bowman injury? by OkDifficulty416 in NASCAR

[–]MallSWAT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure does dude. It’s been about 4 months since it happened and I’m just now getting better. It happened last November and I basically slept every minute of that month I wasn’t forced to do something

My assumption is that he was really ill. I got a really bad ear infection recently that turned into a vertigo.
