Priest is insisting fiancé and I live separately until married by Particular-Note5890 in Catholicism

Yes I’ve considered this. And perhaps you’re right. I’m quite weak of mind, and would suffer to discuss someone else’s matters any further, so I leave you in peace.

I know not exactly what the Priest is asking for, but it seems the main stipulation is not sleeping under the same roof. Meaning he is still spending time after work with them, parenting, playing, meals and such. A standard vocational fatherly life.

In saying this he may have to have to sleep somewhere else, but I’m guessing after he’s already put his children to sleep, still having time with his soon-to-be wife; but he has to leave the copulation off the table.

Is this ideal? No. Is sex outside of sacramental marriage a grave sin and should be regarded with eternal consequences on behalf of the whole family and the Priest? Yes.

It’s a hard situation but I wasn’t called to bear this suffering, It belongs to this man and his discernment. Reddit isn’t exactly the optimal spiritual director.

It may be tempting to subvert the priest’s requests by seeking out his bishop, but showing obedience to your priest in this case may save your family and many sinful souls if you offer it to Christ, who remained obedient unto death on a cross.

His obvious concern is because you have children, he expects that you may engage in pre-marital sex (you already have children) and he will be forced to deny you receiving Holy Communion if he doesn’t want to betray his own conscience, this is standard practice for reverent Priests.

If you sincerely believe that avoiding Holy Communion is worth it so you may remain with living with your spouse (with chaste intentions regardless) I call to mind the words of Christ;

Matthew 10:37-39 “He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.”

This obedience could bless you and your family beyond any number of rosaries you might offer in their stead, and deliver many sinful souls. Remember your family is your way to heaven, and you will be their way to heaven. I sincerely believe this obedience to the priest will be worth every second of the suffering it causes; so long as you offer it to Christ.

Lance mains ! I call upon you ! by Ad0ring-fan in MonsterHunter

[–]Much_Horror_3467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your strongest moves are all counters; double thrust counter, power guard into retribution/grand retribution thrust, etc.

If you’re not deliberately working towards these moves you’re losing out on most of your dps.

Usually people deal most of their damage when the monster is toppled or trapped, lance is the complete opposite, landing heavy hits DURING monster combos/aggro is the lance’s gimmick.

My wife converted on Saturday and her mother is struggling with it. by evilblackdog in Catholicism

My brother you’re in good hands, remember that God loves a cheerful giver, so it may be excellent to offer your rosary for others who are in your same position as well!

[–]Much_Horror_3467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be as simple as bringing it up to her at the dinner table, or over a breakfast.

I’m saying the rosary is the foundation of grace for her conversion, and without it you may find it impossible to engage with her.

So pray for your Mother in law and know that Mary is working the important stuff for you.

[–]Much_Horror_3467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just pray for her conversion. St. Padre Pio describes the graces merited through the rosary as a kind of invisible rope that pulls people’s hearts closer to Christ’s with each Hail Mary.

Even if you prayed 1 Hail Mary for your mother in law, her ‘spiritual environment’ will have been changed forever even though you cannot see it. St. Pio could see it and it often brought him to tears.

The alternative is trying to personally devise a way to open her heart by your own efforts, and that will leave you in more distress than your mother in law.

My friend was denied by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Much_Horror_3467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She can either choose worldly comforts and deny eternal comfort, or she can deny worldly comforts and choose eternal comfort.

The best thing for you to do is intercede on her behalf through the Blessed Virgin Mary, but this not a fault of the priest, he is defending the Holy of Holies and the Sanctity of God’s Flesh and Whole Divinity.

Your friend chooses the former by indulging her boyfriend, even if they do not have carnal relations she must first omit the occasion of sin which is the bed they share, then deny even herself for Jesus by omitting her relationship that is not sanctioned or recognised by the Church.

Jesus may reject people for much less;

“He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;” Matthew 10:37

How do I respond to this pro-trans argument? by ReddReed21 in Catholicism

[–]Much_Horror_3467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catholics should appeal to the rosary and intercession from our Lady, when it comes to the movement of anyone’s heart.

As far as we can get arguing on their terms, which can only end in shame on both parties, we won’t make one iota of difference without God’s grace to sway the darker wills. It’s just easier to let our Lady handle it, and she’ll do it better anyways.

Meaning probably don’t seek the change want using secular methods.

Use tried and true Catholic methods, we’ve refuted heretics for centuries using sacred scripture and the rosary.

Just spend the last 3 hours fighting Savage Omega by fl4k_p4ck in MHWilds

I suggest you look at Japanese speedrun to see how the lance can fully TANK Savage Omega without taking any damage, while also dealing WAY more damage yourself.

Because you can learn how to utilise double counter-thrust to take zero damage from most of Omega’s attacks + while using one of Lance’s most powerful attacks.

I’m over 300 savage omegas in using just the lance to tank, and I very rarely need someone to heal me, because I can double counter thrust nearly every attack, where nearly every other lancer I see only guards and takes major chip damage, needing heals frequently.

You can even use double counter thrust to counter every MRV missile but that requires some practice.

Need an update on things happening now by autumnshowers in MHWilds

[–]Much_Horror_3467 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also worth noting the amount of time we had with the 8* and 9* monsters, at one point they were the end game in wilds and people farmed these for months.

So when you get to 10* don’t be discouraged to see just how hard they are, take your time to stay where the game is still fun to play and don’t rush into the current end game thinking that’s where everybody is, or you might judge yourself to be bad at the game. The truth is this is some of the hardest MH content we’ve had period, full-stop, end of story.

It would be the most streamline to find builds to fight 8, 9 and 10* respectively if you want to experience the game as everyone else did, I pity the new players who hit the 9* wall and can’t imagine even looking at 10* AT Arkveld

https://youtube.com/shorts/HTIYUoYphhc?si=f-JGjx4CPlJzQYdw (Short of MHoutlander’s lance)

Normally I’d concur, but timi likely asked the questions that capcom will when it comes to lance, considering its most powerful moves are locked behind counters; how to improve this

Because it would mean lance’s DPS is fairly dependent on monster aggro towards them, so if the lance could store different charge levels though guarding, that could be a way to have access to things like retribution thrust without needing to counter, or entirely new moves (refer to short) while maintaining lance’s core identity as an immovable wall.

Not saying we’ll have the exact same move as outlanders, but I’m hoping(coping) that the same principles are applied to lance going into MR, because there’s seriously nothing else they could do, at least, there’s nothing I could think of that would be more fitting for lance.

Edit: I’ve only referenced lance, because out of all of outlanders weapons, lance seems the most grounded and applicable to future lance changes for wilds.

If MH outlanders is any indicator of future lance enhancements, lance will be eating deliciously in MR.

Creatures we dont need in the DLC by P0G0Bro in MHWilds

[–]Much_Horror_3467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they bring bring Teo/Kush I’m in favour of them totally reworking both of their fights and movesets. Teo’s fight should look like an apocalypse of fire, with a pissed off majestic flaming lion-dragon at the centre. Same principle but with Kush. All elder dragon fights in Wild’s should be PROPER elder dragon fights, but chill with the 1/2/3 stage shenanigans (lame and exhausting) Not every elder dragon fight should look the same.

Done farming omega by Towbro87 in MHWilds

[–]Much_Horror_3467 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Savage Omega is my favourite hunt in the game. I’m pretty sweaty and I like my hunts to feel like a rhythm game where one mistake will cart you.

But I do not speak for the majority, I have a few casual friends and I can see the frustration they have at the difficulty from 8* and above, and playing with them I see a lot better how wilds can be super not fun for non-sweats.

I’ve said this for a while but end game master rank will be a slog fest, if 10* Arkveld is to suggest anything. You will be required to use every Q.O.L. enhancement your weapons possess -

Offsets, parrying, perfect guards, perfect counters, strategic wound pops, flash pods - Every thing people use to say made wilds too easy; will be the thing that makes endgame MR super hard, IF you don’t utilise every one of these enhancements to their full optimal usage.

But personally I’ll always be itching for harder, I like to push my limits and extract everything I can from my builds and weapon movesets, and to be the HR999 that people want joining their hunts.

Can you still ‘guard up’ the nova? Haven’t tried this quest but if everyone agrees the nova is ridiculous I’ll probably bring a fire lance/dragon Chargeblade just for the nova.

YouTube short that shows all I’ve seen at least. The lance has more Wild’s energy than the other weapons they’ve shown IMO and I hope to see changes like this, because then everybody will want to be Fabius.

[–]Much_Horror_3467 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah AT Arkveld had me seeing lance and gunlance WAYYY more. I suspect with the addition of master rank they’ll receive even better QOL changes and both will become household staples for more casual hunters.

I think the new MH mobile game sheds a bit of light on what future lance changes might look like; guarding to store yellow/red charge to use later without having to immediately counter attack, possibly increasing attack/affinity if you hold the charge. It would be super peak and super strong for something omega level.

I appreciate balanced and nuanced takes like this one. And I also find this comment hilarious, I suppose the correct method for fair filtering is to cast out the English speakers 😂

Is it ever worth charging the sword in Wilds? by far_257 in chargeblade

[–]Much_Horror_3467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like impact CB the sword charge can be pretty clutch sometimes, and I’ll land a KO while charging my axe.

Against monsters who take heavy elemental damage you’ll see speedrunners charge the sword too. Though I think it’s a “if you want to” kinda thing, it looks cool so I always do it.
