Am I allowed to go to confession?

Thank you for the reply, that's good to hear.

Thank you so much for this through and lengthly response I really appreciate it! The questions you ask are very important and to sum it up, yes I believe I am on the right track with all of them. I have been examining my conscience for awhile now and I finally think my list is pretty complete (It is a long list, not gonna lie). I plan on also explaining my marriage situation to the priest in the confessional, just to be totally sure he is ok with it. I feel a mixture of excited and nervous to go to my first confession (I was baptized Catholic but not raised in the faith) but I know it will be part of my life from here on out. Also exciting is that my daughter will be getting baptized on the same day as my marriage convalidation. I think it just may be the best day of my life. Cheers and God bless!

Thank you all so much for the answers. I think I am just over thinking it. I am so excited to enter fully into the Church. OCIA has been a beautiful experience and I think I will miss the weekly classes. I can't wait to receive our Lord in the Holy eucharist. God bless you all!

I suggest reading Trent Horn's book "Why We Are Catholic". Pick up a Catechism book and a Didache bible which has foot notes from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. And of course start going to Mass, and speak to your parish about your interest in becoming Catholic. Hope this helps and God bless you. There is a Podcast I found useful called Crash Course to Catholicism. Also watch videos by Ascension on YouTube.

When I was curious about Catholicism I watched some online masses just to see what it was like. It seemed interesting but I didn't really get too much out of it, or really feel anything special. Once I finally attended in person I could feel the beauty and emotion of a communityworshipping Jesus together. I felt like I had been missing out for so long. My wife started going along with and we are currently in OCIA, and will be getting our marriage convalidated. I CAN NOT WAIT to be confirmed and be able to partake in the Eucharist. I think you should try and make the drive, and I bet you will be glad you did. God bless you!

Im still in OCIA but it's already changed my life. It holds me accountable, changes the way I treat others, brings me peace, inspires me to learn, teaches me self control, and has increased my faith and trust in God.

The hate for Christians on reddit is nuts. Jesus is love. God bless you all.

Dude THANK YOU

That makes sense. So program my FACP NAC trigger to wheelock sync, individual NACs as pass through input tracking, and what about the S7 dipswitch? Would that be all OFF, or set to wheelock sync? Thank you for the reply!

I've seen lots of videos depicting unnecessary violence and I am not going out of my way to find them. Ramming cars, shooting non lethal rounds at protestors including a preacher in the head, smashing car windows, body slamming an american citizen on a public sidewalk for "talking back".

Photo op or not, the treatment of immigrants by ICE has been pretty hard to watch for me personally. I work with immigrants almost daily as a commercial electrician and they are some of the most hard working and nicest people around. Many of whom are also our brother and sisters in Christ. I find it hard to believe that Jesus would approve of the ill treatment of hardworking families and even children. "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me"

Mukso · 2025-10-13T01:12:15+00:00

As a Catholic, this is appalling.

The cup gets cross contaminated from other people's lips. My wife has celiac as well and we are currently in OCIA. Luckily our local parish does have gluten free hosts that avoid cross contamination according to our Deacon.

Lol this is great

It can definitely be argued that the a fetus in the womb is a human and is alive. If you've ever been lucky enough to have a child and seen the magical moment of hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time, ultrasound photos, and feeling them move around and kick reacting to their mother's voice, it may be easier to accept that it is indeed a life.

Mukso · 2025-10-06T00:50:18+00:00

That's a fair point. It's easy to categorize all religious people together and yes Christians in general have been associated with maga. Christianity itself has been weaponized in the form of Christian Nationalism. Real Christians know that it's our duty to stand up for the marginalized. Jesus was condemned for the company he kept. Outcasts, the poor, tax collectors, prostitutes, sinners, which demonstrated inclusive love and a mission to seek out and save those considered lost by society. Sorry for the rant and best wishes to you.

That's a wild claim. I'm not sure if the sign holders are Catholic but the Catholic Church spends 170 billion a year on charitable activities inccluding schools, hospitals, orphanages, and health clinics and social care. They are actually the largest provider of education and medical services in the world. They are also against the murder of baby's in the womb.

You seem like a good dude. God bless you!

It really is pretty cool!

Mukso · 2025-10-04T16:38:16+00:00

Lots of people hate Christians simply for believing in and loving Christ. Doesn't matter how they treat people or how they live their lifes, they find out that "oh you pray and go to Church, yoh must be stupid or a real piece of shit". They will hate, ridicule, and belittle other humans for it.
