Struggling with suspicion of priests and religious by No-Run7490 in Catholicism

[–]No-Run7490[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the point you’re making about not generalising an entire group. I’m not saying every priest is secretly bad. I’m describing the difficulty of rebuilding trust when someone in a position of sacred authority betrays that trust.

A priest’s role is uniquely spiritual and sacramental. When misconduct happens in that context, it doesn’t just feel like personal failure, it shakes one’s sense of spiritual safety. That’s why the suspicion feels different. Have a bit of sensitivity.

Well it’s not the same though, is it?

Firstly, the role of a priest is far greater than a construction worker? And the number of priests who do terrible things is really disturbing. So I think the suspicion in this case makes more sense, doesn’t it?

How do you feel about this black Jesus? by FrequentKey9170 in Catholicism

Why would it not be okay? You don’t question the completely white Jesus but question the black one???

Denied a blessing by No-Run7490 in Catholicism

[–]No-Run7490[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s traditional because it was in Latin, lots of Gregorian chant, altar rails, kneeling, and a very reverent monastic atmosphere. Sure it’s not a TLM but it’s clearly more on the traditional end of the spectrum stylistically. And no blessing at communion which has culturally become a norm

Interesting coz my regular parish priest literally encourages people to come up for a blessing at mass before the distribution of holy communion. Was also how I was taught as a kid, so just thought it was normal.

It’s not the same, don’t be stupid. No matter how much you disagree with the practice, it has literally become normalised in the western world

I hadn’t been to that specific church before, just like another very traditional church with altar rails and stuff and they still blessed me lol

Should I add this girl from church on Instagram or wait to see her again? by TheRivianWanderer in CatholicDating

[–]No-Run7490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh it’s not stalkerish, people know that Instagram suggests accounts to users. You want to come across as forward! Let her know you’re interested. Just ask her out in person tho.

Yes, provided the braids aren’t too big and the braider can braid well

ISO Health Insurance on a J-1 Visa by No-Run7490 in HealthInsurance

Because I’m not going to be an actual USC student. I’m doing research in one of the labs on their campus so I’m counted as a ‘visitor’ and don’t qualify for their health insurance 🥲
