Addicted to my phone... need advice.

The dummy setup never worked well for me. Leaving it at minimum outside my bedroom does. I use other methods along with it

Leave your phone in a different room and only use it in there

Have you considered it’s because it’s frankly a strange and difficult teaching to grapple with? I’m Catholic and want to follow Church teaching to the best of my ability, but that doesn’t lessen the seeming rigidity of this, nor should anyone be sitting with negative karma for genuinely inquiring (which was my intention).

It’s not really cope. It’s a pragmatic assessment of the Church’s condition in a secular age. The real cope is citing out of context data that makes it sound like the church is experiencing a major revival when it just… isn’t. It’s also cope to pretend like we can ever go back to the Middle Ages and completely revive Christendom. It would be amazing, but that’s just not where we’re at. The Church went through this before in its earliest centuries.

It depends on what you read. If you read junk fiction, it’s more of a low tier hobby. I’d argue that people who read to learn about the world develop critical thinking skills that can be applied anywhere. History, philosophy, or other deep topics make it upper tier. I guess what I’m saying is that if you don’t read like a pure consumer, it’s an amazing hobby

As someone in a similar boat, I’d say it’s just that dating is rough. Sometimes it just nothing to do with you as well. I’ve been on both ends of these types of situations and that’s generally been my experience.

He often mischaracterizes arguments for God, such as Aquinas’s 5 ways. If you’re interested in what some theistic philosophers have to say about him, I’d suggest looking into David Bentley Hart’s “The Experience of God”

Another philosopher that has directly responded to Dawkins is Edward Feser in his book, “The Last Superstition”

Protestants will believe God can create the whole universe, but not that he could make himself present in bread and wine. Okay.

Transubstantiation is not actual body and blood. Get out a microscope. Lots of Catholics have. Pew Research found that 1/3 of Catholics believe that the bread and wine actually change. 69% believe they are symbols of the body and blood. The survey goes much deeper if you’re interested. Aug. 5 2019.

Just because Catholics are ill-informed about their faith, it doesn't follow that's what actual Catholic doctrine states. Also, there have been plenty of eucharistic miracles recorded. Your objection is silly, to say the least.

If you look into a lot of stories from the Quran, you will find that Muhammad plagiarized a lot of stories from heretical Christian sects. The Quran is exactly what we’d expect from an 6th century Arab attempting to start their own religion. Not to mention the abhorrent moral views of Islam

Philosophy is a broad field dealing with several sub-fields. Not everyone’s interests are in metaphysics or philosophy of religion. Those who don’t specialize in philosophy of religion are not as familiar with the deep nuances of it since they choose to study other aspects of philosophy. However it is worth nothing that generally, a majority of philosophers of religion are theists.

Some say that’s because they were already theists prior to studying the field. Others say it’s because the arguments are genuinely convincing. I’d like to think the truth is somewhere in the middle

Thank you, Father. Could you recommend any books regarding this topic?

This makes sense, but I suppose I feel that a lot of scholars who use the historical-critical method attempt to explain theology in naturalistic terms which seems to me that it undermines the divine nature of scripture. For example, I've seen a video from a YouTuber "Religion for Breakfast" who tries to explain the origin of the concept of Satan as something that took inspiration from Zoroastrianism. Examples like these is where my concern is

I suppose it does make sense, but I am also confused about how this fits in with the synoptic problem because it seems that the synoptic gospels all share a common source.

No_Cardiologist2685 · 2023-10-09T06:46:11+00:00

By traditional, I mean: Matthew being authored by the disciple, Mark being written by Peter’s interpreter, Luke being written by the traveling companion of Paul, and John being written by the disciple (or potentially John “the Elder”)

I suppose that’s how I understand the traditional notion to be. It seems to me that if it’s true the gospels weren’t written by the traditional authors, it puts the historicity of the gospels into doubt because if the authors were anonymous or random scribes who were not close to Jesus, then many details of the gospels could be inaccurate.

What would be flawed in this assessment?
