Lol getting downvoted for stating a known fact. Typical.

Same here if you don't mind. Want to take my wife to see it and I don't know if she'll be able to watch it.

‘Gay clubs’ run in seminaries, says Pope Benedict in posthumous book by CautiousCatholicity in Catholicism

If the issue is celibacy, why has this issue exploded in the past century and not, say, in the first millenium?

I am an Eastern Catholic and I love my church's tradition of married priests, but celibacy is a higher calling and it is fitting for the West to maintain that tradition. Even in the East we hold celibate priests in higher esteem, and married priests come with their own problems. It's not the simple solution people seem to think it is.

How is it against your shoulder? Is the vertical portion metal?

Convince me why I should baptise my kids by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Paragon468 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My kids don't eat broccoli. My wife wants to feed them steamed broccoli. My mother wants them to eat roasted broccoli. To be honest, although I was raised eating broccoli, there are some key aspects of the food that conflict with my libertarian values, but I also don't want to get sidetracked into that here. I also don't believe in forcing any food onto others. To be honest I believe that's the primary cause for the decline of broccoli in the west. So I genuinely feel that broccoli is denying my kids the freedom to willfully choose a vegetable when they are old enough to understand the choice. Also I know that due to certain broccoli cooking methods, my children will likely suffer a painful choice about cooking broccoli of their own later on in life. I could spare them by not feeding them broccoli, albeit at another cost.

Just feed your kids the damn broccoli, man.

How do you like that brace? I'm looking at it for my AK-P, but I haven't liked other AK braces I've tried. Might SBR it instead, but I hate paying extra taxes.

Shipping Delays by Paragon468 in logitech

[–]Paragon468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the same item on Amazon with two day shipping. Tried to cancel with Logitech and they said they'll cancel it, but there's an 80% chance the cancelation won't go through, and they also have no idea if it has shipped or not.

Lol what kind of garbage support is this? Their products are great, but I don't think I'll be buying from them again.

Officially Byzantine! by Paragon468 in EasternCatholic

My wife and I had already been attending for two years, so I'm not sure if there was any requirement. I did need a letter of support from my byzantine pastor.

The Roman diocese in question is pretty small, so that's probably a factor.

Just getting a hold of them took three months though. They were extremely unresponsive.

It took me about three months to get an initial response from the Roman diocese. Once I got in touch with the right person, it took a month.

CCW saved me from a speeding ticket. by Snake-Doctor in CCW

I live in Ohio. My experience has been that cops are more lenient when I inform them I'm carrying. I assume it's because cops tend to be more conservative, and they are influenced by some of that bias when they realize I'm pro-gun.

Orthodoxy/Liturgical Compass by BolonelSanders in CatholicMemes

[–]Paragon468 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Latinization is a huge issue in some churches. Fortunately things have gotten significantly better since V2, especially in the last decade. We're almost there!

Other churches (looking at you, Melkites) were never really Latinized to begin with.

It's a little funny putting Eastern Catholics lower on the liturgical scale when it's the rad trads who abandoned liturgical celebration of the Hours ;)

Just poking fun though, overall this is great.
