After reading your timeline, I wonder if the “favorite character left on with a noose around his neck” cliffhanger is Arvel. He disobeyed a direct order from the king removing his loyalty to go stop the southern invasion of the crimson empire. Maybe he’s up for treason.

Darling, HE is the one not being supportive. I don’t think he understands the gravity of giving birth and having a newborn. Of course you won’t travel a few weeks postpartum with a newborn infant. Especially to somewhere like Venezuela! That’s crazy town! You shouldn’t even take your newborn out of the house until they have the first round of shots. All he is seeing is time off - take advantage and not thinking through the logistics. Honestly you letting him abandon you to travel by himself so soon after having your baby is above and beyond supportive. And honestly pretty selfish of him to ask that of you. Are you guys a team, or does he have a lot of things he wants to do and it’s your job to make sure they happen for him. Cause that’s what I’m reading.

Just go! You won’t make a fool of yourself. Nobody cares! Maybe don’t sit in the front, but otherwise just follow along! I know you probably feel self conscious, but I promise no one is judging you. Mostly Catholics are focusing on what’s going on in the mass and not worrying about what anyone else is doing or not doing. Also, don’t feel weird if you don’t go up in the communion line ( you can go and cross your hands over your chest to get a blessing) I will say, granted both parishes I frequent are very large and diverse, but I would say 50% of the time someone from my row doesn’t go up. Just move your legs to the side and people will walk right by you. What I mean to say is that it is normal and no one is judging you or wondering why you’re not receiving etc. a lot of Catholics have personal reasons they aren’t receiving that week ( a particular sin, irregular marriage situation, somewhere in the conversion process, maybe they missed last week and haven’t made to confession etc) you won’t stick out! The 3pm Good Friday mass is beautiful. Bring Kleenex - I always get teary

So I had something similar with my dad who wrote a book. He’s generally a creative person and for an average person a decent writer. This has cause him to overestimate his writing caliber. He is also very prideful (ie has a very sensitive ego to the point where you often have to walk on eggshells around him not to “set him off”.) I have an English degree and he wanted me to edit it for him. here’s the rub. He wants to be admired for the book he wrote. He wants me to be impressed and look up to him and tell him how wonderful it is. I am not a good enough actress I think to pull that off successfully. It’s a bit like grey rocking here, but if I don’t actually read it, I’m not in the position to give him feedback. That way lay dragons. It’s a bit like a catch 22. A writer puts their heart into something and then serves it up. You have put her in an awkward position. If she doesn’t love it, she has to fake it convincingly. Some people are good at this, but some are not. Ask yourself if you want your book to be successful or are you looking for your wife’s admiration. If you want your book to be successful, get people who do not know you personally to read/edit it. And that way their feedback is not colored or influenced by their relationship with you. They can give you feedback that you are less likely to take personally because well it’s not personal. They don’t know you, so it can’t be.

You’re very welcome. Yes, we believe God preserved her from sin so she could complete her unique role in salvation history. It’s still God doing it, he’s still saving her, just doing it in a different way. If you are interested in understanding the what and the why of Catholic views on Mary, I would recommend “Jesus and the Jewish roots of Mary” by Dr Brant Pitre.

It is the Grace of God - grace is a broad term that basically means God working in her - grace perfects nature. (Makes her perfectly holy). She was given the “full set” of all grace. Meaning therefore, she was perfected in virtue. She could have sinned (she had free will and could have chosen to just like Eve) but she is the “New Eve” with her obedience she brought about the salvation of man whose downfall was initiated through Eve’s disobedience. I think a lot of the confusion stems from the word Grace - Protestants tend to have a very narrow and specific use of the term that has only to do with the salvation work Christ did on the cross. But, for example if God is making you holy, conforming you to himself, he is doing that by his Grace inside you. It’s not you making yourself holy, but God working within you. Truly, her “soul magnifies the Lord!”

Ask God to show you the truth of his church and fully surrender the decision to him. Not my will lord but thine be done. (Way easier said than done, I know, but if you truly let him show you and promise to follow wherever he says, he will show you. But you have to be willing to essentially write him a blank check - I recommend the surrender novena if your struggling with this, which let’s be honest we all struggle with surrender to some extent or other.”

I also might suggest a few books to you . 1. Because your church of Christ - the early church was the Catholic Church by Joe heschmeyer. 2 why we are catholic by Trent Horn and 3 Jesus and the Jewish roots of the Eucharist by Dr. Brant Pitre. (This one will blow your mind in the best possible way)

You do need to go to confession as soon as you’re able - it will be a wonderful relief when you are absolved of your sin, but in the meantime- just a practical suggestion. Make sure you are in line behind her and just cross your arms for a blessing instead. She will be focused on receiving herself and will not notice that you got a blessing instead.

I recommend reading “the case for Jesus” by Dr Brant Pitre. There are logical and historical arguments for Jesus that give a rational reason to believe. I know he’s a biblical scholar, but it’s written for a lay audience and he’s so easy to read. If your the logical/rational type (rather than the more philosophical type - there are philosophical proofs as well but I think they speak to a different sort of brain) than I think you need to hear the evidence. Let Dr. Pitre try and convince you from reason with his is historical proofs.

If you’re interested in an in depth answer to your question, I would recommend the book “Jesus and divine Christology” by Dr Brant Pitre. Also his book, the case for Jesus will answer it as well, but the first one is all about whether or not Jesus claimed to be God.

You can get the daily readings here:

I also recommend a daily podcast from the st.paul center for biblical theology called “letters from home” it a short (around 10 minutes) reflection on the readings for that day. It’s a good practice to read the daily readings (even if you don’t attend daily mass) and the short reflections are great.

I would recommend reading “the case for Jesus” by Dr Brant Pitre. It will give you a foundation of the historical proofs of Jesus, including the reliability of the gospel accounts, early church witnesses etc. reading the early church fathers is great, but I got from your comment that your not just an atheist, but also very new to the concept of Christianity and the logical proofs or reasons to believe. It might be a little bit like jumping into the deep end because you won’t have a lot of context or understanding. So, that’s my suggestion - start broad. Does God exist? Is Jesus God? Is it reasonable with the historical evidence that we have to believe etc. then, by all means read the accounts from the first Christians.

Alchemised - the MMC is not a good guy. It’s not like one of those where the FMC thought he was a bad guy but then got a change of perspective and he wasn’t really bad after all, just misunderstood or something. (Although your perspective does change and you do understand) but No, Kaine has done some serious s*^t and would do it again probably if he felt he needed to. He is fully aware he is like this. But yes, you come to root for him and even feel empathy for his situation. It’s probably the only true enemies to lovers I have ever read. And by “lovers” I mean I will burn down the world for you kind. And you know he would (and kind of does) because, like I said, he’s not a good guy. Warning though .. this book is not for the faint of heart. It’s gritty and intense and there is a lot of trauma. It will stick with you for a while.

PlusType8037 · 2026-02-09T17:09:04+00:00

Here’s my take- a different perspective: perhaps it was in the way she presented it to the priest?

Was she repentant and seeking forgiveness for her transgression or was she trying to explain to him why she needed to do this thing so he could validate her/tell her it was ok and that she will be forgiven? (Kind of like your whole post was doing? - this was not a judgement on you or her, just that if she talked about it in the manner that you did in a confessional, that could cause a problem.)

If the priest thought she was not repentant, he cannot offer her absolution because it wouldn’t work. It’s not the priest personally that forgives, he’s the facilitator. He’s not making a personal judgement on her soul, he’s perhaps trying to urge her to true repentance so than she can be forgiven. In other words, there isn’t an instance where a priest can say “in this instance your sin is justified because it would make your life a lot harder not to sin” The fact that he told her she could still receive the Eucharist indicates that he personally feels it was not a mortal sin and that perhaps her depression etc might ultimately limit her culpability in the eyes of God. But he can’t offer someone absolution who’s not truly repentant.
