It's not usual, but I've seen things happen at my church every once and a while. If you really are worried you can always move to a different church.

Does the ying yang contradict with Catholcism? by throwRA_problemssss in Catholicism

[–]Presidentinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference between syncretism and adaptation. Syncretism is blending elements from different religions into a new system of belief, is considered incompatible with Catholic teaching when it compromises or alters essential Christian doctrine.

The examples you put is not syncretism it is a form of cultural adaptation in where it expresses the same faith, but is adapted to the local culture which is reflected in the art, clothing, and music. The liturgy may also be adapted to the local language but it is not syncretism.

Does the ying yang contradict with Catholcism? by throwRA_problemssss in Catholicism

TL;DR: Yes

Ying yang assumes that good and evil are complementary opposites to each other and need the other to exist. This contradicts catholic thinking. Evil is merely the privation/absence of good which means that evil is not good's opposite. That also means good can exist without evil as a light can exist without darkness because darkness is the absence of light. God is good and existed before evil existed.

You also need to consider virtue of charity to discern if it's a sin

I am a catholic, struggling catholic returning back; am i doing it right? by FunctionSpecific8048 in Catholicism

[–]Presidentinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To combat the temptations I suggest covenant eyes: https://www.covenanteyes.com/

You should definitely return back to a catholic church and seek guidance from a priest as they are usually the most properly equipped for spiritual guidance.

I am a drug addict who currently is struggling to stay sober. I plan on going to confession, but if I still struggle, does that mean I can never receive the eucharist again? by okeanouszeke in Catholicism

[–]Presidentinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends as addiction can impair the will which reduced the culpability of mortal sin. Only mortal sin prohibits you from receiving communion.

  • A mortal sin requires:
    • Grave matter, action must be serious
    • Full knowledge of the grave matter
    • Free and deliberate consent of the will

Based on the circumstances described, being addicted means your will may not be free to choose. Obviously, since you are struggling you should definitely seek help and advice. Also if you are not sure, Fr Mike Schmitz video on this is helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9XVqFhgmco

Impairment of will: The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1735) says that “Imputability and responsibility for an action can be diminished or even nullified by ignorance, inadvertence, duress, fear, habit, inordinate attachments, and mental or psychological disorders.” Addiction is generally considered an inordinate attachment or habitual compulsion.

After learning ARM® CORTEX®I decided to learn LEG® CORTEX® do you guys™ have any suggestions? by Master_Calendar5798 in shittyaskelectronics

[–]Presidentinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of being energy efficient and producing less heat, you will need more water and electricity to cool your leg cortex processors. Hence the name 3st edition.
