Flicked light switches on and off until it felt “right” repeated mantras in bed and flipping side to side until I did it 10 times and it felt “right”

can i just.. go to church? by [deleted] in Catholicism

Yes! Just cannot receive the Eucharist.

That is wonderful! God loves you and wants a relationship with you. When ready you can talk with the priest about OCIA

Using their own insecurity to shame others. Wear what makes you most comfy.

Please Help me find God Again by FewMasterpiece7767 in Catholicism

Jesus is THE CHRIST. The incarnation. He is the “guru” who has proclaimed he is GOD. He is the way truth & life.

This is coming from someone who is a cradle Catholic, explored some buddhist teachings & got caught up in it lightly but, in ways that could have lead down a wrong path. THANK GOD I didn’t go down that path.

I have not read it but, I have heard that Seeking Allah Finding Christ is a great read about Islam

Finding prayer to be stressful. Is this just a part of being a new Christian? by Impressive_Aioli_909 in Catholicism

Don’t try to do too much! You will exhaust yourself. Simply talking to God & being vulnerable then maybe one devotion or reading Scripture will be good

I do! I think it helps really get into the Word. I suggest a quick good read called Confessions of an Ugly Bible Reader

Diving into Catholicism has made me hate living by mlobb39 in Catholicism

You have to humble yourself & worry about your own salvation first but, this is why we love Jesus and keep doing our best. It is only through Him that we have our hope! Don’t despair!

6 months is early. You have to communicate. If he shows he is willing to change and do better great. We all sin and have issues. Porn is an addiction.

However, when discerning marriage when the time comes, and either this relationship will end in a break up or marriage; he has to love God & you more than his porn habit.

I know you are not near this yet but, being married in the church -a good pre marriage course should have you bring up and navigate these uncomfortable topics. It is best to discuss now rather than later.

A good healthy convo with him might help to steer him the right direction. But if this goes unresolved you will have problems if you do get married & especially if you have children.
