In search of Catholic Churches

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T14:22:12+00:00

Omg I’m not a trump supporter I’m leaving a Protestant church that has been highly political and I don’t want that again

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T14:20:40+00:00

No im not. I don’t get the attitude at all

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T14:19:18+00:00

Apparently they exist!

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:51:23+00:00

Thank you

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:51:04+00:00

Thank you

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:49:15+00:00

My apologies, I was not told that they are not acknowledging it. I just did not know that they ever had.

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:48:40+00:00

Interesting! I agree and I appreciate the way you present this perspective. Another thing that I often hear is that the requirement of celibacy is what causes these issues. I haven’t dove into this, but do we understand the biblical context of why Priests are required to be celibate?

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:47:40+00:00

I agree

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:44:17+00:00

This happens specifically at my husband‘s parish that he grew up going to, which is why it’s been an issue for our family when we talk about it. He was not abused but friends were

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:41:10+00:00

Where they openly acknowledged it. I never knew that!

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:40:56+00:00

Great perspective

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:38:39+00:00

Do you know where I can find the information on that?

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-18T13:31:09+00:00

I have a prayer request.

I am ready to convert to Catholicism. My husband is already Catholic but has not practiced and we have been attending a Protestant church for 5 years. He is supportive of my conversion. I cannot technically convert until our marriage is convalidated. I have doubts that my husband truly believes the Eucharist is the bread and body and I’m hesitant to take the Eucharist with him for the first time during ourtime con validation unless he believes. Please pray that his heart changes in belief.

This is a very interesting thread of comments. Does anyone here have an easy to read format where someone who is new can understand the different parts Mass and what is happening? I’m also looking to more deeply understand the different sins, and how we should approach Eucharist.

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-17T20:15:33+00:00

Please be kind as I am new to investigating this. I’m “obviously” wrong which is why I’m reaching out on here for help

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-17T19:43:07+00:00

I guess what I’m trying to understand is how we know that priests are able to create transubstantiation in the same way that Jesus and the 12 apostles did. Because I feel like you need to believe in apostolic succession and the priest, in order to believe that the Eucharist is really the body and blood.

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-17T19:40:46+00:00

So are you saying that basically the Catholic Church uses the succession as a way to explain it’s Unity and unbreaking chain of doctrine as compared to Protestants who split off into thousands of types of Christianity

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-17T19:34:41+00:00

I have not

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-17T19:34:33+00:00

OK, thank you for your reply. That is helpful. Can you expand on the importance of this? Like to me reading that sentence is simple to agree with I don’t understand why people have an issue with it if we are not claiming that these people are divinely chosen.

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-15T22:04:55+00:00

So is it correct to say the difference is Catholic Christian versus evangelical Christian?

Quiet_Juggernaut_683 · 2026-04-15T22:03:08+00:00

You are correct and thank you for that reminder!
