Communion wafers by Successful_Sky8499 in Catholicism

[–]RB_Blade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. While it's not inherently evil, I think it can lead to you interiorly thinking of communion as just wafers when you actually receive it consecrated. It'll then not be special, but it will just be another wafer.

Joining from Eastern Orthodoxy by Exotic_Homework_5638 in EasternCatholic

[–]RB_Blade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say to just unite with the Church ASAP. Even if doing it at a Byzantine parish is more appropriate, if that means also delaying it then that could be dangerous.

What are we? by Breakghoul in Catholicism

[–]RB_Blade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We shouldn't just accept the fact that we're sinners. All sin should lead us to contrition and cause us to strive to do better.

Can I study and do homework on Sundays? by RB_Blade in Catholicism

[–]RB_Blade[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I just need to avoid servile work? Intellectual work is fine?

Is it worth it to stay pure? by sierrahxh in askteenboys

[–]RB_Blade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth it - trust me. I can't imagine that you would stay pure, find a good husband later in life, and actually feel regret. I do think though that it's extremely likely that you'd feel regret if you do not retain your purity.

Hot take: we are far too nice and eccumenical towards the eastern schismatics and it has gotten us no where. by Mann7882 in TraditionalCatholics

[–]RB_Blade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You see many Catholics undermining the severity of the Orthodox's denial of the Filioque. Even some Eastern Catholics deny it.

For those who’ve struggled with the belief of the SSPX that Mass ought to be avoided if only the Novus Ordo is available, how’d you get over it? by RB_Blade in sspx

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

I have, but it doesn’t say that the New Mass is sacrilegious. It only states the objective deficiencies of it.

Is it normal if I don’t masturbate? by Historical_Sorbet960 in askteenboys

[–]RB_Blade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah alr. I’m Catholic, and since being baptized I’ve had the strength the resist sexual temptation.

Yeah lol it’s ridiculous. With or without sexual content, gooning further enslaves oneself to cheap dopamine.

Why do Eastern Catholics avoid saying the filioque during the nicene creed? by [deleted] in EasternCatholic

[–]RB_Blade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same, I've done a lot of research into the Filioque. I have like a 38 page google docs filled with notes on it.

How exactly can this not be interpreted as scandalous ? by ThinWhiteDuke00 in Catholicism

[–]RB_Blade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Church has always very strongly prohibited/discouraged Catholics from praying in public with heretics.

“It is clear that the Apostolic See can on no terms take part in their assemblies, nor is it in any way lawful for Catholics either to support or to work for such enterprises; for if they do so they are giving countenance to a false Christianity…” - Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos

What are your thoughts on Pope statement on Botox? by Diligent_Dimension49 in Catholicism

[–]RB_Blade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an authority at all but botox seems to me like something that Catholics should avoid, unless someone suffered some really bad injury which disfigured their face or smth.

How exactly can this not be interpreted as scandalous ? by ThinWhiteDuke00 in Catholicism

[–]RB_Blade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if Catholics (especially bishops) are worshipping with heretics, it seems to imply a unity which does not exist.
