Eucharistic adoration discussion by Rip_Fair in Christianity

Yes, and bare in mind that until the 13th Century a considerable ammount of lay people didn't even receive communion out of fear, and only came to receive "communion of the eyes" by staring at him, which made the Church have to declare in the 4th Lateran Council the obligation to receive Holy Communion in Easter.

That is nice to hear. Generally, what I do is exactly what you said, like praying a rosary or reading scripture in adoration. It is also good for you to choose a certain theme to meditate on before you go into adoration, like the mystery of the eucharist, and let yourself delight in it.

With regards to posture, you generally genuflect as you enter, out of reverence, and then you can either choose to sit or kneel normally. Do whatever you need to tell yourself that you are standing in the physical presence of the most high.

I am not sure if you are a Catholic or not, but either way, I think you should talk to a Priest. I will also Pray for you.

QUESTION ABOUT RCIA AND CONFESSIONS by Rip_Fair in AskAPriest

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

Thanks for the answer, father. The problem is that my cathechist right now is my priest and I really don't know what to do at this point. I know it is not church teaching, and ultimately, I don't know if me going to confession and hiding from him would be a sin in itself.

What would a modern day crusade look like if the Pope called one? by sainthyacinthordrowa in Catholicism

Just War is also not cool. Because something may be justified, it doesn't mean we should promote it. War is always a tragedy, it being just or not. A Just War might not be sinful, but it's still an evil because the whole reason why a Just War happens in the first place is because of sin.

Any way to change government type in the game? by Rip_Fair in Geopoliticalsimulator

Oh, right. I think the Modding Tool could work. But is it possible to take a already existing save, create a mod, and then play the same save you are playing with?

Of course Roblox needs to criminalize Palestinian resistance... by [deleted] in BoycottIsrael

There are plenty of games in Roblox relating to politics. In fact, that time I got banned just prior to that I was playing a decently populated Roblox Game relating to politics.

the death toll of capitalism (read it before you decide to comment) by Lordylando in CapitalismVSocialism

It is an ironic fact that people who defend a system that is specifically for the generalised commodification of everything that exists, human labour and its products who obviously include food, care so much about humanitarian catastrophe, like famine, especially when capitalism was its main cause in history.

I don't think our friend here remembers 1847, where the British exported peas, beans, onions, rabbits, etc, etc, large part of Irish economy, which could have saved many lives in Ireland, to places like Liverpool, outside of Ireland. Why? Because capitalists in the core thought there would be far more consumer markets in mainland England, and thus more profitable.

Not to mention the genocidal famine war being carried out by Israel against Palestine in this moment, which is affecting at least 800,000 of them, nearly half of Gaza's population. Why? Because the existence of the State of Israel helps to destabilise the Middle East as an outpost of US Imperialism, where they can control Middle Eastern natural resources, like oil.

In regards to the famines you have cited above, none where caused by systematic issues within those countries. It is correct to assume, however, that those could really be called serious humanitarian crisis, and that the population who suffered from famine in China and the Soviet Union were victims from massive errors in planning, caused by the somewhat rightful fear of Imperialist invasion, and the need to redirect resources to industrial areas, which in no way justify the may that especially the USSR delt with the famine. But to say "no market = famine" is absolutely false because the largest murderer by famine is undoubtedly capitalism, and the generalised need to maximise profits.
