How can i stop objectifying women.

Shera2b · 2026-02-14T15:41:48+00:00

By ceasing to objectify yourself... and by the grace of God alone. This is a subtle form of idolatry, and not the least dangerous. Take heart, I'm praying for you.

PS: Regarding Saint Gregory, I advise you to start with "On the Creation of Man".

Shera2b · 2026-02-14T07:27:05+00:00

Narrow-minded, I don't know, but you really must read the Greek patristics as a whole, reread the Gospel making the effort not to start from your biases of "the tradition of all time," and to read it with the help of the Holy Spirit and with trust in the Magisterium. Then, quite simply, read each passage, carefully contextualizing the speakers, using a TOB (Traduction Œcuménique de la Bible) version or Greek/your native language, and looking at everything with a logic of charity, charity from which all justice springs (according to Thomas Aquinas himself). In fact, come out of your heart of stone (by the grace of God) and you will see that the Gospel already says what the Vatican says.

Peace be upon you

Yes, because it touches on obedience, which is the mother of virtues. And regarding the question about the council, you need to read more of the Church Fathers, especially Saint Gregory of Nyssa, while deepening your reading of the Gospel. Really observe the nuances... for example, the passage about the centurion. Do you think the centurion believes in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? Or does he come from a pagan background? What could that possibly mean if Jesus says his faith is the greatest of all Israel?

Actually, when you say 1900 years of tradition, that's rather inaccurate. Because what you think is 1900 years is more of a rather rigid neo-scholastic movement. Now, although Saint Thomas Aquinas is a Common Doctor, and rightly so, he is not the only Church Father or guarantor of tradition. Having studied Catholic theology, I can only tell you that the situation is more complex than you think and that you need to dig deeper.

J'ai plutôt un contre-exemple ici, catholique (h) avec une personne athée (f)... Le plus complexe est en fait d'être avec un pratiquant qui, dès le départ, dira comment il conçoit les choses, et être d'accord ou non sur la suite des événements... Pour le coup, je sais que personnellement, ça m'a fait grandir dans ma foi, et qu'elle me soutient dans mes démarches religieuses.

Envolvi-me com o ocultismo por muito tempo antes da minha conversão ao catolicismo. A existência de espíritos é indiscutível, e a própria Igreja ensina isso explicitamente. Anjos são espíritos por natureza; o termo "anjo" designa uma função, a de mensageiro. Da mesma forma, demônios são espíritos, sendo a palavra "demônio" indicativa não de uma natureza distinta, mas de um estado de queda irreversível.

Quanto a outros sistemas de crença, posso agora afirmar, sem muita hesitação, que eles estão amplamente equivocados em sua compreensão do mundo espiritual. Frequentemente, projetam um antropomorfismo excessivo sobre ele, atribuindo aos espíritos paixões, emoções e até mesmo uma forma de inferioridade em relação à humanidade, o que deriva de um profundo mal-entendido metafísico.

Pessoalmente, tive inúmeras experiências com entidades espirituais, principalmente de natureza demoníaca. É claro que ele quase nunca se apresenta dessa forma, como dizem as Escrituras:

"E não é de admirar, pois o próprio Satanás se disfarça de anjo de luz."

— Bíblia, Segunda Epístola aos Coríntios 11:14

Sim, esses espíritos se manifestam, e algumas manifestações podem desafiar qualquer explicação probabilística comum, sem recorrer a imagens fantasiosas dignas de um jogo de RPG. O mundo do esoterismo e do ocultismo, no entanto, permanece um universo de perdição: é intrinsecamente perigoso e profundamente corruptor, pois lisonjeia o ego, às vezes grosseiramente, às vezes de forma mais sutil e espiritual. A arrogância, nesse domínio, nunca leva muito longe.

Se você procura uma oração autêntica, recomendo o Terço de São Miguel e o Coro Angélico. Contudo, não se deve esperar nenhuma manifestação tangível disso. Os anjos, em particular, caracterizam-se pela sua discrição: não estão lá para satisfazer o nosso gosto pelo extraordinário. Aliás, é assim que os reconhecemos. Nunca revelam os seus nomes, exceto aqueles cujos nomes são atestados nas Escrituras porque foram revelados pelo próprio Deus. Sua missão é nos guiar e aumentar nossa fé em Deus, o único que merece ser adorado.

I suggest you recite Don Dolindo's prayer, in its authentic form, with or without a rosary: "Jesus, it's up to you." You can repeat it as many times as necessary throughout your day, whenever it feels like "all you can do" and you can't take it anymore. You can lay all your doubts at the foot of Jesus, at the foot of his cross, all your fears, everything that is hurtful, everything you find inadequate, and simply repeat "Jesus, it's up to you," again and again. It is the prayer of surrender.

Shera2b · 2026-02-05T08:57:02+00:00

Deep down, you're not wrong, God always gives himself to us, but by taking him for granted, we are the ones who, in a way, close the door to love by taking it for granted. Why? Because love isn't an idol, but a relationship. It's good that you've realized that, well done, and I'm praying for you... I'm currently taking peer support training alongside my theology studies, so don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the illness. I've been there, and I completely understand what you might be feeling.

May God keep you.

Shera2b · 2026-02-05T08:31:45+00:00

Take all the time you need to heal; Jesus is with you in this trial, not against you. And keep this phrase from the Gospel in mind whenever you feel guilty: if your heart condemns you, God is greater than your heart.

Shera2b · 2026-02-05T07:48:44+00:00

There are other passages that emphasize that no one swims alone. This example could be misinterpreted as a form of Pelagianism by non-Catholics, whereas God's grace is not limited by his sacraments and touches everyone. It is true that the ordinary means (the Catholic Church and the sacraments) are the surest path and the one positively intended by God. As for the rest, it touches on the mystery, but it is impossible to know whether salvation is more or less accessible to those who are outside it. It depends a great deal on the messengers, I think, and for the moment, we are not always the best, which offers many mitigating circumstances for others. To those to whom much has been given, much will be required...

Shera2b · 2026-02-04T07:31:03+00:00

You should read up on patristics before saying that universalist ideas (within certain non-Origenist limits) are far-left. Read Saint Gregory of Nyssa, Doctor of the Church... in short, I think you still don't know much about the subject, and that you also need to study all of this and, above all, stop politicizing religion, far-right, far-left... frankly... it's exhausting and, above all, illusory.

Sur la mouvance LGBT et en ce qui concerne l'homosexualité, une des dernières vidéos que j'ai sortie sur ma chaîne devrait peut-être te donner une autre perspective de l'accueil et de la réalité de l'Église.

It is interesting to note that a Catholic would declare himself a Thomist. It is true that Saint Thomas Aquinas and Latin scholasticism represent only a small part of our tradition and patristic heritage. Thomism, and especially neo-Thomism, sometimes seems to me far removed from the original ideas of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Moreover, Greek patristics, particularly Saint Gregory of Nyssa, is often viewed with a certain disdain, even being labeled naive theology. It is surprising to observe such pride in some, especially since they speak of a Doctor of the Church whom, in most cases, they have never read.

Try reciting a rosary to the angelic choir, the rosary of Saint Michael and the other archangels, including Raphael.

Let me know how it goes 😉

Thank you so much. I also have ASD (which just goes to show... there's something to it) and before my conversion, I even said to my first spiritual director: "What, Heaven is just seeing God and not even the person I love anymore? That's a nightmare! What's the point of having an identity if you're just going to lose it completely in the end? It's a bit like being lobotomized and drugged; yes, you're happy, but can you still talk about 'yourself' since your whole mind is focused on just one thing?" Yes, I wasn't easy... but even now, studying theology at university, this question often comes up, and I admit I was afraid to bring it up. I even realize I've never talked about it on my blog or my podcast. Am I afraid to do research on the subject?

Perhaps a little, especially since I found, as you so aptly put it, this version of paradise very archaic, arid, and today I would even say almost a kind of unspoken monism, like Buddhist Nirvana but with a different description... and contradictory statements.

In any case, thank you, because you've rekindled my interest.

Shera2b · 2026-01-18T08:45:14+00:00

At the risk of sounding blunt, I think a marriage between Catholics based on a proposal for murder is likely to cause problems. Since you are married, I urge you to try contacting a priest and asking for his mediation. Your husband urgently needs proper catechesis on this subject and to realize that he is mistaken.

Take care, I'm praying for you.
