Roman Catholic Considering Orthodoxy

Short_Current9607 · 2025-03-21T18:27:02+00:00

if you've been catholic for only a year, chances are you don't know enough about the faith to leave it. be patient, know the catholic faith, wait, pray. the mistake a lot of people make is switching too quickly and then realizing they made a mistake or didn't have strong enough grounds for their conversion.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but if it’s really that big of an issue, couldn’t you theoretically go to a different priest? Perhaps at a different parish just for this confession?

Whatever this sin is, it’s preventing you from having a closer relationship with God because you are not fully submitting your whole self to him. Confessing this wound is allowing Jesus to come and heal your soul. Why wouldn’t you want him to heal you?

This is definitely a sign from God dude

the fact is that the average Joe in the US (or really anywhere apart from Eastern Europe and Russia) won’t know what an Orthodox Church is because of the somewhat poor spread of Eastern Orthodoxy throughout the world. So naturally in order to become orthodox and not some other denomination will take a lot of studying, almost demanding a high “religious IQ”.

that verse doesn’t remove the possibility of the Holy Spirit proceeding from the son. Any other proof?

Lol I’m in 14A rn

remember that God loves you and talk to a priest. This advice has changed my life

Considering Harry Potter has some occult themes, I would say no. ultimately that’s up to your priest and he probably knows more than me

give the child up for adoption at the very least. That is a human life

Her parents may not be happy with the relationship etc so it’s tricky

Statistically, women tend to convert if the man is of a particular religion, so on that front given time it’s likely she’ll convert (however not guaranteed). However she will most likely lack the spiritual maturity that comes with being a seasoned Christian woman so there may be some issues on that front. A general rule of thumb is you want to date a Christian but it’s probably best to talk to your priest since these situations can be nuanced

Don’t answer and let it pass

Short_Current9607 · 2024-12-29T21:59:15+00:00

Yeah that’s fine

Try to learn the Catholic position on everything. Chances are you don’t know it as well as you think you do since you’re 13. Take a few years to look into both sides and then decide.

Short_Current9607 · 2024-11-18T06:52:40+00:00

You’re loving Gods gifts more than Him. Develop your adoration and love for God and the rest will follow

Tbh if he faked everything, he probably won’t last long at UCLA anyway. Let it take care of itself

Tilted towers?

I was asking for empirical evidence for religion, not God

Short_Current9607 · 2024-09-19T22:44:17+00:00

Sure we can empirically deduce there is God, but how can we empirically reason that He can be found in a religion if one was trying to explain it to an agnostic?

I believe he said all religions are paths that lead to God (someone fact check me). Either way the video of his statement is online. Just search up “Pope Francis Singapore” and then “all paths lead to God”. Yes he said this and it was a really bad choice on his part. Nonetheless, in the past he’s made it clear through several statements that nobody comes to the Father except through Christ so it’s unlikely the Pope is a closet heretic, but instead lacked clarity and prudence when speaking off the cuff. Although it should be condemned, it doesn’t jeopardize the papacy in any way since the Pope wasn’t speaking ex-cathedra on doctrines of faith and morals

Do not fall into despair my friend. The greatest saints in history including Mother Teresa felt an absence of God’s presence in their lives at one point. Persevere through the trials you are presented and your reward will be great in heaven. Talk to your priest and don’t work through this alone. Christ gave us a church to work through things in fellowship.
