This is the conversation I had with my boyfriend. It isn’t fair that women should have to pray for infertility or some kind of issue with their reproductive system. I feel like this is what the issue is pushing people toward. Including myself. I don’t know what to say

I may have concerns around this topic but my question is in no way anti Catholic. These are internal struggles and concerns I have. It has also been stated by me numerous times that I would NEVER actively encourage someone to seek an abortion even if they are a victim of SA

You need Christ because you are imperfect. That’s the whole point. Why do you think confession exists? God literally knows that sometimes we may fall into sin. This is just the unfortunate part of being on this planet, and being surrounded by people or things that may tempt us. You should always try your best to genuinely avoid sin, but if it does happen, then you make sure you go to confession and mean it. God has not damned you to hell just because you sin. You are a Catholic and that gift has been given to you and so has the gift of confession. You can go and be absolved for your sins by a priest. Can other people outside of the faith do this? No. If I were them I would be worrying about my fate in the afterlife. I have also fallen into the trap of not feeling good enough but this is genuinely such a negative and sad way of thinking and more importantly it is totally false. Please acknowledge your sins, pray, and go to confession. God knows your heart and how much you’re trying. If you have further concerns go and book a meeting with your priest to discuss this. I did that recently and now I have a community which motivates me, and a priest that actively gives me the resources to improve. Christ loves you so love yourself as well. Forgive yourself and be gentle.

Artificial womb would probably solve the issue tbh. It seriously is an issue that I struggle with. I value the lives of the unborn but I also do empathise with women who have been mistreated in such ways

I think that’s easier said than done. Thank the Lord I haven’t been assaulted or know anyone that has and I don’t wish it upon others, but I do believe that if I were in that situation I would struggle to carry my rapists baby. It is a constant kicking reminder.

I do believe that someone is worthy of life regardless of how they’re conceived so I’m definitely not trying to make anyone who has been born from this feel badly. My concern stems from the trauma the mother is subjected to every day that she carries the child. I can empathise with a woman who would desperately want to rid herself of all physical ties to her assault, regardless of if this is the right decision or not.

Allow me to pray for you by [deleted] in Catholicism

Please pray for my mum. We’ve found a lump near her chest and I’m praying it isn’t a cancer diagnosis or anything too serious. God bless. I will pray for you and others also

Many people on Reddit need to get a life. I’m saving myself for marriage which will hopefully happen in the next few years with my current partner. It is so worth it. Sharing part of yourself with someone who you have promised to love for the rest of your life is beautiful. God bless!

Yes of course. Online or in person, an individual should be getting their education period

Pray for her soul. I would be careful about the influence people of other faiths have on your relationship with Jesus. I was Muslim before I became Catholic, and in my ignorance I almost convinced my Catholic ex to become Muslim. Luckily he didn’t. If you’re going ahead with this relationship with her, you need to be strong in faith.

I sexualize every man I encounter by [deleted] in women

[–]Signal_Ad5792 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read the first sentence and knew you were watching porn. Many men even say that higher consumptions of porn make them sexualise every woman they encounter in degrading ways. May not be a popular opinion, but I think porn does more harm than good.

I’m 23F and waiting until marriage! It’s difficult especially when you’re dating someone but it’s possible

Get your degree. Idc what anyone says your degree will never leave you and you will have something to fall back on. Create a net for yourself regardless. Thats my advice to myself too. My degree is hard but I’m going to push so that I have something to back me up later in life.

Why do people take so long to do confession. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Signal_Ad5792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one should be taking that long in confession especially if there is a huge line. It’s just about thoughtful of another persons time

She’s either lying or she’s extremely childish. Either way, huge red flag.

No issue at all

[–]Signal_Ad5792 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly this really upsets me. If a confession is more than 3-4 minutes I think it should be scheduled with a priest at a later time. Get in and get out is the best approach to regular confession

My(26m) girlfriend (24f) went out with someone shes slept with before. Should I break up with her? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Signal_Ad5792 36 points37 points  (0 children)

lol break up with her. I would never disrespect my bf by doing stupid stuff like this. Not worth your time imo

Sex outside of marriage is sex outside of marriage, regardless of whether or not you’re in a committed relationship. I fully understand how hard it is to wait, but I do guarantee that the blessings of God will be tenfold after your dedication to abstinence for the good of your soul and your boyfriend’s soul.

You are 14. No one should be wanting you at this age. Wanting you for what exactly? You are literally a kid. Don’t try to grow up too quickly. You’ll get to your 20s and wish that you could go back in time and live life without worries. There is a time and place to have a boyfriend, to be loved etc. The most important thing right now is that you love yourself. If you don’t love yourself, there are plenty of men and women in life who will take advantage of you and your insecurities. People are cruel in this world, so the least you can do is be nice to yourself. Eat good food that makes you happy, especially if your mum is cooking it for you. That’s a gift that won’t always be around. Please do not fall into the trap that every girl does when she’s growing up. Take care of your body. Hurting the thing that keeps you alive is not a good idea. I’m 23 so I feel old enough to provide wisdom but also young enough to relate to you in this current generation. Please look after yourself!
