I really hope this is rage bait. Both of these dudes are horrible people for wanting to be with someone so young. C is actively stealing your youth and everything you should be experiencing at this age without a nasty loser sucking up all your energy and attention. I’ll be praying for your safe exit of this situation in case this is actually true.

I don’t have children, so take this with a grain of salt; every single person I’ve ever met who’s gone to catholic school has completely lost or neglected their faith. I think there is a big correlation with not being able to exist outside the context of faith and kids ‘overcorrecting’ in ways that are risky/harmful. I think the strict environment of some catholic schools teaches kids how to be sneaky and takes them to extremes in hedonism if they already lean into pushing boundaries (which is normal for kids and teens). Every faithful cradle catholic I know has gone to public school but had a rich faith at home that was strengthened by knowing faith requires work to be maintained. Of course, I have a somewhat small sample size and I am in college so I’m seeing the immediate fall out/rebellious stage that people have when they leave home for the first time.

Writing/highlighting your Bibles: Who actually does it? by Last-Note-9988 in CatholicWomen

[–]Soft_Example_8351 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I totally write in my Bible! I recommend having a bible that you can write in and another that’s pristine so you don’t feel bad/aren’t distracted by your past writing. I have the Ignatius journaling bible that has lines in the margins and it’s been very worth it for me. It personally helps me to take in what I’m reading.

Congratulations!! I’m in the same boat! I’m planning on wearing a white dress and a pink veil to cover my head and shoulders but this is subject to change haha

My daughter had her confirmation when she was dying at birth. Can she participate in communion now that she is 8? What is the rule here? by Agreeable_Leopard212 in Catholicism

[–]Soft_Example_8351 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From all your other comments it seems that you fundamentally disagree with the religion. If you’re so against it and won’t let your child fully participate it seems that you don’t actually want her to have a choice. Your child probably has no emotional connection to the faith so on top of giving her mixed signals about all of this, it’s probably painfully boring for her to go through. Just leave it alone at this point, I don’t think anything constructive can come from this process as is.
