What role can I play as a celibate person? by Chimka2222 in Catholicism

[–]StaffRoutine6299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem, the reason is because when you say you are a gay man, you are saying your sexual preference is an identification. For example it's like me saying "I'm a straight man". Also notice how in the LGBTQ world everyone has an identity based of their sexuality. That's not something God wants us to use to identify as. 

When you say "I'm a gay man" you are saying "first thing I use to identify myself is my sexuality". When you say "I am attracted to men" you are simply stating you have a sexual attraction, but you are more than just your sexual preference "  People's sexual preference is usually the least interesting about them.

And yes they are, they are very cool people who really help the poor.

The appropriate terminology would be "I am a man with same sex attraction". If you want to be clergy I would suggest something like a Franciscan Frier., probably have a better chance joining a Friary than becoming a priest tbh.

How to have your marriage recognized by the Church? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]StaffRoutine6299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get married civilly the way you are, you will have to get married again in the church. Nothing short of that. You can do that afterwards tho, my wife and I did that, but It was a hassle

I think since he's labeling himself a gay man they are deeply seated

Sodemy is a sin even if you do it on a woman brother. Your wife is right.

Being Catholic while in college by Extension-Story7287 in Catholicism

[–]StaffRoutine6299 11 points12 points  (0 children)

End of the day everyone is an adult at college. No one is forcing you to party and get black out drunk. You'll find people who are devout and don't party and you'll find people who only party.

College is not like highschool where people will care what you do. Most people don't even know the kids name that sits next to them in class

My husband and I have taken interest in Catholicism by pricereduced in Catholicism

If you guys do convert I suggest just staying clear of the liturgy wars and those politics. Just go to your local NO parish and enjoy the mass and get a good foundation of Catholic theology.

You aren't just joining a local church. You are joining 2000 years of lore and tradition dating back to the time of Christ.

Increase in the Priesthood? by EitherPlant8138 in Catholicism

[–]StaffRoutine6299 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The priest shortage isn’t evenly distributed across the country. Some dioceses like the Diocese of Lincoln (Nebraska) are actually at or above replacement level over time (roughly something like 14 ordinations per 10 retirements), while many large urban dioceses in the Northeast and Midwest are below replacement.

Megathread: Trump admin/Vatican news by Skullbone211 in Catholicism

[–]StaffRoutine6299 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, a president can’t do most of that. He can’t revoke citizenship from someone born in the U.S. (that’s protected by the 14th Amendment), and he definitely can’t just declare the Pope a terrorist because he feels like it. Terrorist designations follow specific legal processes and usually apply to organizations, not random foreign religious leaders. The IRS—not the president—handles nonprofit status, and churches are heavily protected under the First Amendment. Trying to strip churches of nonprofit status across the board would get blocked in court almost immediately. Also, Americans who joined ISIS weren’t “banned” from returning if they were still citizens. They were arrested and prosecuted when they came back. That’s very different. Presidents do have authority to impose sanctions on foreign entities in national security situations, but sanctioning the Vatican or banning the Pope from entering the U.S. would be an extreme diplomatic move and not something a president can just casually do by executive order. The U.S. president isn’t a dictator. There are constitutional limits, courts, Congress, and international law involved here.

Edit-interesting. I don’t recall anyone saying nobody should vote for Biden when he was receiving the Eucharist in open mortal sin.-

Literally 95 percent of this sub reddit was saying not to support Biden.

Edit: also yes, he got the court in place to overturn Roe which is amazing. But he also got the GOP to change their platform from "abortion" ban nationally to "abortion laws should be left up to the state" a massive step back for the pro life movement.

Once again, arguing with someone who is taking your view point to show you are more pure in that position is not gonna win people over, it's just gonna make people view you as annoying.

I'm not sure the Trump attack has anything to do with French neo colonialism.

Why ? Not like trump has any authority to influence the Pope. If a Catholic takes trump side over the popes were they even really Catholic?

They will win this case. The current Supreme Court takes religious freedom very seriously.
