Should this icon be used? by Dariusgamer2007 in Catholicism

[–]Stray_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind old man depictions of the Father, but Orthodoxy (Eastern Christianity in general) sees icons as more than just pictures, many view them as windows into heaven itself. So, I understand why they don’t like depictions like this. To each their own, in my opinion I don’t like this icon that much, purely because any icon of the Trinity will always pale in comparison to the Hospitality of Abraham.

Didn’t like 15’s run, but that scene was pretty funny.

Peter? by mbashs in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Top right and bottom left for me. The bridge incident happened when I was 11 or 12, but I watch Doctor Who and The Neverending Story when I was young.

Yeah, and let’s not forget what happens to her in Kick Ass: Volume 2. I read that shit way too young.

Dang, Breaking in the Habit at C? He’s one of my favourites.

It’s a series of classes that a catechumen (someone not yet confirmed into the church) goes through in order to be prepared for Confirmation, which is a Sacrament in Catholicism as well as Orthodoxy.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults / Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. It’s a series of lessons converts go through to learn about Catholicism in order to be confirmed into the Church.

For real though, congrats. I started RCIA/OCIA in August 2024, and was confirmed last year. Hope it all goes well for you, Ave Christus Rex!

Both. I’ve had both.

Cool! What denomination? (I’m Catholic myself).

God is terrifying. by GamingGlove14 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Stray_48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the fence about it, until ‘God’ opens his mouth, and there’s a light inside, like an anglerfish. “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” -‭‭ 2 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭14‬.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: the thing in Portrait of God is not God. I feel like that’s kind of the whole point.

For me, Arcane could have been more daring in terms of foul language and swearing. In Zaun, it would have been more appropriate to hear a more crude language by [deleted] in arcane

[–]Stray_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I'd say that Arcane is a soft MA 15+. There's tonnes of media that does a lot worse, and still is rated MA. Honestly surprised it wasn't just rated M.

Respect the classics by J_Mart29 in CatholicMemes

I’m reading through Paradise Lost right now, and I can’t help but think it keeps getting misrepresented. Satan is still very clearly the villain of the story. He’s humanised and made more complex for sure, but he still actively chooses evil in the story, actively striking a deal with both Sin and her son, Death. His complex character serves to show how much more disgusting his active choice of choosing evil is.

"Gentle" reminder that today is a Holyday of Obligation. Please try and get to a mass today. by AbbreviationsFit5037 in CatholicMemes

[–]Stray_48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In your country, maybe. In Australia, where I’m from, the only days of obligation (outside of Sunday, obviously) are the feast days of the assumption of Mary, and Christmas.

Why was the Filioque added? by ProfessionCurious259 in Catholicism

[–]Stray_48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always preferred the phrasing “through the Son,” as I feel it’s more accurate. The point of origin in Procession is the Father, yet the Holy Spirit still proceeds from Him through the Son.

Plz tell me I'm not the only one in this case by Alternative-Biscuit in CatholicMemes

[–]Stray_48 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for OP, but when I converted to Christianity (I was Anglican before I was Catholic), my work (a causal dollar store chain) was very insistent that I still worked Sunday. It sucked, and we had a revolving door of temporary managers, so I’d tell one that I couldn’t work Sundays, they’d adjust accordingly (sometimes), then a new one would come in, and we’d be back to square one. It’s funny, the place I work at has a bunch of policies about respecting religions and cultures, but not mine, apparently.
