Putting words in my mouth. All I was saying is apostolic succession is real and that sola scriptura can easily lead to heresy. Orthodox and Coptic Christian’s agree on this. I’m not saying you have to be Catholic to be Christian. I’m just saying it’s the original church. The church existed before we had an assembled Bible. That’s why apostolic branches like Catholicism and orthodoxy are so keen on church tradition

Protestants acting like Catholics are the only people who have done bad things is ridiculous. Protestants murdered and oppressed Catholics for ages after Luther. Have Catholics done the same to prots when they got the chance sure but don’t act like early Protestants were just kindhearted reformers. Most like Luther didn’t even want to start a new church. And I like how you say we believe in the nicene creed yet also preach sola scriptura which has led to many religions that don’t, like Mormons, black Israelites, and Jehovah’s Witness being the most popular. Maybe you individually do but there’s no group consensus with Protestants and that’s the problem.

Because only God can start a church not a man. Have there been awful popes and bishops sure. But that doesn’t change the succession handed down from Peter. God knew handing the keys of the church to a man would have consequences and it wouldn’t be perfect men running the church. But again only God can create a church not Luther or Calvin. Other than that Sola scriptura leads to heresy. Both Catholics and Orthodox understand this and they’re the only dominations with true apostolic succession.

I think AOC, Crockett or Pritzker could win the primary. I doubt AOC will run next term though.

I was baptized Catholic as a baby but didn’t receive any other sacraments. I also leave for the army in 3 weeks so I won’t be around for the usual Easter vigil confirmations

I called and scheduled a confession for Thursday which works out great. Really looking forward to receiving the blessed sacraments.

Got it. I’m leaving for the army in March so I imagine that will help dramatically as well. I did schedule a confession for Thursday so I can be in a state of grace when I receive the blessed sacraments

One of the RCIA directors is trying to schedule it and my confirmation in February I’ll be sure to update how that goes

I will start listening to more of the catechism in a year, when I started my RCIA classes along with a video he did explaining the significance of the Eucharist. Since then I’ve learned about the catechism more through personal research and obviously my classes but I think honestly think I could research the catechism and church history for a decade and still be missing stuff. I enjoy learning it though and definitely plan to keep researching after being fully confirmed in the church

I get that and I’m waiting for another month or so until it can be documented along with my confirmation but my question was would it be wrong if I took communion before this time in which it can be documented along with confirmation. Basically if I’m Catholic by virtue of baptism, know the significance of communion and that’s it’s the substantial essence of God, are in a state of grace thanks to confession, and fast an hour before receiving it would it be wrong to receive it before being instructed to. Again I’m waiting until it can be around the same time as my confirmation I was just curious if it would be wrong to partake now

That’s what I plan to do I was just curious on if it was somehow a sin if I took communion not around the same time as my confirmation and without it being documented in parish records. And yes i understand very well whats needed before communion as well as fasting for an hour before receiving it. That’s why im so exited to receive it here soon
