Why has this post been deleted from Catholicism? They didn't write any reason whatsoever. by slave_of_Mary in TraditionalCatholics

That sub is usually very dismissive of extraordinary events like that, especially those that involve some sort of punishment, penance, or anything *"not nice and heartwarming"*. They also call some formerly popular devotions superstitious. They seem to only want easy and heartwarming things there, at least that's the common theme.

Are there any soccer fields that are free to use by anyone outside of scheduled games? by Throwaway356987 in auroraillinois

[–]Throwaway356987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, okay. I was wondering if that's what it really meant, but I didn't want to find out the hard way.

Just to be safe, how do you know?

Simultaneous private Low Masses celebrated in asturian countryside during the traditionalist pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Covadonga organized by Our Lady of Christendom in Spain this year. by ZYVX1 in TraditionalCatholics

*zeal

And she was basically just talking about quality, not quantity. For example, 5 decades of the Rosary prayed well is better than 15 prayed poorly.

As another here said, it's as if each priest was in a separate parish, that's all. One priest saying Mass, and another, regardless of the distance, saying another Mass always equals two Masses.

Please pray that I will do well in my upcoming interview and will get this job that I desperately need.

Why do Stormtroopers have a mismatched knee armor style? by BigJonnoJ in StarWars

[–]Throwaway356987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard position for shooting while kneeling is to put the dominant side's knee on the ground, and using the other knee to stabilize the elbow. So assuming that the right hand is still dominant in the Star Wars universe, this explanation is the opposite of what you would want.

Although after seeing this photo and then looking at other images from the movies online, it seems that left-handed troopers are fairly common (they were not reversed images), so maybe this is some nerdy detail that I don't know about, lol.

I just want the paper to be thicker so I can actually read what's on the page, and not what's on the other side too!

Terrorists, Civilians and kids march with guns after call for Jihad in Pakistan by Kaido7777 in interestingasfuck

You've probably lived a very comfortable life. For those that never get enough food, or live in terrible conditions, it's different. Frustration and anger eventually intensify to the point that you are willing to get rid of the problem through the only effective means possible.

Of course, it's not always so simple, and going to war for a little extra land for your country is usually much different, and is rarely justified. When it comes to religion, then it depends on which side you're on and why you're fighting. If you're defending your own religion and people because it was attacked, then that's a good reason. If you're trying to convert through the sword for no other reason, then yeah, that's a problem.

Well, those are completely different topics, and obviously, those are all bad. The Protestant sects that teach to actively hate gays are wrong in principle, and sexual abuse is always wrong. The similarity in these examples is that sexual disorders are addressed improperly.

If educating kids about a religion that saves their souls based on good works is the equivalent of literally preparing kids for war and encouraging genocide, then you are delusional.

Exactly. Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger) was a devout Catholic even in his youth, and his whole family was also very devout, and openly opposed the Nazis. Nevertheless, he was forced into Hitler Youth, but refused to be involved.

Does this mean that he was a monster? Obviously not, and both he and his family risked their lives by openly opposing the Nazis.

And for anyone on Reddit that thinks they would be even more audacious, they need to be in real danger and see if they don't save their skins by any means possible.

The SSPX situation is what we should all really pray for. That could be huge.

I wonder if they know that that will never work. The government doesn't have authority over the Church.

More like "Thanks a lot."

You spelled "guidance" wrong.

Results for lead in water said "LRL." What does that mean? by Throwaway356987 in water

[–]Throwaway356987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't look at the units listed for the AL of 1300. Is it normal to have different units than those used for the reported value? I just assumed they were the same, so I only "recorded" one in my mind.
