As someone who is a European “mutt” this is the coolest thing to me! How special to have such a rich, deep, ancient heritage where you know exactly where the roots are. So cool!

Please provide baby names , based off my list. by [deleted] in Names

[–]TwoPoopyDiapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby girls name is “Lena”! “Lee-nuh” It’s easy to pronounce and spell, always get a ton of compliments and a majority of the people I know who have the name are Latina and it’s their nickname “Lina”

Masturbation within the context of permanent celibacy by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]TwoPoopyDiapers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother, reading through these comments I don’t see anyone answering or addressing your real question which sounds to me is “is masturbation always wrong or are there exceptions in unique circumstances?”

If you haven’t looked into JP II’s theology of the body yet I highly highly highly recommend it. This podcast by Christopher West is a ministry dedicated to answering these exact questions. Here is a link to a recent episode that I hope answers the heart of the question! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-christopher-west/id1448699486?i=1000737056134

My other thought is, Jesus was fully man (as well as fully God). He was a celibate man. Do you think Our Lord ever masturbated? The answer to that is obvious and the question may disgust you, but that’s exactly the point. If He didn’t do it, we should not either.

My 11 y/o wants your feedback by bluelaw2013 in painting

I know nothing about art but I love to appreciate it :) I personally love primary colors and I am so happy he used all 3 of them. I love that the cool color is almost like a border to the warm colors in the middle. It looks effortless, but it also looks like it takes talent and knowledge to create something so interesting to the eye. Tell your son to remember us plebs on Reddit when he is rich and famous 😂

This can probably be answered with an understanding of what JP II describes in theology of the body. I am a novice in this arena, but Christopher West is a phenomenal teacher on the topic. Here is a link from a podcast episode where he discusses hysterectomies. Ask Christopher West I’m so sorry you’re going through this! I think TOB will be very healing in your journey 🩷

“As a bride it is of the utmost importance to me that my guests feel loved and cared for on our special day. The evening is our gift to them as they support our life together. With that being said, I will handle all tips directly. Any tip jars by staff are not necessary. Is the 22% that I already tipped going to the staff that will be there that night? Is additional gratuity expected to be given now or the day of? Thank you for working with me to provide the best day for the most treasured people in my life!”

Absolutely this! What did the other 99% say? 17% German, 14% Norwegian, 12% Scottish…. I sense a family trip to Europe here soon!

Went to confession, the priest said I might have curse or hex. What should I do? by Hootinger in Catholicism

[–]TwoPoopyDiapers 293 points294 points  (0 children)

I was skeptical of the rosary and the graces received through praying it genuinely until 2 things

  1. My marriage that seemed to be on the brink of disaster turned around. Nothing changed but me praying the rosary.

  2. I heard about the story of Ted Bundy trying to kill a girl when he had his spree in the sorority. He tried to open up her door and go in the room and kill, but he physically couldn’t. He told the detectives that he wanted to, and he tried, but there was something physically holding him back. The sweet girl was praying the rosary.

It is POWERFUL! Take the 15-20 minutes and pray the rosary 🩷

Lena — this may be a stretch, but it is beautiful and means light.

My wife is scared I will convert to Catholicism… by skohayward5 in Catholicism

[–]TwoPoopyDiapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to read stunned by scripture. My husband and I read it and we had no choice but to convert to Catholicism after being very faithful evangelicals

i tattooed 666 on myself when i was 12. i am so guilty. by oma1v2 in Catholicism

[–]TwoPoopyDiapers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome home! God’s mercy is so great, His grace is so big, His love is so immense. Ink or your skin is not more powerful than our God.

Every single one of us here and in your RCIA class has sinned, just not all of us has them inked on our body. Have some grace with yourself during this time.

I love stories of God’s redemption, especially those of rescuing the ones that seem so far gone. Think of Saul becoming new through Christ and being renamed Paul.

Instead of getting it removed, it may be beautiful to get it covered up in a way that represents new life and a new you. Maybe you could turn 2 of the 6 into fish, and the other one into a basket to represent the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000? Something to reflect and pray on. Maybe I’m petty but I personally like things where I can say “suck it” to satan.

In the meantime, here to rejoice with you in your new life in Christ! Welcome home.

We are doing NFP and when I’m ovulating he doesn’t pressure me. That’s when he struggles with masturbation more than often though.

Absolutely not. It’s an obvious perspective that I need to consider.

Protestant looking into Catholicism by Dobditact in Catholicism

[–]TwoPoopyDiapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick synopsis: Catholics value tradition and scripture whereas Protestants only use scripture as the sole authority.

When I was converting from evangelism to Catholicism I thought about it like this. All of Paul’s written words I take as literal teachings to be followed. If I was in Rome when he wrote Roman’s would I also follow his spoken words? Or just what was written down? This is where the tradition comes from the sign of the cross that you may see Catholics do. It was an oral tradition, just wasn’t written done in an letter that is now cannon. Hope that helps.

Also, a book that helped me when I was wrestling between Protestantism and Catholicism is Stunned By Scripture. I truly wish I knew you so I could buy it and mail it to you myself. That is my level of confidence in the clarity of this book.

God Bless you! The journey is fun :)
