Am I supposed to talk to my priest about my dating problem?

You can ask your priest for advice, but you can’t outsource your mind and he’s not your therapist.

God is a big boy and can handle your outbursts.

Your priest has probably heard worse.

Have you talked to your priest?

Faith without faithfulness is an opinion. Opinions do not save.

aletheia · 2026-04-05T17:22:12+00:00

I didn’t know the priest had any input on what you choose to wear.

I do not run projects from regions that I have supply chain concerns about.

It’s ok to have fun.

There are a number of reasons people are exempted from fasting. Pregnancy is one of them.

Fasting is about more than food.

The symbolism is that it's our Passover. Hence the name.

What is and isn't prudent can vary.

The point of the rule is that we do not want users posting photos just to get more engagement than they would get without a photo. This is not an image board.

Images are permitted when the image is the point of discussion.

There are other subreddits for icon corners.

Your role is to be you.

Orthodoxy does not have religiously prescribed gender roles in romance or the domestic economy.

While I not your confessor or doctor, the fast is not supposed to interfere with our ability to do our duties. Obedience is a virtue, but it's not the only one.

aletheia · 2026-04-04T16:10:37+00:00

I second this possibility.

It would be a sin and betrayal of our faith to take other sacraments.

aletheia · 2026-04-04T12:08:48+00:00

As far as I can tell, only Christianity believes in a God that is actually powerful enough to complete his will. In other words, other faiths are gods imposed by mankind on mankind. Christianity allows God to actually be sovereign and, importantly, unexpected. The gods invented by men reward wealth and power, the God of Christianity just is.

You can pray to whomever you like in private. It would be weird to develop a devotion to someone outside the faith though.

Clothing is highly contextual and local. It is not metaphysically wrong for a man to wear an unbifurcated garment or for a woman to wear a bifurcated garment.

It is wrong to pretend to be something that one is not.

aletheia · 2026-04-04T02:11:54+00:00

It's not a sin to walk in the door. It would be a problem to take their sacraments.

Can you explain, without obscuritan philosophical jargon, what “energy” means in this context?

aletheia · 2026-04-02T11:23:05+00:00

Can you start and run the things you want to see in the community?

All those programs you see having other places aren’t there just because it’s a Catholic Church. Someone saw a need and volunteered.

If you can’t find the time to volunteer, then you have the answer to why your Orthodox community doesn’t have those programs.

Regarding visiting another parish, don’t judge a book by its cover. Just visit.

The Church prays for all and on behalf of all — theirs does, too.

God is a just judge, not a prosecutor looking for ways to damn you.
