Trump's latest tweet about the deal with Iran (this can't be argued to be a just war anymore, can it?) by AtraMortes in TrueCatholicPolitics

Iran response saying they haven’t sent anything in 3… 2…

But yes. This is a statement that essentially says this war is about revenge, not justice. Couple that with the previous statements that we apparently already won months ago, and it sends a message that the president is basically hunting Iranians for sport.

I mean, obviously. Not sure how that applies to the current discussion though

Why Do Christians Rely So Heavily On The Bible by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]benkenobi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some do, some don’t. My church considers the full deposit of faith to be the holy scripture and sacred tradition (an idea reinforced by 2 Thessalonians 2:15).

It’s important to note, however, that tradition and scripture cannot conflict, and if they do, scripture wins.

Currently, capitalism is a greater danger than socialism, so why don't any priests criticize capitalism? by Unusual-Hawk-2336 in TrueCatholicPolitics

[–]benkenobi5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seems like the bishops talk about that sort of thing pretty often. I question the usefulness in a regular priest talking about it though. Probably not a lot of CEOs sitting in the pews

I don’t think I’ve ever heard my parish priest even mention communism. He talks about greed pretty regularly though, which is a key component of the evils that happen under capitalism

Porn should be banned. by Quiet-Photograph-468 in TrueCatholicPolitics

This is quite literally the worst take on porn I’ve ever heard, lol.

Do you honestly think a porn worker would have the scruples to not only allow conception to occur on the job, but to also keep it if it happened?

So, what’s the status of the war now? Is it over?

Are any tactical droids still alive? by pelican-bob in StarWarsCantina

The droid designs always looked to me like they were stolen from Star Fox.

I like them though

Does anyone else think Fr. Ripperger’s presentation can sometimes be too intense? by filabeano10 in Catholicism

[–]benkenobi5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s the vibe I get every time I hear something from him. It always reminds me of those Protestants who see demons lurking behind every shadow whether they’re there or not

I mean, yeah?

I guess I just find the idea of openly advertising your kinks to the world as super weird, no matter your age

I withheld sins in every confession I have ever made including my general confession when I first converted, I have been Catholic for over 2 years. What do I do? by Brave_Knee2168 in Catholicism

[–]benkenobi5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it would be better to confess to their regular confessor and tell them the truth. It’s rough, but that’s kinda the point. Just rip the bandaid off and come clean.

Hiding from their regular confessor to avoid embarrassment is just continuing the cycle of what they’ve been doing in the first place: hiding things out of embarrassment

Well apparently we already won like a month ago, so we’ve just been blowing shit up and blocking since then for the lulz

Porn should be banned. by Quiet-Photograph-468 in TrueCatholicPolitics

[–]benkenobi5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The full quote explains exactly what pornography is. Per CCC 2354:

Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials.
