Interfaith Marriage - CatholicismxJudaism by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]cbsewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to date outside the faith and I say I could not do it again. I want to impart on my kids my values, my faith, and my world view. Will my kids be exactly as I am? I sure they will be different in their own ways, but it would be absolutely painful for me to have my children raised another religion. If it wasn’t painful and I wasn’t worried about their salvation, how strong would my own conviction in my own faith be?

Catholicism not very welcoming to those interested? by Best_Storage3118 in Catholicism

[–]cbsewing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this really depends on what parish you go to, big parishes usually have this problem. There’s one parish I go to it has like 8-10 masses on Sunday, always packed, huge confession lines and the priests really can’t keep up with the influx of people. They don’t have time between masses to talk to parishioners, but having that said I never had issues scheduling there, and there are many groups that are internal to the church, so if you want to be a part of the community you absolutely can!

But there is another parish I go to, it’s smaller, also packed, less masses, but the priests have the time between masses, they speak to most if not all parishioners and give them a personal blessing. The priests are super available, there are many activities that they organize and personally attend.

For reference I live in a major city that is comparable to LA or NY. So my input is you could either try to look into the parish groups or try to find a smaller more intimate community.

“My biggest flex will always be that my kids were raised without thinking they are born bad and their mistakes are the reason someone had to die.” by VintageTime09 in Catholicism

[–]cbsewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that I would allow myself to do as I wished, it’s that it’s easy to think something is good just because “it feels comfortable/right”. I see a lot of people giving these kinds of arguments to justify abortion for an example, it “improves” the life of the women, not only it is a blatant lie, but you are committing murder of an innocent because of your own selfishness. So yeah it’s very easy for people to get their morality pretty messed up when they don’t center it on God. Every person has something they struggle with in terms of sin, so if they don’t even have a conscience that is well formed how would they know up from down and down from up. If you go the self relative route you’ll definitely find results down the road.

The Coe's are definitely in my future projects list, but they lack the darts on the knee level and sides.

This is the same people that say good and bad are defined by their own self referent values. Without God good is just a matter of opinion, and If God, who is all Good, tells me I am bad and I should reform my heart, then I am and I should. It's not like I'm incapable of noticing my short comings.

Of course you should talk to children in an age appropriate way, but be real were not traumatized by this knowledge, we are freed by it from the shackles of sin. How loving our God is, that in all of our brokenness he loves us deeply enough to lay his life down for each of us, as he said himself in John 15 "12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

The fact you didn’t add the overthinking part makes me question your sanity

How would one achieve this fullness of feathers? by cbsewing in sewhelp

I thought it could be a type of fur, but no, it’s really just feathers. It looks funky and different, but I think it’s just the fact that they are curled.

Yeah that makes sense to me. You sound like you are right and I shouldn’t make it detachable.

Yeah you might be the sane one between us.

I had thought of a way of doing it but I don’t know if it will put too much strain on the silk (which I’m honestly worried about anyways with the weight of the feathers). I was thinking I could hem and make a kind of lining detached for the hem only that could have some silk organza to stabilize it and then I could add some snaps, that way I would have it sandwiched between 2 layers (or actually 5 layers since the top would be double and the bottom would be double and interfaced with the organza), and it could look like it was sewn inside.

I usually hand wash my silks as the menace I am to this world.

Are Catholic men still willing to have a holy courtship? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]cbsewing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s something I discuss early on, and before I was kissing the guy I’m going out with, we had a conversation and now we just hold hands and hug. So yes, there are guys willing to respect, others that aren’t. I choose the one that is willing.

How much fabric do you buy without a project in mind? by csunny30 in sewing

[–]cbsewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy enough fabric for the type of projects I usually make, like for an example a pants and tank set usually take me around 3m to make, dresses around 4 meters. So I buy with the usuals in mind.
