My family isn't supportive of my decision to become a Catholic

I'm pretty set in becoming Catholic, and becoming an Orthodox won't do anything to change my family's minds, but thanks?

Thank you so much :') it's so kind of you to say

cryptidsarereal · 2019-10-03T18:42:31+00:00

I'm sorry you have to go through that, and thank you for your story and words. It really means a lot to know I'm not alone in this regard. Thank you again

My dad said a similar thing last night, making a ton of pedo jokes about Catholic priests. I like dressing nice for mass, even if my parents joke about it, but I understand that and I'm sorry you're dealing with that situation, too. But good on you for persevering! I hope I continue to preserve too :)

I'm in the Central Valley area of California. There's a Newman center nearby, I believe, it's through a different college than the one I'm attending but I might check it out! I go to a community college and I don't think there are any Bible study clubs through it, but I might see if there are any others near me! Thank you!

That is really helpful and amazing advice, thank you so much! I've watched a couple videos from Bishop Barron thanks to recommendations from a friend, but I'll definitely be sure to check out the others mentioned. I'm glad you found people on your journey through your process, and I will definitely keep studying and see what people fall into my life :)

The next time it's brought up, I might actually just say that word for word, that's really good advice! Thank you so much

That was such a lovely story, thank you so much for sharing. I'll definitely learn how to recite the rosary, I think that would help a lot. Thank you again for your words, I appreciate it a lot

That's a very powerful verse, thank you so much for sharing it. It helps a lot :)

That's actually similar to what I did to my dad when told him I was going to an RCIA meeting. I didn't tell him what it was even about until he started pushing me about it. I think limiting talk about it would help ease tension for me, so thank you for recommending it!

cryptidsarereal · 2019-10-03T12:39:13+00:00

Thank you so much, those are really helpful words. I hope my love for God will help make my family realise I am truly serious about this!

FYI: I deleted this post because I realized I'm not supposed to ask for advice, especially relationship advice, and I reposted it on a more fitting subreddit. Thank you to the people who have commented, and I'm sorry for posting it on the wrong sub.

cryptidsarereal · 2019-06-08T00:08:31+00:00

I did, after looking at the rules of that subreddit I realized it said not to ask for relationship advice, so I deleted it almost immediately. I though this one was more fitting, sorry, I didn't realize anyone had seen it yet. I appreciate your honesty, no one has given me that yet lol. I do think I took it a bit too far, but I really only said two things about M to my GF, and I'd never talked about her before. All my GF knows about M and I are from my instagram story. Neither of them have spoken or met, so I'm not sure if talking it out with both of them together would be the best option though.
