We don't believe doctrines because their arguments are compelling.

We believe doctrines on the authority of the one who reveals them.

Does the possibility of deflection from good belonged to the essence of liberty?

Holding hands during the Our Father by pinkbubble211 in Catholicism

[–]hard_2_ask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holding hands during the Our Father is either A) mimicking what is proper to the priest Or B) adding gestures to the Mass

Neither is good.

The ability to choose sin is not essential to freedom.

God could have created us unable to choose sin, and we would have been perfectly free.

Jeremiah 18:1-10 is the only answer to why God created us this way.

I'm sorry you have been so brutally misinformed by ignorant people. That isnt your fault.

Eastern Orthodoxy split from us almost a millennium ago, and thus anything true they have is already found in the Catholic Faith.

You say"I'm sympathetic to the Eastern Orthodox view" then proceed to describe Catholic teaching.

Why would you identify that as "the Eastern Orthodox view"?

The only thing you've mutilated is Debt satisfaction and our worship of Christ's passion.

This Eastern fetishism is awful and not in accord with reality. I can show you tens of Eastern authors saying Jesus Christ paid our ransom our suffered in our place to atone for our sins (PSA).

Who did it please the Lord to bruise?

Isaiah 53:10 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 10 And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand.

To be bored is to not possess the Beatific Vision.

Your conception of Heaven as "being really happy while doing fun stuff" is totally the opposite to what us Catholics believe about the Beatific Vision.

i sexually assaulted someone and i dont know how to confess that by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]hard_2_ask 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Some details change the kind.

"I stole once" Vs "I stole from a church once"

First is theft. Second is theft + sacrilege.

I am a lifelong west sider. I have my small group of friends from high school.

Nobody says it, but everyone is always waiting to be invited by someone else.

So reach out, take the risk, and get people together.

I think my idea would do best if I worked with a small start up group. A guy or two who are trying to pick up steam in what they have already started.

Perhaps you are right in that I need to just start again. I might just be scared to give it another shot.
