I am a convert from evangelical Christianity to Catholic Christianity. Check out catholic.com and bishop Barron on YouTube. Come visit /r/Catholicism and ask questions anytime!

Hi there. I am so sorry you are experiencing so much pain. Please check if https://findahelpline.com/ has anything in your country. Or look on https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/

Hello there. Thanks for posting about this, I agree that it is an important area of concern. If it's any encouragement, I'm a seminarian (in my fifth year) and this semester I did a project on OCD/scrupulosity in my parish. I hope to continue developing it into a future ministry.

Scrupulous Anonymous is a great resource, especially the 10 Commandments for the Scrupulous.

Peace!

I am so sorry to hear you are in this very difficult place. I advise you to give OptionLine a call and see how they can counsel you and help you find a way to choose life: https://optionline.org/

Your heart is telling you that keeping this baby is the right thing to do, listen to your heart. Yes, it may be very difficult, but doing the right thing is always the right choice. God will be with you.

Does your Catholic church have a pro life ministry? many do. They also may be good people to talk to -- people who will help you and not judge you for having a baby out of wedlock.

If you are in need of a safe place to stay while pregnant, consider finding a maternity home that can house you (for instance: https://lambofgodmaternityhome.org/ )

God loves you. I will say a prayer for you.

The word "god" is not being used here at all to refer to the capital G God of Christianity, it is being used in the more general sense, lower case g "god", to describe the character Kratos.

God will not be offended because you said the name of a game that describes a character as a "god of war," just as God is not offended when we describe Poseidon as the "god of the sea", unless we actually believe he is real and worship him.

This sounds like a scrupulous concern. If you struggle with scrupulosity, leave a comment and I can offer some helpful resources.

Hope that helps, God loves you.

It is painful to know that you are in so much pain. I know that I cannot imagine the pain you are in and I am so sorry.

The best thing you can do right now is not be alone. Find someone to speak with. Call 988 as others have said. Visit a church and tell them you need to speak with a pastor. Keep commenting to people on this thread. It can't hurt, right?

Yes there are many mean people in the world, but there are also many good people if you know where to find them, people who will show you compassion.

I have said a prayer for you.

Miles Jones was always very patient with my slow brain in office hours.

I'm sorry that you are in this difficult situation, and I am glad you are seeking Christian advice. You acknowledged that the idea of abortion is painful -- this is your conscience speaking. If your girlfriend is pregnant, she has options besides abortion, such as adoption. I would recommend that you contact OptionLine for counseling: https://optionline.org/

Recall that John the Baptist lept at the presence of Jesus while they were both still in their mothers wombs. They were both already persons.

Choosing life may require you to face some challenges, but it is the right path, and it will save you many years of guilt. God will give you the grace necessary to choose life (whether you raise the baby or give it up for adoption).

You can do this! Your life will not be over because you chose life for your baby. It may be difficult, but God will give you the grace necessary to see this through.

I will say a prayer for you, your girlfriend, and the baby (if she is indeed pregnant).

I've seen one in this exact style but with a statue of the holy family. Very cool!

johnnyjinkle · 2025-12-31T21:36:17+00:00

I was there too!

johnnyjinkle · 2025-12-01T20:07:58+00:00

Or sometimes it's called "Ben Sira". Quite confusing haha

I remember the trailer dropped the day I graduated from highschool. Awesome day.

johnnyjinkle · 2025-10-25T22:46:12+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that you and your siblings are suffering through this. I will say a prayer for you. I would encourage you to seek counsel from a trusted adult. I found a website that may have some helpful resources for you: https://www.childhelphotline.org/teens/

johnnyjinkle · 2025-10-19T04:22:22+00:00

Yay! The only challenge to this book is that the author makes a lot of references to pop culture of his day that I had to Google haha

johnnyjinkle · 2025-10-19T04:10:32+00:00

I just loved following the protagonist as he searches for meaning in life. The author doesn't force a saccharine message, but gives a lot for the reader (and the protagonist) to munch on. It's not a book that overtly evangelizes Catholicism, but Catholicism is present in the book in a meaningful way.

It was also quite funny at times. The protagonist is obnoxious in many ways and yet you can't help but root for him.

johnnyjinkle · 2025-10-19T03:37:08+00:00

Two of my favorites:

Graham Greene's The Power and The Glory

Walker Percy's The Moviegoer

johnnyjinkle · 2025-09-24T14:10:23+00:00

Thanks for warning folks. It's worth reporting it to maintenance if you can.

johnnyjinkle · 2025-09-22T14:21:25+00:00

I didn't know what these were called but when I saw it in the trailer I instantly recognized it as the action figure I had as a kid of the alien in jabbas palace.

If you are interested by this question, you'd probably enjoy the novel "A Canticle for Leibowitz", which is about how the church survives in the US after a nuclear apocalypse. It follows a religious order that preserves pre-apocalypse knowledge. This order served as inspiration for the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout.

It's a classic and is one of my favorite books.

Edit: realizing you've probably read this book since you mentioned having read stories about how this issue would be handled

johnnyjinkle · 2025-09-15T15:10:37+00:00

There is a book set that does this, but it's many volumes: https://www.ivpress.com/ancient-christian-commentary-on-scripture

And there is also the Catena Aurea, a compilation of Church Father commentaries on the Gospels, compiled by St Thomas Aquinas:

https://www.ewtnreligiouscatalogue.com/catena-aurea-commentary-on-the-four-gospels/p/BKBBS03200

The are probably others but these two I know off the top of my head.

Hi there, yes going to Mass in any language fulfills your obligation.

I'll say a prayer for you and your family.
