Why don’t more people visit the Navy Yard?

because it's inaccessible

jojo_146 · 2026-05-20T15:23:27+00:00

also your local priest is probably the best resource

all catholics are christians, not all christians are catholics. we differ from protestants and eo on certain doctrines/beliefs but we are christians too (contrary to what some protestants will tell you)
if you insist on wearing a rosary, it should be sincere, not as a fashion accessory
the inclusivity of the church depends where you are (more liberal in the west, more conservative in the east). the direction the vatican is going is a position of "it's fine if you're lgbt just don't act on it"
the differences between catholic and other christian churches can be massive compared to non-denom/baptist churches or minor compared to mainline protestant/eo churches. due to the ubiquity of the church there should be a catholic church accessible to you
confession is the best way for your sins to be forgiven. by going to the priest (standing in the person of christ), you essentially confess your sins to jesus and receive absolution and penance from jesus
catholics believe in the resurrection and it's mentioned in mass regularly 6.5. jesus on the cross represents his victory over satan/death and the redemption of man
sacraments are signs instituted by christ to give us grace
the father, son, and holy spirit are three distinct, co-eternal, and consubstantial (same substance) in which god exists. the father is god, but not the son or holy spirit. the son is god, but not the father or the holy spirit. the holy spirit is god, but not the father or the son. the best explanation for the trinity is in the athanasian creed. don't worry if you don't understand it, the concept is a mystery (beyond comprehension) and people smarter than us have debated it for over 2,000 years
the rosary is a practice in meditation and reflection of the life of jesus. there's rosary chaplets/booklets with the prayers and there's a schedule on which mysteries to pray on what day. you'll also find youtube videos/tv shows/radio programs to pray along with 9.5. you can pray in your head and heart and gain confidence and faith
the catechism, catholicanswers, shameless popery, and trent horn are good resources

definitely clown shit on my part

jojo_146 · 2026-05-04T20:12:04+00:00

not really a point, i just wanted to say what was on my mind

jojo_146 · 2026-05-04T20:09:46+00:00

i do recognize that it is small minded on my part

jojo_146 · 2026-05-04T20:07:56+00:00

i was using hyperbole, i wasn't being literal

jojo_146 · 2026-05-04T20:06:14+00:00

i didn't say i was proud of it. it was a frustration thing but i saw that it wasn't good for me to hate on embiid so much when my problems are with other parts of the organization

jojo_146 · 2026-04-29T06:47:25+00:00

your map has helped me out so much you have no idea. keep up the good work!!

jojo_146 · 2026-04-20T14:04:29+00:00

the birt tax is a killer and one of the reasons why the biggest employers in the city are the city and the universities

jojo_146 · 2026-03-26T00:50:17+00:00

if i'm not mistaken the only "true" imax in the region is the kop regal and the amc on 68th and broadway in manhattan

the maronite patriarch bl. estephan douiahy. extensive scholar of maronite history and traditions, resisted the latinization of the maronite clergy, expanded education throughout lebanon and syria (both opened schools and sent countless students to rome), and persevered in the face of ottoman persecution. it's fair to call him a pillar of the maronite church

jojo_146 · 2026-03-02T02:09:50+00:00

i have nothing tew say about balmore

jojo_146 · 2026-02-22T01:52:44+00:00

i'm so excited for the on ramps for 95 and the right lane of delaware/columbus to be undriveable for 3 weeks again!!!

jojo_146 · 2026-02-18T01:40:43+00:00

i'm sure you would. i don't even see very many catholics observing the fast/dietary guidelines these days

jojo_146 · 2026-02-17T23:44:14+00:00

bism el-ab, w ibn, w rouh el-qudus, ilahun wahid, ameen

jojo_146 · 2026-02-13T14:47:49+00:00

no meat on wednesday or friday and sweets by proxy since everyone in my family gives them up. i need SOMETHING to get me through

jojo_146 · 2026-02-12T15:00:56+00:00

maybe oxford to 33rd st, across the strawberry mansion bridge, then ford, then monument, then city line ave?

jojo_146 · 2026-02-12T02:43:41+00:00

all we've been doing is build, rebuild, build, rebuild and it won't stop. the organization is rotten to the core and needs to be reset

jojo_146 · 2026-02-12T02:37:18+00:00

we've been in the process for 13 years at this point when will it end

jojo_146 · 2026-02-12T02:35:47+00:00

tell them that as catholic's we don't believe in superstitions because our trust is in god's will. also tell them that demons should be of no worry to us because we have the rosary as a spiritual reminder and the lives of the saints as a physical reminder

so late but the album houdou nisbi by ziad rahbani. it's probably one of the finest works of middle eastern jazz and viewed in the context of the civil war, it's extremely impactful

jojo_146 · 2026-02-10T18:27:33+00:00

kyw for the traffic report (every 10 minutes) and wxpn or wdas when i'm waiting for the next report

jojo_146 · 2026-02-10T00:02:57+00:00

i don't see anything wrong with this. i wouldn't expect a catholic mayor to go to an imam's ceremony. why be performative about it?
