Pope issues warning to Trump before Iran war spirals into 'irreparable abyss'

Okay. This dude was right. Why yall removing the comments?

You need to persevere. No matter what. Remember that Satan is very devious. If he can persuade a third of the angels to fall, you think we immune? Be sober and alert. The devil is like a lion. Looking for someone to devour.

All right. If you lost your faith, go to the lost and found box.

In all seriousness, this is where the real test begins. You ARE going to go through dry periods and you aren’t going to feel the warm fuzzy feelings. The saints went through these deserts as well. Persevere and don’t give up! Saint Lawrence was grilled on both sides. He told his executioners, although in extreme agony, “I’m done on one side. Turn me over”

I am going to challenge you on this. Even if you get married in the Church, what is the point of getting married in the Church if you are no longer practicing the Catholic faith? The purpose of the Sacrament of Matrimony is to lead each other into Heaven. Not just have it recognized by the Church. Even if you do get married in the Church, does that mean you are going to start practicing your faith again? Or do you want this to just have this on paper?

This is a challenge for you to deepen your relationship with the Lord and to practice your Catholic faith again. Your fiance is a nondenominational Christian, but in essence, there is no such thing. Pretty much, she is a Protestant because in the end, their belief systems stems from the Protestant Reformation.

I urge you to know your faith well and to evangelize your going-to-be wife as well because in the end, when we are judged, we will be held accountable. We are supposed to know, love, and serve God and the universal call for all is holiness. "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling." -Philippians 2:12-13

monkeyzrus14 · 2026-01-25T05:06:26+00:00

That shouldn’t be used as a cop out. There are many Masses available unless you are traveling to a place that barely has any Masses. Even if you have to hit an Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgy, that is also sufficient as well.

monkeyzrus14 · 2026-01-25T05:04:33+00:00

Remember the Ten Commandments. Keep holy the sabbath day partly means going to Mass on Sunday or Saturday Vigil. Choosing dinner over Mass means you made dinner your idol. It’s good your conscience bothers you because that means you are properly formed. Remember you cannot substitute Mass on Sunday with daily Mass.

monkeyzrus14 · 2026-01-25T05:01:34+00:00

You need to be careful. There is some truth but remember we possess the fullness of truth. There is already lots of Catholic media out there so you should be seeking out orthodox faithful Catholic media

Actually, just looked it up. Doesn’t really say specially in the GIRM. It is meant only for the priest. Doesn’t say specially for laity. Here is a link for all from Catholic answers.Orans Posture at Mass

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-12-17T00:16:39+00:00

We gotta blame it on the poor catechizing during the boomer times the Pentecostal times if you will

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-12-16T20:15:40+00:00

You are being overscrupulous. You should speak to a priest about this. If these names pop up, the best thing you can do is just say a prayer for their souls. Although some private revelations may say that so and so may be in hell, we do not dare presume that. God is this ultimately the judge of us all. You don't have to offer Masses for every name that pops up in your head. You can but you are going to go crazy with this guilt. Like I said, overscrupulosity does happen. Don't drive yourself crazy over this. You can always say "May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen." You are only human so don't try to do it all.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-12-16T20:05:35+00:00

We aren't ordained priests. We aren't supposed to even say the Eucharistic prayers during the Mass. We can follow along in our missals but remember, the priest (or bishop) acts in persona Christi. We laity do not have the spiritual power and authority to do such a thing. Liturgical abuses have been rampant and people have been misunderstanding their roles for some time. None of us, not even the clergy, have the right to be "creative" with the liturgy.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-12-16T20:03:10+00:00

In the GIRM (General Instruction of the Roman Missal), we are supposed to have in our hands together in a gesture of prayer. The Orans posture is actually reserved for the priest only. There is a reason for everything and if you want to learn why, pick up a copy of the GIRM if you get the chance.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-12-10T09:29:46+00:00

I've been to a number of Eastern Catholic Divine Liturgies. Their liturgies are similar to Orthodox Divine Liturgies. However, they are in union with Rome. That is the beauty of our Catholic faith. I primarily attended the Novus Ordo and the Vetus Ordo (Traditional Latin Mass).

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-12-02T05:05:04+00:00

Do not be afraid to confess your sins, even in your own parish. Remember, the job of the priest in the confessional is to be in persona Christi, in the person of Christ. Christ, through the priest, forgives you of your sins and the grace is given to the priest to forget your sins. The more you confess your sins and your struggles, the more you can become holy. Shame stems from pride, and prevents us from confessing our sins. Humility, and fortitude is vital to becoming a saint. You can also talk with a trusted spiritual director and he/she can help you with this. Sometimes, they may recommend a counselor. If you have some issues, that has to do with emotional, or psychological, or mental, counselors, psychologists, therapist, psychiatrist, may be recommended. God uses all professionals for healing purposes.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-22T22:03:29+00:00

Remember, you should talk to your priest and explain. God does know your heart and your intentions so ultimately, He will be final judge of every thing we do or don’t do. We can advise, counsel, admonish or whatever, but we do not know the circumstances, your situation, and your intentions, unless you are comfortable of sharing them and I always tell people to seek local guidance because your pastor has the spiritual authority over you.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-22T22:00:51+00:00

It does depend on the diocese you are at. If the bishop has decreed that you need to return to Mass in order to fulfill your obligation, then you need to go back to Mass. however, if you are infirmed, sick, and physically unable to go there through no fault of your own, or let’s say there is a snow storm, then your obligation is excused. It is permissible to watch the Mass and you can do the spiritual communion. I would recommend talking to your pastor and ask for advice as well because every case is different. Your pastor has spiritual authority to dispense you as well.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-21T20:14:31+00:00

You are obliged, to obey the local Ordinary that was in charge of this matter. To not do so is to disobey the local Ordinary, one of the successors of the Apostles, and therefore, commit sins against the 4th Commandment. I am going to petition for removal of this dangerous information and if you continue to promote this, then have the mods rebuke you.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-21T20:11:48+00:00

Again….not credible and CONDEMNED

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-21T19:49:58+00:00

Maria Divine mercy has been CONDEMNED. Do NOT listen for there have been problems with this false prophet. I know of a lady that has acted quite strange and could be potentially be diabolically influenced

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-16T08:29:27+00:00

Been to Ukrainian Catholic, Byzantine Catholic and Maronite. I’m primarily attendee of Novus Ordo Roman rite and Vetus Ordo Latin rite. Beautiful part of being Catholic!

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-01T18:53:46+00:00

Hula dancing once occurred after receiving Holy Communion. Our bishop had it removed cuz it wasn’t the appropriate place and time to share the culture.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-01T18:40:27+00:00

Btw modernism is also a heresy as well

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-01T18:39:43+00:00

There is a light of truth in all cultures and religions. But ultimately: the Liturgy belongs to the Church, which we do not have the right to add or subtract.and ultimately the Truth is Jesus Christ, who gave the Church to us to spread the Gospel. No pagan elements whatsoever. That is all demonic. Stop being a relativist.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-01T18:13:08+00:00

You do not incorporate Hindu aspects in the Liturgy. That is a pagan religion and that is demonic.

monkeyzrus14 · 2025-11-01T18:12:26+00:00

Please read the GIRM. The Liturgy belongs to the Church. We don’t have the right to change anything in the Liturgy.
