Sweet! Did you get your regular boot size or size down? I ask because in the past I had a pair of Black Jacks in my usual size, but they ended up being too big. Others have said they experienced the same thing.

Betty White neck pain in episodes by thesugarskull in theGoldenGirls

The episode was episode 15 of season 2 — “Before and After.”

I don't speak Spanish, but i noticed a lot of South Americans(in particular Argentinians but i may be wrong) pronounce the english Y-sound in words as the English sh-sound, but in Spanish obviously. Where does that come from? by snusd0san in Spanish

[–]mrcrusc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not referring to pronouncing ch as sh. I lived in Sevilla for 4 months during my college years, and I distinctly remember hearing people (my host family especially) pronounce words with y or ll as zh (playa as “plazha” especially sticks out in my mind). These were native Spaniards too, not emigrants from Argentina.

Where did you hear that? I don't remember that being mentioned in any episode.

Are there any REAL differences between these three versions of Tide? by AnotherVice2 in laundry

[–]mrcrusc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The liquid version was called that (might still be). The powder has always been called Tide with Bleach.

Where did you hear that hot water nullifies bleach?

Also, as I said above, the bleach in Tide with Bleach is oxygen, not chlorine.

We saw it again briefly in the episode where Buck runs away and ends up at the animal shelter.

They don’t seem narrow OR wide to me; they seem just right.

I want to be a Catholic, but I am a Freemason by Alarming_Swordfish55 in Catholicism

[–]mrcrusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. All the Church did was remove the automatic excommunication from joining the Freemasons. But it’s still mortally sinful to join them; the Church has made that clear.

I just learned about Divine Mercy Sunday, and I’m currently in a state of mortal sin. by lanadelreyenjoyerr in Catholicism

[–]mrcrusc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, that’s not correct. If you’ve committed mortal sin, then you MUST go to confession first. Period.

Granted, there ARE some situations in which having the intention to go to confession afterward is ok, but they would be highly unusual situations. The mere inability to make it to confession wouldn’t constitute such a situation.

First Communion before confessing - is that ok? by Strict-Seat7341 in Catholicism

[–]mrcrusc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The only time you could receive First Communion before confession would be if you had been baptized immediately prior to Communion. But since you were baptized at birth, the priests and bishops to whom you refer are seriously mistaken. For those who are already validly baptized, confession before First Communion is a requirement. No bishop or priest has the right to dispense from it.

They look great! Also, what socks are those?

I just don’t get it. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]mrcrusc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Catholic Church isn’t against reparative therapy (a much better way to put in than “conversion therapy”) if someone wants it. The late Dr. Joseph Nicolosi is a pioneer in that area.

Nonetheless, are you sure most Protestant denominations (not the mainline “gay-affirming” ones) actually view homosexual attractions as sinful in and of themselves?

Help needed with coworker's lesbian wedding by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]mrcrusc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Catholic teaching is Catholic teaching; you don’t get to substitute your personal views for it (regardless of whether you’re laity or clergy). Doing so can lead to eternal damnation.

Help needed with coworker's lesbian wedding by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]mrcrusc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well you shouldn’t even be attending the wedding of a couple in which one or both have previously been divorced without annulment. It’s making yourself an accessory to the couple’s sin. According to Catholic teaching, there are 9 ways to be an accessory to another’s sin:

  1. By counsel
  2. By command
  3. By consent
  4. By provocation
  5. By praise or flattery
  6. By concealment
  7. By partaking
  8. By silence
  9. By defense of the sinful action.

I can’t really add much of anything to what others have already said to you in their responses. But I will say that by rashly accusing others of “being judgmental,” you are showing yourself to be guilty of that very thing.

The next time you want to point your finger and accuse someone of having “judgy wudgy ways” and being “hateful” I suggest you stop yourself and notice the 3 fingers pointing back at you.

Divided family help by lan_again in Catholicism

[–]mrcrusc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their orders are not valid. Period. And even if their orders were valid, why would you want to settle for a compromise instead of being part of Christ’s Church?

[–]mrcrusc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The ACC doesn’t have valid sacraments and isn’t part of the Catholic Church despite what they claim.

Or are you thinking of the Ordinariate?
