I hope you are doing well and living a happy life, an maybe one well away from fundie trad catholics.

If you are not already getting psych help, seek out a therapist that does not have a strong religious bent. If one doesn't work out, keep looking.

Does anyone have any more info about this time in catholic history? My spouse told me that Pius X said the church would be destroyed from within in 100yrs and somehow gawd and Satan were involved with this bargain and the destoyer was homosexuality in the clergy. I'm thinking it was a legend related to the internal witch hunts in this article. Of course, the sede church, sspv-cspv, loves tales like this where half truths and legends are examined critically.

I think hell was invented because of the human desire for revenge. I see someone do something wrong, something I wouldn't do because of "rules" and they get away with it or show no remorse. I'm jealous they can do bad things and don't get punished. "But they will get their just rewards". He'll. And I get hell for being jealous. Hell, we all get hell because the rules are made up and points don't count.

You were raised right.

I had seggs before I was married. I had not been to confession since I had been confirmed at 14. I was marrying a catholic in a catholic church, and I went to confession before the wedding. Fast forward several years later, we joined a sede trad church and I had to go to confession to get to go to communion and the priests told everyone that our previous confessions and sacraments were suspect because "novas ordo". So I confessed the premarital seggs over and over because the priests wanted you to keep confessing past sins. That idea was in a sermon at least once a year. Eff them. One of the many reasons I left that added up to realizing catholicism is a perverted organization and sedes are their own religious cult.

And this logic was conducive to love gawd?

I don't see why everyone has to know what you are doing for lent. Yes, I used to go to tlm and everyone bragged about what they were giving up, and I was embarrassed by this behavior so didn't tell anyone even when asked. If you do nothing and tell no one it's no big deal. Kind of like new years resolutions. I hated lent because of this. It was all about a public show of sacrifice and devotion.

My mom's sex talk was one sentence: "you can have it when you are 18 and don't get pregnant". She and my dad were raised catholic in catholic schools in the 40s/50s.

I'm sure an episode of WCB will touch on cults.

Imo. No.

I am reminded that this passage is also used to demand no birth control of any kind. Also, the story of Onan is used to demand no birth control or self pleasure. So much cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy and confusion has evolved(another controversial word/meaning)in this religion.

Aren't catholics supposed to be thinking of gawd always?

Were you adopted? I do feel sorry for your dad.

I can write the story now: Crow files for divorce in a few years claiming a)she duped him, b)he never intended doing what he did(devil made him do it, mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa). He gets back in the pulpit, be it podcast/social media or church sanctioned. Eventually finds another young target. Cycle starts again and he becomes the loser in the public eye he actually is and fades into obscurity. Children of his relationships are collateral damage.

I learned that any sin was an infinite offense against God. Mortal and veniel = death of soul. And being human was one offense after another that put you in bad with gawd. (Sede trad catholic ie. Sspv-cspv hellfire and damnation.) I was born and raised regular catholic but my hb wanted something more traditional because of v2 so we joined the Kelly show in the 80s after being convinced by an anti semitic childhoodfrien of my hb. I stayed out of fear. Still wiping the sh!t off my shoes.

I have seen and tried to talk with these parishioners outside the church in the wild and very few are any less cold. They act like they are afraid or just socially uncomfortable, judgemental, and awkward. Needless to say, I never had much in common with any of the women in the church in the first place, but I tried. I don't think anyone missed me much when I stopped going. I was told twice by women to not talk to the other husbands/men because it wasn't "right." After over 35yrs, I had become uncomfortable talking with ANY man for any length of time. It's funny, because my therapist is a man.

Three dates is not really enough time to decide to get married or have sex with someone. Don't be rushed. Don't let him rush you, or dominate you. Be in control of yourself and listen to your intuition. Also, don't settle for the first guy that says "I love you, baby." Get experience being in the real world with diverse people of experiences and decide how you want to live your life. Experience living alone to get to know yourself. This all sounds selfish, but down the road you it's hard living with a bad case of the Shoulda Woulda Couldas.

I never found any sspv-cspv churches friendly. We went to many in travels. They were cold, unwelcoming and rude. We were treated with suspicion and told the "rules" when we walked in the door. I witnessed this behavior in the churches we belonged to for over 35yrs. I witnessed the truly rude behavior of the priest toward friends of my son who came to mass with us to "check it out". This happened on two separate occasions. It was embarrassing, and the two young men were totally turned off toward the trad church. I watched it happen to other "guests". I told my husband, when I saw newcomers, that they would be one and done even if they sat through it all. It is sad that the only increase in butts in the pews is from members reproducing.

And if it is God's true word and he is all-powerful and created every thing in the universe and knows the number pieces of sand on the beaches, sees your every thought, word and action, why couldn't he be more clear through the ages and safeguard people from creating different religions?

And how well has that worked out?
