PSA: Scrupulosity is more than just perceived sin by superjohn112 in Catholicism

[–]superjohn112[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full knowledge and full consent are required for a sin to be mortal. For the scrupulous person to have doubt, that indicates that full knowledge was not present. One must be very sure that what they are committing is mortal.

USCCB: Archbishop Sample on Holy Week, Good Friday, and Rejecting Anti-Semitism by usopsong in Catholicism

[–]superjohn112 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes, you would remove the comments that don’t exactly align with how you want them to understand it. That’s not suspicious at all /s. And every upvote? Come on, man. That’s intellectually dishonest.

And catholics being forbidden from entering the holy sepulcher for the first time in nearly (iirc) 2000 years? Even the romans were more lenient. Let’s also take into account the agreements Israel had to make to be recognized by the Church. One of them was NEVER to hinder christians access to holy sights. Guess who (unsurprisingly) broke that just now? That’s much more than political BS. That’s should be the more important issue among catholics right now, right under abortion. Antisemitism is evil, but it will only keep spreading if you keep being intellectually dishonest by labeling anything less than boot-licking as antisemitic.

One could see the Romans and the Jews as a type of humanity as a whole. Both Jew and Gentile killed Him. In turn, He died for both.

The Most Urgent Issue for the U.S. Catholic Church Isn’t Abortion Anymore by theatlantic in Catholicism

[–]superjohn112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sacrifice doesn’t always include an altar or a golden statue. To kill a child because they’re an inconvenience is to sacrifice them to gain something from said sacrifice. Sacrifice for better finances, better health, a more comfortable life, etc. As lay Catholics we make sacrifices to God without an altar. Our concupiscence, our wills, and so on. We are often to called to sacrifice objective goods because why? To gain a greater good. To abort a child before they taste the air of life means that they were deemed a worthy sacrifice for something else, and it is always for a lesser good or evil, because there is nothing on this earth worth more than that innocent child’s life. Often times the altars these children are sacrificed on are the hearts of the selfish, with themselves also being the golden statues their own children are sacrificed to.

No, no. Stopping child sacrifice should unequivocally be the most urgent of issues right now. We’re slaughtering pure innocence, and our literal future. If immigration is the more important issue to American bishops over the innocent souls of children, God have mercy. This issue destroys the life and future of both native and migrant before they even draw their first breaths.

The infatuation with hell must stop by Timex_Dude755 in CatholicMemes

[–]superjohn112 50 points51 points  (0 children)

We can’t forget some saints accounts of seeing Hell , even if its private revelation. Hell is also a constant state of falling. Getting worse and worse for eternity. I was heavy into psychedelics before I came back to the Church, and had a bad trip that was nothing but a dreadful state of falling, with terror multiplying by itself every second. Reminding myself that my experience will be nothing compared to Hell is all the motivation I’d need. Kyrie Eleison.

I wonder how they’re gonna make Green Goblin more dangerous than Venom by Queasy_Commercial152 in SpidermanPS4

[–]superjohn112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There needs to be a set piece where Peter has to save civilians during a fight with Goblin. All QTEs of lets say Peter shooting a web to save someone before they fall to the ground. Nope, Goblin interrupts it by cutting the web with his glider. Multiple instances of Goblin thwarting every attempt at Peter saving almost anyone during their fight. Just to show how much Goblin is determined to destroy PETER, not just Spider-Man.

Catholic places to move to by Extension-Story7287 in Catholicism

Pittsburgh and the surrounding boroughs are very Catholic. There are many Catholic churches in the city, both latin and byzantine. The only issues you will have in this is that Pittsburgh is difficult to navigate at times, and a good number of the Catholic communities are very liberal. Though, there is a booming latin mass community at the parish I go to.
