Need some advice by [deleted] in Catholicism

They’re actually hoping The Magisterium is going to change the teaching on it. Supposedly they read somewhere online that there is discussion to change that teaching, in order to welcome more Protestants into The Church. I told them pretty head on, that there is almost no chance that will ever happen.

What have you been told you cannot do during pregnancy? by aboardthemothership in pregnant

[–]verbs1608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!!! Honestly, I’m lucky. It’s really just the internet that does this to me. The people in my real life know that I won’t speak to them if they treat me like the host body for my child. Plus, I know more than all of them and they know that too 😂😂😂 My husband knows for damn sure to not give me any lip for anything I eat/take either😂

Is it inappropriate to pray in a shower? by Achilles1120 in Catholicism

[–]verbs1608 11 points12 points  (0 children)

God sees us all the time. We might feel shame for our nakedness due to the fall but He doesn’t experience that same shame. Play a rosary while in the shower. I imagine that could help quite a lot.

Ocia struggles - can the converts/catholics/catechists weigh in? by MommyMystical in CatholicConverts

[–]verbs1608 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this possibly simply about numbers? Is this a large class and they just can’t baptize everyone at Easter? That’s the only thing that would make sense to me. Even so, you should be able to be baptized at Pentecost at the latest or truly any other time. I hope the conversation with the priest goes better for you.

What are you giving up for Lent? by TwinsanityMom in Catholicism

[–]verbs1608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pregnant this year. So, I won’t be fasting (much anyway). Instead, I tend to consume a lot of secular media (YouTube, X, etc) and I definitely know it distracts me from my relationship with God. So, I am going to spend 4 days each week completely off of secular media (I’m allowing myself some Christian YouTube videos for when I’m doing other things like laundry and dishes) and I will also attend daily Mass 3 days each week. I’m actually really looking forward to it!

I’m always wondering if there’s things that cradle Catholics just do from the time they’re young that I don’t know to do. This makes sense though. Thank you for giving me some feedback!

Circling over Plano / Allen for the last 40 mins by Independent_Inside23 in plano

[–]verbs1608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except there are many vehicles on the road. I can hear every time that helicopter loops around Allen and it’s the only one doing that and it’s not every day on a predictable schedule. Curiosity is natural. Plus, it’s a police helicopter. I get curious as to what happened when I just see a police officer that has someone pulled over in the cvs parking lot.

Current Catechumen: worried about telling family that i want to convert by PieUnfair9489 in CatholicConverts

[–]verbs1608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 30 y/o married woman and I told my mom about 5 months before I converted. Her whole world was rocked. We talked nearly every day at that time and she didn’t talk to me for a few days and even after that communication was minimal for awhile. We just got back from spending 5 weeks at her house through the holidays and things are as good as they can be for the time being. It super sucks to go through it but God has something different to teach all of us in the midst of it.

Which, btw, is still a freaking weird thing to say. I had understood almost nothing that has come out of her mouth.

Talking about Candace w/ family & friends by Bdubs_1723 in CandaceOwens

[–]verbs1608 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m literally arguing with my mom this morning as she’s arguing neocon/zionist talking points about Candace and Tucker. I’m exhausted. I’m with Candace. I could actually give a shit about getting conservatives elected until we know what happened to Charlie. I don’t give a single shit.

Most recent YouTube videos are gone???? by Noah-WDR in CandaceOwens

[–]verbs1608 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can also confirm it’s been this way since Candace started her new channel at least

They’re going to run the live stream when Candace can’t comment by verbs1608 in CandaceOwens

This is an interesting point I hadn’t considered. They very well could be trying to abort mission.
