President Trump has a new nickname for Democrats — and it doesn't sound like he's going to stop using it anytime soon.
"I look forward to the day when I don't call them Dumocrats anymore..."
Are the psalm prayers going away? I think they are?
I've only met a handful of religious who used them within the context of communal liturgy. Not sure what their origin is either. hmm
My wife's heart has been shattered since the amniocentesis results (which are definitive btw), yet it has only gotten worse.
These last couple weeks have been the hardest of her life...it's times like these where you want to be able to depend on your family for love and support.
This video is from the evening after the procedure.
My parents drop off an extremely thoughtful gift basket and show unconditional love and support...meanwhile, her family has been nowhere to be found. Some even going as far as joining in on the bandwagon hate PUBLICLY, kicking her while she's down at her lowest point.
She has received text messages from her family accusing me of abuse and that I'm brainwashing her...issuing ultimatums that she needs to LEAVE ME IMMEDIATELY. Audacious shit that will have your head-spinning because of the delusion and lack of consideration.
Downright disgusting gossip and shit-talking amongst important people in her life as if she's not even blood. No backbone, just cowardice as they accuse me of making the decision and controlling/manipulating her over all the years of being together.
We've put up with a lot of shit, but when it's your own family exercising their bitterness and turning their backs when it matters the most, it really reveals everything about their character.
Hell, I've even seen the worst of "friends" publicly joining in on the crusade despite full-well knowing that behind closed doors, they would've made the same decision.
I don't relish in sharing these things because it only furthers a divide, but when you're MIA, complicit and offensive during the hardest times of our life then you will never deserve to be there when it's good.
My wife is the sweetest and strongest woman I know, the last thing she deserves is to be treated this way.
My heart goes out to all of the women who have had to keep their abortions private for fear of judgment from friends/family, it's the last thing you should be dealing with when you're already confronting the hardest/worst of times.
This is the sad reality. It's why I will continue to speak out. It's why sharing is better than hiding. The truth may be hard, but at least you're living freely. Do NOT ever let the opinions of others define your life or else you will be living a life that's not YOURS. ❤️
3. A life is an objective good, a birth of which is not “forced” on a woman once she decides she does not want the child. She has a moral obligation, a DUTY, to carry the baby to term because it is a human life.
4. People are not to be seen as a burden, rather to be cared for.
The moral reasoning abilities of the general population are stunningly horrible.
1. Deliberately ending the life of a person is different than the person dying of natural causes.
2. One is not morally obligated to employ extraordinary measures to delay the death of a person.
Fr makes a great point. My pastor warns many young lay men in our parish against reading St Alphonsus without speaking with him before and afterwards. I know people who have gone down a rabbit hole of scruples due to unsupervised reading of his works.
St. Alphonsus observes that only those who are in immediate preparation for administering the Sacrament of Penance are to occupy themselves with the casuistry of matters concerning the 6th Commandment. Discussing such things in Social media constitutes a sin against holy modesty
@pluant There’s a reason for the common joke among priests: “what’s the difference between a liturgist and a terrorist? You can negotiate with terrorists.”
Immensely bad taste and low class.
A perfect distraction for this abomination of an administration that sold out our entire country and future.
…and I’m a lifelong Republican and 3 time Trump voter.
Are people actually asking Paul VI for intercession? I’ve never met one person that has a devotion to him in any way. If the person does exist I’m sure they’ll respond.
It’s obvious what they’ll do. They’ll get rid of these groups. They’d rather burn the whole thing to the ground rather than admit they’re wrong or let trad communities flourish.
Interesting to see what will happen to these groups that keep ordaining white elephant priests who refuse to say the normal Mass as the regular clergy retire & die off. Are they going to have four priests per mission whereas normie Catholic community down the street struggles?
Sometimes it’s actually the priest who likes to talk a lot. I’ve been in and out in less than two minutes and I’ve been in for 10-15 minutes. But I never change what I do, it depends on how much he talks.
i got to confession LATE and one person alone took 10 minutes, and we only had one priest hearing confession instead of two like usual. he literally had to delay the rest of the confession until after daily mass. the confession is not the place for lengthy spiritual direction. be considerate of others.
Fr. Pius Parsch celebrating Mass in 1922 in a 'popular' style of Mass approved by bishops and spread through Germany/Austria. Whatever the defects, the style became quite popular.
Newman's 'Callista' gives a similar picture of what early Roman liturgy was thought to be like.
@___mithrandir_ wtf i don’t want to go to fucking heaven with nazis and pedos lmao have fun in your genocide afterlife club. the fact you can forgive fucking nazis tells me all about your morality lmao
