I hope you all enjoy the thread.
I will be away.

reminder that catholics are responsible for the immigration act of 1965. Catholics literally destroyed this country, just so they could get a few more shitskin catholics into the country.

Grow up

Reminder that Catholicism and Monarchy are best friends.

>Catholics literally destroyed this country

Evangelical Christians are destroying the USA, Bubba...eternal kike lovers.

>Or, like literally 90% of Bible, Apocalypse can be readed in many ways.
Everything about early Christianity indicates they expected an imminent apocalypse. Jesus' words, Paul implies he'll still be alive when it happens in some of his letters.

> when the original generation of Christians were still alive (Mark 9:1, Mark 13:30).
>In 90 AD Nero was dead. So did almost all of orginal Christians.
Yes, that's my point. The Christian apocalyptic prophecies have failed.

>tfw I feel called to the diocesan priesthood, but my sister is a degenerate who doesn't take religion seriously, probably won't even provide grandchildren for my parents
>tfw I'm the "golden child" that makes my parents happy and I'm currently on track to becoming a doctor
>tfw I will never follow my true calling

>Around two years ago I took part in the Euacharist without being baptised. I had no idea that it was disallowed - it was my first church service and I just copied what everyone else was doing, although I really should've looked up Church etiquette beforehand. What's my potential fate and how can I be absolved? I'm not sure if it's a grave sin since that apparently requires "It must be committed with full knowledge (and awareness) of the sinful action and the gravity of the offense." But I still wish to repent.

>What's my potential fate and how can I be absolved?
Alright I see why you're asking all this now. Let me just clear things up a little by saying that like everybody on this earth you're subject to heaven, purgatory or hell. Let me make it clear now that you are not guaranteed to hell or purgatory or anything like that.

As for how you can be absolved you can be absolved through the Catholic Church. If you have been baptized since the incident that particular sin would have been cleared from you. As baptism cleans away all sin. But if you are not yet baptized that is what you should seek. Talk to a nearby Catholic Priest about joining the Catholic Church. He will talk to you about RCIA (Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults), it effectively is a course that teaches you about CHristianity/Catholicism and all the parts of why things are done and what we believe. You will then be baptized, and all your sins will be cleaned. And you will be confirmed and then be able to partake in the Eucharist/Communion.

>Grave Sin
It is not a grave/mortal sin in your situation. Due to not understanding. And the fact that you still wish to repent is good to hear.

Anything else I can help ya with?

I have a protestant friend that told me that a pope had a succubus help him become Pope.

So is that true? You guys have sexy succubus?

No, you don't understand. Apocalypse WAS WRITTEN in 90 AD. Thus your theory is false in the light of evidence.
Evidence on ANY of this claim, like from real thologian or historian.

>Yes there are accounts in the Old Testament but they were for good reason.
'For good reason' is your qualifier.

>Its a part of free will, He doesn't want people to go around torturing animals and people but it happens anyway. Its not a command from God to go and punish a Cat or a Dog.
But when God does command, it is with 'good reason'.

In the Quran, God commands us to punish in very specific circumstance. Is this not a 'good reason'?

Take your bullshit to where it belongs, retard.

Yes it is user. We shouldn't be interpreting signs from the cosmos.

Thats a tough situation mate. Keep praying determine really if you are called to the priesthood or to start a Catholic Family.

Remember that if you became a priest you still could potentially save your sister ?

>I'm an atheist with traditionalist values. Most of my friends are practicing Catholics, and I would not have it any other way, but it make me feel like a black sheep.
I sort of wish to become a Catholic, but I just can't force myself out from an atheist state of mind. It almost feels like purposely fooling myself somehow.
I'm feeling like I'm between a rock and a hard place, and it's pulling me apart.
Will try to form a proper answer to you shortly user if you came into this thread.

May regret asking this on Sup Forums but I can't think of anywhere else

I've been bouncing around in an interest in Catholicism for about a year now, enough that I've gotten my lapsed mother to start saying the rosary as well.

However, for a long time I was heavily involved in anime and vidya culture that crossed over into modern US "SJW" secular liberalism-the sort that said "religion is bad, sexuality and excess individualism is good." ( And yes, I am a girl) Despite parroting those lines from ages of 17-23, I still feel like I was duped-I never got any satisfaction or formed any valued relationships, or the few times I did I was dropped as soon as the self interested found they could do better.

Despite this, I still feel an ingrained sense of guilt from my liberal upbringing in regards to social politics such as gay rights, abortion, etc. I know God is bigger than politics, and that it's a petty reason, I still feel the guilt is holding me back from really discovering the faith. I've been let down by shallow and self interested parties, but I can't seem to fully let them go, and it has me torn. How do I overcome this?

Any books about women who left modern pop culture for the Church would also be greatly appreciated.

"Evangelical Christianity" has been entirely compromised by Jesuit infiltrators for the better part of 60 years.

The Ecumenical movement is entirely folding back most of the Protestant movements back into the Papal fold.

I've read a moderate amount of Exorcism words to know, that Dante's portrayal of Demons as Aussies to the power of six is right.
Succubus are:
>Not female, nor male. They are spirits so no ficky ficky.
>Make you have perverted dreams and act like total cumming addict

>what? random israel loving retards have far less of an impact compared to the MILLIONS of shitskin subhuman catholic spics that invaded this country.

Like I said in the last thread, i'm against the Mexican invasion of the USA, these people should follow the law or be punished like anyone else if they don't follow it. My point is, Evangelicals have way more power in the government than Catholics and are always voting the laws that favor Israel, free gibs, etc.

flubbed that last sentence but whatever

also, /pol is most assuredly a Pagan board, engaging in the chaos magic of Kek

>"Evangelical Christianity" has been entirely compromised by Jesuit infiltrators for the better part of 60 years.

Shitting on Jesuits, kike detected...

I won't put in the ones about abortion because the Dogma is a little wrong.

If y'all want the 10 episodes can be binged since the blu-ray is already out.

Watch all 10 and make a constructive argument.

I found it quite profound, with critiques of the Church however, alot of the thoughts on mysticism and the entire mystery of the Church I found wonderful.

One such was Voiello, an oxymoron within himself.

>Has a lavish home
>Doesn't live in it, but rather takes care of a disabled boy at night

Any thoughts?

well that sucks. I was hoping for some fun times.

Oh well I guess I have to do it the old fashioned way. Ruffies and alcohol...

Dorothy Day and Eve Tushnet come to mind.

Naw man.

Proto-Jesuits before their official establishment were literally Jewish Kabal espionage agents that infiltrated and took over the Catholic church. They're deep agents who speak in forked-tongued, out both sides of their mouths -- they're not against the eternal Kikes. They're literal Babylonian-tier Luciferian kikes themselves.

Everyone goes on about how sacrilegious it is to recieve communion without being catholic.
But I bet 99% of people who go up to communion are in a state of mortal sin or they feel apathetic toward the transubstantiation

I was raised Catholic, I want to remain Catholic but I am going Orthodoxy unstoppable

Try Easter Rite.

I really liked it and I felt that al though it proposed a lot of criticisms of the church in the end the message was decidedly pro catholic. It was really sad at the end when he was looking through the telescope and all the smiles on the peoples faces faded so quickly

Watching through HBO go so I've only seen the first two episodes. I like it so far. I like the idea of a hidden Pope.

If you have to (you don't) do escapism do something good and, I don't know, start to exercise your body or mind. Or get your ass to work. Or charity. Or whatever.

Should the jews and catholics make an alliance against protestants?

Will try respond to you in my next post user.

>I sort of wish to become a Catholic, but I just can't force myself out from an atheist state of mind. It almost feels like purposely fooling myself somehow.
>I'm feeling like I'm between a rock and a hard place, and it's pulling me apart.

Well user I have never been in that situation as even though I never knew Christ till last year. I have always had a part of me that believed in a God. So unfortunately I can not give you a particularly good answer on how you can come to start finding Christ.

Let me say the fact that you are here and torn about this all is a promising sign. In Christianity we believe that God through the Holy Spirit has a way of drawing people into finding him. This may be the start of him trying to bring you in.

I suppose the best thing that you can do in your situation is perhaps start by talking to a priest about the problems you're facing? How you want to find God but think you might be deluding yourself into doing it? He's probably had many people do this to him, heck a guy mentioned this last week. Another thing that I think may help you in coming to Christ is to examine things that you think are improbable about Christ and look for Catholic apologetics? For example say you can't believe Christ resurrected because its illogical. Look into why a bunch of 12 guys would go around the world spreading his gospel and death. Why they would leave their families, all their wealth, get tortured and die professing his name? Why would they do this if not for the living God? Look into problems you face from the atheist perspective and dispel them. I found that helped me when I first started. I phrased this badly but I hope this helps. And I'm happy to try help more. God bless ya, and I'll incldue you and the military protestant guy in my prayers.

as a christian, it is your duty to genoxide all hapas

Wow... the good ole merchants educated you well, Bubba... the Jesuits are literally the only reason we got some 'real' history today, they were the one in the Renaissance era traveling all over the world, keeping record of the culture, people's, etc.... without them we wouldn't know shit about anything before the 18th century.

a lot of strawmanning -- I don't necessarily hold or argue the points that are addressed in that article

>jews
Why don't you believe in christ the son of god?

Kill all hapas

Kill kill kill

>Should the jews and catholics make an alliance

Hon hon, good try Moshe...but no chance in hell...

Did you see my reply, user?

Kill hapas for the good

No

Kill hapas

>Loyola
>A basque nobleman
>Having anything to do with Kabbalah
This is level of retardation that I would expect from Black Hebrews. Have dignity.

Kill all the hapas

Okay goober, it's way more complex than that.

I'm out, I only have debates over voice chat or video because text is too cumbersome and slow.

Kill hapas

KILL ALL HAPA

You were here last week weren't you?

Kill the hapa

Protestants are your proxy Icek, they were since Luther removed seven books from OT. Your tricks don't work here.

Him seeing his parents... sad.

The criticisms are good too imo. The church has been too friendly and open removing all the mystique of the church. And the friendliness hasn't helped us as a church either such as with ISIS and them killing catholics and christians with no remorse.

And hapas must die

They are try hard wannabes like luther

Just ask luka the hapa

Why do HAPAS hate themselves so much? There's even a whole subreddit of insecure teenagers who hate their white fathers for marrying their Asian mothers.

>2 PETER
Explain? I don't see how it's relevant.

>No, you don't understand. Apocalypse WAS WRITTEN in 90 AD. Thus your theory is false in the light of evidence.

Estimates seem to vary

>Early Church tradition dates the book to end of the emperor Domitian (reigned AD 81–96), and most modern scholars agree, although the author may have written a first version under Vespasian (AD 69–79) and updated it under Domitian.[11] The beast with seven heads and the number 666 seem to allude directly to the emperor Nero (reigned AD 54-68), but this does not require that Revelation was written in the 60s, as there was a widespread belief in later decades that Nero would return.[12][8]

>In her volume in the original Anchor Bible, J. Massyngberde Ford argues that the core of Revelation, chapters 4-11, was written by John the Baptist and later surrounded with a Christian beginning and ending.[13] 70 AD is the likely date of writing according to Martha Himmelfarb in the recently published Blackwell series

Binge it haha... All the episodes are out on blu ray (i'm rewatching it again too on HBO)

IKR

And it isn't just the WMAF ones

The AMWF ones do it too

keep posting those honeys.

What is the difference between Catholicism today vs let's say 500-1000 years ago?

Also, did Catholicism start before Greek Orthodoxy?

What is the difference between Catholics and Protestants and Non-denominationals?

Why do christians even use the OT? You guys are cucks

>(((Martha Himmelfarb)))

...

I suppose the first thing I want to point out is that like you said God is bigger than politics. Keep focusing on trying to find Him and increase your faith with Him, build a relationship with Him. Thats more important to worry about then politics and the sort.

Easier said than done I know. I'll try to help with the other bits now. But I feel to get down to it I'll need to hear more about your opinions on gay rights, abortion etc. I feel that a good discussion on these topics might help you feel less guilty about them. One of the important things to remember about these sensitive subjects is that we do not hate gays, we do not want them to be unhappy, and we don't want to take rights away from women, or have no heart for the poor woman who was raped and impregnated. This is far from the truth and we hold these beliefs for important reasons, and want the best for the people affected by them.

Bit long winded here and haven't really touched on much yet. But I'd like to hear more about the guilt and what not first before trying to talk more about it.

tl;dr - overcoming these social politics issues can probably be done by listening/reading apologetics on the issues. Here out our side. Counter propaganda so to say?

Also out of curiosity, if you believe all those social politics. Why are you on Sup Forums? We're a bunch of shitlords.

Why are hapas so retarded?

We have to kill them all in god's name

I'm kinda in the same boat. Except I was born atheist, raised atheist, and frankly educated by mostly atheists.

I love the Catholic churches, the music, and the rigid sense of ethics that religion imposed. All my Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh friends were more serious, studious and... Relatable than a lot of mt degenerate atheist friends. Even when I went full degenerate I was unhappy. I'm in a traditional, monogamous relationship with my fiancee now and am much happier.

I'm also wondering... Has anyone else come to the church after being a complete heathen? I read the Bible, once. But I'm not even baptized. I don't even know if I can believe in God. I came close with meditation, once. But that was a long time ago as I was shedding my coke habit.

Can anyone help me?

death to hapas

DEUS VULT

Kill one thousand hapas

Eastern Catholicism is the answer. They're very similar to the Orthodox in terms of traditions, but they retain Catholic dogmas.

>But I'm not even baptized.

Ontario detected...

So what's the point to remain Catholic while I attend an Easter Rite Church?
I mean, Easter Rite is not only the Mass, is also the theology: no division in venial/mortal sin, the fasting, different confession perspective...

No. Killing hapas is the answer

Maybe just kill Hapa fernando

Does this trigger you?

thanks!

Eastern Catholic churches are similar to Eastern Orthodoxy, but they remain in line with Rome.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Catholic_Churches

Yes. Because their children will be ugly like the both of them. And end up as disgusting retard Hapa

Which church kill the most hapa

No denying it. It wasn't even my parents - my grandparents are the ones who stopped going.

I literally have one religious relative and she's a Lutheran like 80% of my hometown. The other 19% was Catholic and 1% shitskin religions.

Thanks for answering my question.

I want all christians to purge hapa

>Explain? I don't see how it's relevant.
Peter is addressing your objections about parousia.
>Estimates seem to vary
According to what you post no one thinks that it was written in times of Nero. My point stands.

You will never live in a small traditional town in Québec where everyone know and love each other...no drugs, no drunks, no niggers, no bullshit...poor little James Wong.

Because you must kill hapa

>But when God does command, it is with 'good reason'.
>In the Quran, God commands us to punish in very specific circumstance. Is this not a 'good reason'?
Yes it is for a good reason when he does. As for the latter part of your comment. Thats why we can't get along as Muslims and Catholics. We believe in our loving God that wants to save all of His sons and daughters. Whereas you believe in the Quran that tells you that its God's will that some guy goes forth and kills fifty homo's in a nightclub. If God truly wanted them to be punished would he not just send down a firestorm on the club? Well the thing is God is ever loving and doesn't want them to die not knowing him. He would rather they live out their lives with the chance through their free will they will turn from their homosexual acts and love Him and serve Him on their own accord.

>What is the difference between Catholicism today vs let's say 500-1000 years ago?
I suppose the main difference is that in the last 50-60 years there was a new implementation of mass. Which allows it to be taken out in any language rather than Latin and reduces a bunch of the other traditional mass prayers and practices. (Not advocating for it, but thats the main difference)

>Also, did Catholicism start before Greek Orthodoxy?
Catholics will say they came first. Greeks will say they came first. As Catholics we believe that greek orthodox broke off from the main branch of the faith in the great schism.
(if greek orthodox is a lot different to eastern orthodox that is my bad. hurried reply atm)

>What is the difference between Catholics and Protestants and Non-denominationals?
Heres a quick link that summarizes most of the differences if I remember correctly. Will happily answer follow up questions, but theres a lot of differences.

stop posting ugly ayy lmaos

No time to stick around today. I just want to tell you all that you guys are awesome people and you'll live great lives with the help of God. May He bless you all!

God:Hapa is a mistake

Will God kill Hapa?

Only if we take Jerusalem.

That happens when all Hapa is kill

user I'm going to refer to you to another post that seems similar to the situation you have. Another atheist, traditionalist, likes the Church. Has a bit of interest in it.

But you may have an even better chance like another user I talked to similar to you two weeks ago. See advice in my previous post, but when talking to the Priest bring up how you came close through meditation? Talk about that event etc.

If the post isn't helpful I'll try make a more personal response.

>I'm an atheist with traditionalist values. Most of my friends are practicing Catholics, and I would not have it any other way, but it make me feel like a black sheep.
>I sort of wish to become a Catholic, but I just can't force myself out from an atheist state of mind. It almost feels like purposely fooling myself somehow.

God bless you Portugal user. Have a lovely day. Thanks for dropping in!

I don't care about whiteness, but I do care about beauty and she's ugly

Oooh she's French. Explains why the eyes are too far apart.

>you believe in the Quran that tells you that its God's will that some guy goes forth and kills fifty homo's in a nightclub.
My friend, this is not what follows. If I was like you I could easily cherry-pick and conflate a transgressor with your belief. The Quran does not justify this unless you are dishonest.

>Well the thing is God is ever loving and doesn't want them to die not knowing him.
If God is only the God of love, then why does suffering exist?

It must be that God is also just, and that suffering exists for a greater justice that is beyond our understanding.

Can you deny this?

>but I do care about beauty and she's ugly
