HAIL MARY "We don't worship Mary the mother of Christ Jesus they say, she's not our idol they say, yet they elevate her, pray to her, believe in her more and follow the traditions of man, dogmas not biblical. No we don't worship Mary, no, as they say Hail Mary, the very act of hailing Mary and not realizing they've already given themselves over to doctrines of demons."

pouring one out for my protestant homies who have to endure church shopping. that shit sounds exhausting bro.
#this is not sarcastic like seriously that requires perseverance#i mean catholics do occasionally ''shop around'' different parishes around them bc they can vary in liturgical style/quality#but (a) its kinda frowned upon and (b) we at least know the theology+doctrine+core liturgy is gonna be consistent#can't imagine having to play russian roulette and attend churches at random hoping they'll align with your beliefs

I'm arguing with some catholic girl on tiktok (yes i know, first mistake) and she just told me that "going to church on sundays" is literally in the 10 commandments. Baffled actually.
#own post#catholicism#my credentials are life long trauma from catholic school and basic reading comprehension so don't try to tell me that moses and his crew ha#a) churches and b) sundays as their holy/'important to religious activities' day#she also claimed that the thing about not being supposed to take the eucharist when not “”pure enough“” (approximately paraphrasing) is#about going to church on sundays#when i have it on good authority (my catholic grandma) that it's about having gone to confession semi recently#like i feel this person is just obsessed with going to church on sundays#but girly this isn't the medieval times anymore the official doctrine is that being a good person is more important to getting into heaven#than Churchill attendance#obviously church attendance helps but they won't kick you out for being holier than jesus and never going#essentially#she's like really nice and all but she is factually wrong

— And do you or do you not have difficulty remembering such simple instructions? — Only during thunderstorms, sir.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) / DARK SHADOWS (1966)
#don't mind me just absolutely insane about the possibility (probability!) that vicki saw tsom the year before coming to collinwood.#the boom mic in the stairs shot is always cracking me up.#finally me and you and you and me just us and your friend steve (the boom mic operator)#➤ roger collins & victoria winters. ┊ pain sometimes precedes pleasure,miss winters.#gifs.#➤ edits & art. ┊ the evans cottage art gallery.#➤ roger collins. ┊ I and my ghosts want a drink.#➤ victoria winters. ┊ because she’s lost and lonely. because she looks in shadows.#there's obviously far; far less of a christian overtone in ds — but i wonder if you couldn't make the argument that it isn't also#on some level about belief?#belief; namely; in the ghosts that roger resists and vicki with both arms embraces;#faith in the not-so-minor deity liz stoddard; choosing to follow her doctrine even in the face of conflicting truth.#one might consider collinsport a faithful congregation taking sermons from the mount — from the mouth of the reclusive ascetic;#conveyed by loyal (devastatingly; sacrificially loyal) disciples.#and vicki; searching for belonging; for a home; for a family; falls very lamb-like into the flock.#all old gods of course demand their sacrifices in blood: burke; namely; but also matthew; bill; roger (so-attempted)#if i were pushing it (which I always am) you could go so far as to say collinwood's son rises from the tomb.#''but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night'' etc etc. demanding; first; sacrificial livestock; then virgin blood.#anyway! I digress.#''they say confession is good for the soul. well; my soul needs purifying.''#vicki as the prototypical virgin — the clean slate without history; clear water with neither dirt nor blood —#in which roger cleanses himself (somewhat forcefully!); to wash away guilt and suspicion;#the force of virtue that prevents the intrusion of sin; either through the wood of the confessional or very literally at her bedroom door.#''an innate sense of goodness'' etc; besides being something of a conduit between this world and the next:#re. the seances; the appearances of josette and bill; the various and varied encounters with supernatural; the time travel;#as one might expect of an angel ... or a saint. and one could argue that she goes on to restore roger's faith —#if not in the goodness of the world at large; then the existence of goodness; or in the worth of belief itself.#anyway. long way of saying i love man x his governess whether it's catholic or satanic. sign me up.

Okay that's good to know that you do serve God, but who is God to you? Okay so you quoted Ephesians 6, which is where I got that bit about the Word of God being the Sword of the spirit. I do not see in that very scripture, the rosary being mentioned as part of said armor of God. Where does the rosary's power come from? God didn't talk about a rosary as a weapon of His and I say His, because in the post of yours, it's mentioned the "rosary is like a great sword that Mary puts into the hands of her children to defend themselves against the evil one". How can there be two swords in God's armor? God was very clear about what's considered His Sword and who is Mary to give another sword? Her children? No, if you and the rest of the Catholics believe in God as you've said, then you and all of us whom believe in Christ Jesus are children of God, we're HIS children. This is fallacy of Scripture and possibly twisting of it. Yes I'm aware not everything will be in the Bible, but knowledge of everything belongs to God and He reveals the truth of what He wants us to know, about what He wants us to know, if He wants us to know but please don't use Scripture to justify how it's in the Bible when it clear is not & no, there's no metaphor in that chapter of Ephesians for the rosary being the Sword of the Spirit. Yes that saint might of said it's "like a sword" but you quoting that part of Scripture to back up the rosary, is appalling amongst other things.
Saint Padre Pio said that “the Rosary is like a great sword that Mary puts into the hands of her children to defend themselves against the evil one.”

Nico giving a "what are you, Catholic?" response to something and the other person is just "Nico, you're Catholic" and he's just "yeah, but not a good one"
#happy talks pjo#nico di angelo#fun fact: i spent over an hour trying to research what catholic ideologies and core beliefs were to see if this joke made sense#and i came out of it not understanding anything about any christianity doctrine so lol#look he's a good kind person which i feel like is the important part of jesus but sometimes he forgets to go to church#and also he's the bastard son of a pagan god so the joke works out and i am moving on - i refuse to keep stressing abt it

americans learn what the middle ages are challenge
#15th century? that's the very very tail end (depending on what landmark you chose for an end)#16th century? ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT#and also the witch hunts weren't really a medieval thing they mostly took place in the early modern era#and largely weren't perpetuated by 'the church'#and the inquisition spanish or otherwise had nothing to do with them#because church doctrine actually was that belief in witchcraft is superstition; only god is all-powerful#yes heinrich kramer called himself institoris. that doesnt mean anything it's just a fancy title he gave himself.#and hey guess what! protestant regions were way worse about killing witches than catholic ones. 'the church'? that's catholicism babe#do you see the flaw in your argument#anyway of course theres not an exact endpoint to the middle ages however#it's a period of a relatively stable socioeconomic system that collapses for various reasons#& things like the witch panic are a symptom of that collapse#so to talk about that in the same breath as *actual* medieval folklore & blame them on 'the church'#(when the catholic church losing power and influence was ALSO part of that collapse!)#is careless and silly#esp when you call yourself a historian#rant over

I would like to request prayers for my mother; she is struggling with self-forgiveness. A decent summary of the conversation earlier would be "I have done bad things and I think that means I'm no longer saved"
"No. No it doesn't"
#In other news I would like to PERSONALLY throttle the Baptist and Methodist churches#“Oooooohhhhh the Catholics don't actually read the Bible-” OKAY BUT HAVE YOU#BECAUSE THIS DOCTRINE RIGHT HERE IS VERY MUCH NOT BIBLICAL#“Ooooohhhh the Mormons have added onto the Bible-” Buddy I have some REALLY BAD NEWS about like HALF of what you believe#“Ooooooohhhh but-” SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP READ YOUR BIBLES AND SHUT. UP.#“*insert blazing heresy here*” Can you. Can you point me to where IN THE BIBLE it says that?!#“Oh but the church I grew up in-” Yeah I bet. Point to it *in the Bible please*#Today on “Bri has beef with literally every denomination but especially the ones from her childhood”

It's amusing to me how some Catholics seem to have some sort of superiority complex over non Catholics, all because they've got the Apocrypha in their Bible canon. Hm, okay? Weird flex. It might be an enlightening read but it's called the Apocrypha for a reason lol.

me reading or watching anything Catholic: but why would they say that? I would never have said that. I would never have thought about it that way. why is that the way they’re thinking about it?
the lightbulb going off hours later: ohhh it’s a nature and grace thing isn’t it. it’s absolutely an underlying nature and grace thing. they said that because they are wrong about nature and grace.
#repeating to myself: it's a universal church there's room for all of us#it's a universal church it's good to have freedom for theology#it's a universal church there are many ways to be Catholic#it's a universal church we're all playing in the sandbox#it's a universal church it's okay if I wouldn't want to build my sandcastle the way all my neighbors are building theirs#it's a universal church we agree on matters of doctrine and that's what counts#it's a universal church there are gonna be some assholes in it

@ Christians out there... could you please tell me what you feel you gain by reading the Bible. it's a genuine question and i'm really not trying to be rude or anything :(
i want to read it in the hope of this helping me be "saved" but other than being very depressed/ having ocd/ having no energy/concentration/ being much closer to atheism than theism - i think reading the Bible makes me hate myself??
i understand the idea that Jesus died for our sins on the cross and that being a huge act of love, but i don't really see sufficient evidence that this actually happened, and i just don't think it makes sense that God gave us free will and allowed us to be sinful so such a sacrifice was necessary in the first place? i understand the argument that "without free will we are robots who can't love freely" but i genuinely would rather be a happy robot than a suffering, sinful person with free will
aside from the Resurrection - i just can't see anything that would suggest God loves us?? like i know there are good things in the world but i find it hard to be grateful for them when there is so much suffering.
the God in the Bible reminds me of an abuser in a relationship - you MUST love me or you'll be punished - but i find it hard to see what there is to love?? God always seems so angry and surely if someone loves you - they want you to be happy? but God seems to have no interest in helping me in any way, or letting me be happy. the Bible says God loves you a lot but it feels like empty words - the way an abuser tells you they love you and does nothing to show it - or they give you some happiness but this is so heavily outweighed by suffering.
and i never asked to be here. never asked to have this life without my consent
and the Bible is always emphasising how awful and sinful you are and it's like don't i already hate myself enough?? apparently not?? i'm already absolutely filled with shame and guilt and idk it just makes me hate myself so much
how does anyone read the Bible and feel loved? i really don't know what i'm missing
i like some of the messages Jesus teaches but i don't find the Bible comforting at all...it's just so many threats and the threats don't make me believe in or love God any more. it just scares me

young devout Catholics: A lot of laity don't really seem to know or understand a lot of core Church teachings, so it's important that we clearly teach and live it :) boomer hippie Catholics: Wow, so arrogant and unkind. Extremist millennials like you will be the death of the Church. young devout Catholics: ??????????
#no joke i see this a LOT#i Don't Get It^tm#i mean i do but....huh??#older priests/laity will make comments about how young conservative Catholics are “misguided” and “lack compassion for others”#and if you ask them its because we *checks notes*#want better doctrinal education in homilies and for clergy to be uncompromising/unambiguous in matters of grave morality#like fuck wow okay sorry i didnt realize asking Catholics to um *checks notes again* know and uphold their faith was so radical???#mea#like they'll see a young priest gently but unwaveringly tell his parish that you're not suppose to receive the Eucharist in a state of sin#and theyre like “wow SO unkind of him we're finding a different parish”#if you dont like having a morally consistent theology that might sometimes be a lil uncomfortable then honey you shouldnt be Catholic
