I know it’s Monday, and the homily was yesterday, but I feel bad for forgetting Brother Lawrence and The Practice of the Presence of God.

JcDent posted:The last mass I listened on the internet radio had a nice choir, which was nice. The local church (a thoroughly meh modernist piece which my gf described as "a warehouse with an altar in it") choir sounds like half of them members are there for their own funeral and with the internet radio going to a different church every time it's very much a crap shoot on the quality of homily and the singing that you'll get. But the more you know God, the more you want to ask others who they think God is.

Epicurius posted:About, I don't know, 15 years ago? Even earlier? Somebody, i think an actual Lutheran pastor, wrote a text adventure where you played a Lutheran pastor. You got to do things like try to figure out a hospital's corridors so you could visit a sick parishoner, pick up your wife's dry cleaning, chair a meeting of the parish council, review fliers the youth group made to promote their event, try to find some candles you could swear were in the storage room, write your sermon, lose the game because you decided instead of writing the sermon you'd play just one game of Tetris. this sounds amazing. do you remember the name or where you came across it?

It's called Pastoral Pitfalls, and you can actually play it here: https://archive.org/details/agt_pp20 You can also find it in the Interactive Fiction Archives, but it's like 20 years old, so you'd have to run an emulator to get it to run.

Please pray for me, I am starting a prayer "retreat" that'll last a little over a month. I have been in a really bad place: missing way too many Masses and pretending it's OK because of my anxiety, not praying, and my swings and sleep issues (which no one can even figure out even after having them for literally 20 years and doing 3 extensive sleep studies) are just hard to deal with. I am blessed that I was given a good foundation in ministry, therapy, and personality that I haven't been too much of an emotional burden to my friends and family, and I don't make it a habit of lashing out at people. (Lutha Mahtin, I did lash out at you and I deeply regret it and am very sorry.) Anyway, if you could offer up some prayers for Thirteen Orphans I would really appreciate it.

I dont reply to every prayer post but I do pray for every one if them, yours included. Please pray that God will give me strength to endure. On top of my own health problems my wife is hospitalized with a blood clot in her lung. Being a solo parent while sick is no fun.

I hope you have a lovely retreat, the kind that doesn't end even after it ends. Here's a joke that's been posted before, but still makes me smile: quote:Two nuns were driving down a country road when a vampire blocked their path. The driver said, "Quick, Sister! Show him your cross!" Please do likewise, but with the badness that has been in your way, and with perhaps more or less color.

HEY GUNS posted:once again 17th century = best century Incidentally, here's an article about 12 Catholic women who converted to Orthodoxy being re-baptised by a Church of Cyprus bishop with a bishop from the Jerusalem Patriarchate present. http://basilica.ro/douasprezece-filipineze-s-au-convertit-la-ortodoxie-in-cipru/ It's in Romanian (can't find anything about it in English, understandably, and I don't speak Greek) so here's a google translate link: https://translate.google.by/transla...t-text=&act=url \/\/\/ Ha-ha, I'm stupid.

what is the word for those kinds of people a lot of people on the internet use "traditionalist" for those types, but that's incorrect since they're presumably not anti-vatican ii. i use "campus ministry types" but even that seems a bit off. what do you call someone who is scared to come into contact with someone who might, gasp, have a different opinion than them about the church?

i genuinely think if there was a council that said "abortion is okay and gay marriage is fine" these people would 100% flip, their only ideology is "the church says it's true and it's true because the church said it" which is... sad these people have no ideology, they just parrot blind faith for the sake of it, and is that really BELIEVING in something?

HEY GUNS posted:in which a redditor is terrified his inlaws might be normal I wish I had his problems, wow. Senju Kannon posted:i genuinely think if there was a council that said "abortion is okay and gay marriage is fine" these people would 100% flip, their only ideology is "the church says it's true and it's true because the church said it" which is... sad Well, I would imagine they believe in Christ, and that the Church is his mystical body, and the Pope is his vicar, etc., etc., which is the core of their ideology, and flipping is a crucial part of it as a result. And it's good for everyone, too. American Catholics until very recently were pretty pro-capital punishment, even though European Catholics with the same Catechism for a long time before the change were anti-death penalty. I haven't heard about any mass conversions or parishes leaving for SSPX in America, so I can only conclude that's how the majority of people are re flipping. It might take some time for them to actualise what millions of Catholics outside of America believed for decades, but them's the brakes, as they say.

I only read /r/openchristian which occasionally attracts various types of strange posts. The ones I really don't get are the people that show up convinced they're evil and cannot change. They always seem really calm and resigned about it and then they disappear after making a few posts.

I was fairly active on christian subreddits for a couple years around 5 years ago, but I can't stand what they've become. I'm pretty liberal in my theology, but had amazing discussions with very knowledgeable folks from every religious background there. There were priests, m.divs of numerous denominations, hardcore atheists, whoever. But now previously civil arguments devolve into pretty name calling. Anything touching politics is overrun with absolute shitposts. I don't see regular posters who know what they're talking about, or care to do anything more than past their opinion and leave. I guess when r/atheism was a main sub, and it was assumed reddit was majority atheists, the few christians stuck together. Now the site is casting a wider net, and it's constantly overrun, and driven out what made me enjoy it.

HEY GUNS posted:in which a redditor is terrified his inlaws might be normal lol he is very concerned about his family members not being 100% strictly pro-life and anti-LGBT rights and some of them voted for pro-choice politicians and then, quote:Also not to mention there is a sister who supports Bernie ( but to her credit is more pro life in terms of actions, having personally convinced friends not to abort or contracept or stay chaste to marriage. I can’t say I’ve done much for the pro life cause). She's done more for the pro-life cause than me, but she supports Bernie. Seems like that poster is far more concerned about everyone in his family loudly proclaiming their pro-lifeness and only voting for pro-life politicians than actually taking any actions to advocate for his beliefs. "I'm worried I married into a family that doesn't virtue signal enough."

Spiritual counsel is one of religion's first and foremost functions, and being simply told what to do is often easier than the alternative. https://vtt.tumblr.com/tumblr_paxwk7agv71w5pr9j.mp4
