is that directed to anybody who looks like pic related being associated with whats been going on?

i probably drink too much

>>694082

I'm feeling far too depressed at the moment and have been stupidly lashing out at other people and victimising myself

>>694089

Join an AA club, and seek help from others who are going through the same. God will guide you back to the light.

>>694199

No sin is too great for the Lord to forgive. Study his Word and learn from His ways, and seek forgiveness from those you have wronged.

note: you have to go to a real priest in a real confession for a real absolution

just spent over 200 quid on a cam girl tonight smh, don't even know if i believe lord help me

>>694206

God allows all His children to come to Him directly in times of need. All prayers will be answered if He finds them to be just.

>>694210

Man returns to sin as a dog returns to its' own vomit. Take whatever steps necessary to distance yourself from all evil.

>>694216

so are you praying, or confessing sins? there is a distinction.

>>694082

Why is the father wojak fat?

>>694223

he's big boned

>>694210

Bruh…..

have some respect for yourself

>>694082

I'm homosexual but I can't bring myself to break up with my boyfriend, because we really love each other.

>>694086

its a meme

>>694428

oh really haha?

okay here's a meme

>I'm sorry for deflecting the significance of sexual abuse allegations to alternative politically marxist topics such as the environment and protecting migrants being more important in order to implicitly defend a fundamentally roman institution started in a culture known for rampant slavery, pedophilia, fornication, and adultery.

how's that meme?

>>694424

Who do you love more: God or your boyfriend

>>694541

unironically me too.

Very well-stated

why do you feel ashamed about that?

>>694561

It's not about you or about anyone else. Honouring parents, loving neighbour… these aren't ends in themselves. Honour and love them for the sake of God – that is, allow your love for God to shine so brightly that it becomes love for all He has created. Pray, fast, give alms: these will help you to love. The rest will follow as a matter of course.

Roman Catholicism is a sin.

The Church doesn't even give decent spiritual counselling, lol.

It's just a big lame fraternity. The only thing good about it are it's userbase.

>Its userbase

People who the Church always connives and screws over anyways.

I can't remember how many times I've been Gangstalked by the Roman Catholic Church. They are those who compromise with sin.

How am I ever going to consider "telling my sins" to be one of God's sacraments you horrible ugly liars, usurper of the peace and contentment of God and His Son.

>>694561

I'll be honest my life took a downhill turn over the last two years and my way of coping is doing exactly what you just described.

Most people cannot and will not be reasoned with and generally respond and repent from a combination of silent contemplation and life circumstances.

What if God is using your shitty circumstances as a witness to other people to contemplate about? If you were killing it, rich af, slaying pussy etc. do you think you would be a beacon of inspiration or a stumblingblock to others around you?

Sucks, right? I just want to be left alone too but I'm also tired of the bullshit. Most people, even me to a certain extent, are legitimately powerless to help you despite wanting to but they still are infected by ego, pride and fear, so they lash out at you as a defense mechanism.

>>694584

que?

>>694533

You can ask that question in regards to literally any vice/sinful relative.

This is a bad angle to attack the problem.

If we have a sinful loved one, God would want us to stay with them and get them on the right path agian. Running away is NEVER the solution, which is pretty much why protestants are all heretics.

>>694590

All the precepts of the faith follow naturally from love for God. If your heart burns with love for God, your actions will necessarily reflect that. So, if working on virtues directly isn't going anywhere, simply abandon yourself to God. Grow in love for Him and He will direct you by the Holy Ghost.

>>694592

so an appropriate frame of reference has to be identified and applied then.

if i participate in a system and pay my taxes to something that initiates aggression under false pretenses to the innocent, then my non-participation is more righteous than participation.

I just want all Christendom to return to the faith of the first century. Much of Catholic doctrine is simply trying too hard to be different from the Orthodox, the Orthodox try to hard to be different from Catholics, Protestant churches are trying to be too autistic, and all three are filled with lazy cultural Christians who don't take their faith seriously at all.

>>694605

That would be extremely difficult considering that in the first century there was no Bible to act a common point of reference and no heresies had yet emerged against which to define and clarify the various tenets of the faith.

>>694613

>no heresies had yet emerged

That's what I want.

I guess I'll clarify as Didache + St. Justin Martyr.

>>694614

But the point is that the heresies emerged because there wasn't a concrete doctrine yet, so anyone could come up with a theory about who Jesus really was and the Church had to respond by cementing its doctrine to exclude heretical beliefs. If you went back to the first century with today's population and communication technology, you'd end up with something a thousand times worse than the absurd plurality of Protestant denominations.

>>694618

Reeee, stop pointing out my inherently flawed thinking.

>>694082

I feel like I'm going to hell because I keep being attracted to guys (I'm a virgin, I haven't done sodomy but in the heart) and I'm winnie the poohing terrified. I can feel the clock ticking one second at a time until I burn in Hell forever.

>>694082

I am going to do so after Vespers on Saturday night.

>>694082

I keep lying to my mom about going to job interviews…
