If you are a catholic, .win is the most hateful corner of the Internet. I struggle to reconcile this website which represents 90% of my views, with the fact that any post remotely referencing the church gets brigaded. Even if it is in a positive light.
Not your fault but thank you for sharing this video of a based priest. My parish priest is totally based when it comes to the JQ.
My observation of the state of the church over the past few years is that you have a ton of boomers that came up under VII. They don’t care about the liturgy, like shitty worship music, and are selfish and greedy. And then you have millennials and zoomers that are joining the church in droves and tend to be extremely based. So I have hope for the future.
My guess is that when the pope or some bishop makes some stupid comment that is not binding and does not matter, that it represents the views of the entire church. Most of us are here for Christ and the traditions handed down to us.
I would challenge anyone who sneers at us to attend a Latin mass and not have their heart be moved.
I actually used to church-shop and attended some. The only problem with the Catholic church when I was attending at the time were unfriendly people and they all looked extremely sad. It was depressing to be there.
Yeah, this is a thing. The mass is a sacrifice as it essentially reenacts the last supper. We are focused on Christ’s gifts to us, which helps you meditate on if you are being a good Christian. For example, special days on the liturgical calendar are called “solemnities” because mass tends to be a solemn event. Then we socialize before and after.
That is why Mass doesn’t seem fun or like everybody is happy. But, the positive that you get out of it is you walk out feeling refreshed after receiving the Eucharist, and ready to start your week. And if you have a good priest, some words of wisdom from his homily.
It may seem somewhat bleak but if you understand why we attend mass it might make more sense. I challenge anyone to attend a Latin mass and not have their heart be moved. Hope that helps!
I completely agree, but it's actually better now than it was 5 years ago. If you had even hinted that you were Catholic you were dog piled to no end. Now at least people hear out what you have to say, for the most part, though there are still some Luther worshipers who will hear none of it.

I am sorry.
