Maybe you should stop attending churches in your local gay bar.

…huh?

I mean, I assume this is intended as some kind of burn, but it makes no sense even as a joke. He’s attending a church that’s inside a gay bar? What does that mean?

I’m just genuinely confused.

Raised Catholic. Devout. My thoughts are the same as yours on this. Thank you for sharing. I hope your post won’t be taken down.
 
I think I have to agree with @Anonkun on this one.
Not denying that’s never happened, though.
Catholicism doesn’t really fit neatly on the political spectrum.
Nor should it.
With that said, the fact I am getting an ad that has to do with toilets is completely accurate for this thread (not for y’all, y’all are fine).
 
You were posting poor comparisons between Communism and Christianity. I doubt you actually care if someone calls you a socialist. 😂

CAF presents a twisted image of the Church IRL. I have never met people with such extreme views in parishes I have attended.

Yeah, I have to say a lot of it makes me wonder if some weird stuff is going on in my fellow parishioners’ minds and they don’t say so out loud but just post it somewhere instead.

Also, as much as I hate to say this, a lot of the “dating” posts remind me of why when I was young I avoided men who were overly religious, and married a nice relaxed nonpracticing Protestant.
 
CAF’s image of the Church just isn’t normal.

If they could shut down the world news (and even Catholic News) forums and keep up the others (Familia’s Life get’s wonky too) I could see it staying active.

I mean how many threads are really required related to mantillas and modesty??

You’re right. I usually don’t care considering those who call me such have little knowledge of what socialism is, beyond “something Democrats are in favor of.”
 
I want to finish this place as I have always posted. It is a laudable goal.

I was thinking about this phrase and wondering if the age of people here had any correlation on the ability to have civilized discourse. On reflection, I decided there unlikely any correlation. Some of the worst offenders I know are older. Also, I have been rather impressed with the poster above @StudentMI, whom I assume must be a student. If so, he has shown greater maturity and restrain than many who are older and should know better.

Perhaps. But it’s better to be a little rude and correct in God’s eyes than a polite person who doesn’t stand up for the Church when it’s necessary. Jesus wouldn’t have come across as polite when he got angry with the money lenders, or when he cast demons into the swine that weren’t his.

I agree with you about @StudentMI. I would like him to know that there is wisdom and potential for conveying the bigger picture in his online presence.

That is what is known as a false dichotomy. There simply is no trade off between acting with grace and charity and doctrinal accuracy.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22.
