I lack the interest to follow the lead, but such a thing could actually be a useful exercise.

A couple of years ago, I think it was FEMA that did a large zombie apocalypse exercise: not because it was a real risk, but they wanted something they hadn’t planned for to see how they responded to the unanticipated.

utterly off-topic, but while I’m at it . . . a few years ago, someone had the luxury suite at a theater and I was invited. What movie? Oh, it’s about vampires and werewolves. Surprisingly, my wife came too (maybe I didn’t mention the monsters:) ). Walking out, we were dumbfounded: a chick flick? really?

I think it’s pretty interesting actually lol! I watch The Walking Dead, and sometimes when I watch it I ask myself what the moral implications of it would be if it were a real life situation. This article pretty much sums it up. St. Thomas prepared us for a Zombie uprising, and that is something I would love to see integrated into the show somehow 😂

I immediately felt uncomfortable with the image (haven’t even read the article). Is my reaction reasonable?

Yeah. I’m a teenager who likes reading churchpop from time to time, but that is disrespectful of them to do that to Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Why is everybody treating Fr. Mike like some sort of meme? He’s still one of my top 3 favorite priests.

A lot of women think Fr. Mike is handsome/ attractive. It doesn’t take away from his preaching. It’s good that you like him, it shows his message is getting across.
 

Urban Dictionary: Father What-A-Waste

Nickname for a Catholic priest who has the unfortunate distinction of being the hottest guy in the parish. The epitome of unattainableness & a constant source of frustration for Catholic schoolgirls.

heck, I’m a dude who is strongly discerning the priesthood…

If ordination gets me Fr. Mike looks, sign me up
 
Is this sinful? I am wondering because the other day I was wondering weather I aught to confess this or not because I think he’s handsome. I even stopped watching his videos because I wonder if I’m not doing something wrong by watching them knowing that I think he is handsome 😣
 
If you’re not being lustful about it, absolutely not. Admiring God’s creation is in no way shape or form a sin
 
You see, this is what I don’t get. What exactly does it mean to lust? How do I know if I lusted?
 
I’m more concerned with the fact that a “Catholic Buzzfeed” is even allowed to exist than whatever sacrilegious nonsense said “Catholic Buzzfeed” propagates.

I really like some of their things, especially the things posted by Caroline. The also have two really creative Catholic video games on there! It’s not a bad website at all. Check it out 🙂
 
Right, but how do I know if I did this? Is it a feeling? You see, I am struggling because I know the definition, I know what it is, but how do I know if this is something that I’ve actually done?

I should probably mention that I have OCD and feelings are kind of blurry. This is why I am wondering if there is a more concrete way to know.

Are you thinking
“wow, he’s really attractive”
or
'Wow, the things I would do with him…"

Essentially, is it sexual or not?
 
This is perfect! All I thought was that he was attractive and it made me uncomfortable 😂! I saw that you are considering the priesthood. Explaining things like these to people with OCD and stuff really helps because feelings and thoughts are kind of weird. Thank you!

If you’re not thinking about kissing him or going to bed with him, it’s not lustful.

Most mature people are capable of admiring people who we think are good looking without necessarily thinking about how we’d like to “get busy” with them. It’s the same as we admire a beautiful work of art.
 
Thank you so much! I don’t want to take over the thread so this will be my last comment, but you guys have really helped me! For years I’ve been trying to figure it out and no one knew how to explain it to me. Now I know 🙂 Thank you!
 
Doubtful sins should be ignored. It is your OCD messing with your head.
