My blood pressure is regularly high from stress, I'm not sleeping well, every week there's some new disrespectful remark, or joke, or event. It honestly feels like our Parish is some community center that just-so-happens to have Mass while we're there. I can't take it anymore 2/2

I need some prayers.
Under our new Priest, I've been struggling with a lot of anger, frustration, and depression. I used to want to spend all day every day at Mass/my Parish because I felt closest to God there; but now it's the place I feel farthest from Him. 1/2

@Catholicizm1 Pope St. Francis so I can ask how I can be more inclusive of non-Christian faiths
English
St. Paul so I could ask him about the katechon

If you could sit and talk for 1 hour with any Saint in history, other than Our Lady, who would it be?
English
@ServusDeiVivi So where in Canada are you advocating for the abolition of Capital Punishment?
English
@daviddukeakis False equivalency. We're done here, arguing with you is physically painful.
English
Capital Punishment in the OT was very rare, and had very specific requirements before it could be enacted.
With modern prisons, there's no need to kill someone to prevent them from harming others, because their chance of escaping prison is significantly lower than then.
Catholics for Catholics 🇺🇲@CforCatholics
Pope Leo says he condemns capital punishment. Pope Francis' 2018 revision of the death penalty in the catechism continues to confuse the church. "Consequently, the Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person”, and she works with determination for its abolition worldwide." CCC 2267 A REMINDER: God first enacted the death penalty when he told Adam and Eve, "From that tree you shall not eat; when you eat from it you shall die." Gen 2:17

@ServusDeiVivi And since you brought it up, abortions still occur in places where it’s illegal so fighting that pro life cause of worthy. There are no ‘back alley’ executions in states where it’s not legal. The proportionality is absurd. My original point is it’s a red herring
English
@daviddukeakis For the same reason people in states where abortion is already illegal should advocate for a ban in states where abortion IS legal. It's really not a hard concept.
English
@ServusDeiVivi You’re avoiding the issue again. Back to your abortion comparison, there actually is not as large of an anti-abortion movement in states where it’s already illegal compared to places where it is. So why should Catholics in places where CP is not practiced focus on it?
English
@daviddukeakis How is this a "top tier" issue? The Pope is talking about it. He was also talking about peace instead of war, advocating against genocide in Nigeria...are you forgetting that intentionally?
English
@ServusDeiVivi Do you not understand the concept of proportionality? Capital Punishment has been on a sharp decline in the West for a century. Why is this now becoming the top issue for Catholics (like yourself) to focus on? It’s clearly a distraction and not the best use of our effort
English
@daviddukeakis This is the same line of thinking pro-aborts use when arguing for abortion: Don't like it, don't have one. If we only talk about things personally effecting us, who is going to advocate for those on death row?
English
@ServusDeiVivi Shouldn’t Catholics first concern themselves with issues they actually engage in? Surely a much greater outcome from that than attempting to halt the ~30 executions per year in the US (which have nothing to do with the average person)
English
@daviddukeakis Are you unaware that you can focus on more than one issue at once, and that issues directly resulting in the death of another human being are pretty serious and timely issues?
English
@ServusDeiVivi If you have a congregations of Catholics in states where Capital Punishment is not practiced, why focus them on that issue? Surely it’s a distraction from all of the other sins occurring under their own roof
English
@daviddukeakis You seem like an entirely unreasonable person.
English
@ServusDeiVivi Wrong. The people who “talk” about it the most live in places where it doesn’t occur anyway.
English
@daviddukeakis Talking about something that can end another persons life, whether or not you're directly effected by that, is an important conversation to have.
English
Why are THEY all on speaker phone on public transportation?!

@MurrayHillGuy1 You’re an “amazing guy” but the other guy is even better!
English
@EricRSammons The goalposts for “conservative” have shifted
English
I remember Catholics saying in the 1990's that the new priests would save us because they were more conservative. But that didn't happen.
Now, however, it looks like the new priests really might save us.
Ryan Burge 📊@ryanburge
Among Catholic priests who were ordained in the late 1960s: 68% describe their theology as progressive. 16% said it was conservative. Among priests ordained in the last few years: 2% describe their theology as progressive. 84% said it was conservative.

Someone in America needs to start a men's only gym chain. As a Catholic man that needs to lift and do cardio for physical and mental health, it's a war to keep custody of my eyes every single time. Women do not wear appropriate clothing. It's gross.
