Journey of a Convert

“I’m just trying to find a religion that dovetails with my pre-existing prejudices and moral suppositions, I’m fine with lighting a couple candles and getting a new tattoo or necklace or book or something but I’m not actually looking to change anything substantive about myself”

“I just feel like an encounter with the supernatural would complement the hobbies and behaviors that I already enjoy and none of which I have any intention of modifying”

After fertilization the child has its own unique genetic code from the mother and father, containing everything it needs to know how to develop, an organism exists after fertilization that did not exist before. This is a scientific fact. This is a unique human life. An abortion ends this life.

Fight against sin with all your might. You have only one life to be a saint. If you have even a suspicion that something is a near occasion of sin for you, avoid it, get rid of it, do whatever you have to do. Pray at all times. You don’t get another chance if you die in a state of mortal sin.

Are you implying that if you die in sin while a Christian you go to hell?

Oooof thats literally not biblical but okay. Once saved, always saved.

Just in case there’s any confusion, it’s not “if you’re saved but then you sin you’re no longer saved” it’s “if you’re saved but then through actions AND intention turn away from God, rejecting his salvation, you’re no longer saved”

Thats not biblical.

Well I’m not a Calvinist

I'm not either. I just only believe the bible, and nothing else.

Sola scriptura isn’t biblical, ironically

We had tradition before we had Holy Scripture and nowhere in the Bible does it say that Scripture should be our only source of Faith

you can tell a lot about someone based on their phone background. it shows what’s most important to them

Reblog this and put what your phone background in the tags

My mom sent me a tiny man that I have to bury in the ground. Catholicism is wild

God I hate shaving so much

pants aren’t immodest y’all. get some critical thinking skills I am begging you

Good evening I hate witchcraft and paganism

My sister is going through some of this now, her husband is Catholic but she is not so they got permission from his bishop to get married and they are having a small Catholic ceremony shortly before their “real” big party and public vows ceremony that’s gonna be pretty secular. This is partly because (as I understand it) the Catholic vows and blessings for a marriage are specific and particular and you need to have them or at least be pretty close to them in a Protestant ceremony to have a sacramental marriage. Hope that helps!

Yeah I mean that post about trad women burning their pants...I mean...that is exactly what I'm talking about...I can't not wear pants to my job and I thought our whole schtick was that what you wear is not necessarily an expression of your gender. You can wear pants and be a good, faithful Catholic woman okay come ON people

Also this reminds me that I once read a book on dressing modestly that said that wearing pants was inherently sinful because the lines drew men’s eyes to your crotch and I still ????? think about that from time to time i mean ?????

What a fucking mood
