I gradually left Protestantism starting about 7-8 years ago and left it for good a couple of years ago. During this time, I've been trying to discern whether I belong in the Catholic or Orthodox church. It's not easy and I'm very conflicted.
@andrejcccc Күн бұрын
probably yes, based on the simple fact that i, as an orthodox christian was informed that in the absence of an orthodox priest, i could still recieve last rites/ communion etc from a catholic priest, thereby legitimising their rites. it might be frowned upon within the community but nevertheless allowed and recognised by the church

my gfs ex husband was a serial cheater, she was faithful and tried save the marriage, but he continued to be a scumbag. Why should she be expected to live with this for the rest of her life? There is NOTHING sacred about what she was forced to endure! I’d say If my lord, Jesus Christ, were physically here today he would agree! My interpretation: the unfaithful should NOT be allowed to remarry and commit further adultery. That is the true meaning of SIN!
@CatechesisVids 19 күн бұрын
We don't have to wonder what Christ *would* say were he physically here, since he directly tells us the evils of adultery in the Gospels. If your girlfriend was sacramentally and validly married the first time, then no earthly power whatsoever can ever dissolve her union to her husband - because consummated marriage is absolutely unbreakable. The Church acknowledges legitimate abusive situations where separation is necessary, but the separated couple (unfaithful or otherwise) are not free to form a new bond because the old one still exists. She's "expected to live with this" because that's what marriage is - an unbreakable bond. Now that said, it may be that your girlfriend was not validly married in the first place. But you would have to consult a canon lawyer of your diocese to ascertain that. If her husband intended to adulterate before they started their married life, for instance, then that could mean the bond was invalid. But again, ask your diocesan tribunal.

Just makes me angry, I could be a wife beater, alcoholic or porn addict but that's no problem as long as you are in a sacramental marriage, just confess to a priest and a week later commit the same sins again and join the confession line, but me who over the years have done lots of work in my former parish in my own time and told 'sorry you big bad sinner go away'

How do Protestants have valid baptism if they dont believe in baptism? If the Protestant babtism is merely symbolic, then so is the marraige. Maight as well just donthe legal marraige at the courthouse. The Protestant Reformation changed the definition of marriage.
@CatechesisVids 29 күн бұрын
It's sufficient for baptismal validity for the Protestant who says the right words and does the right actions (a trinitarian baptism with water), who also holds that baptism is part of the process of salvation, to forgive sins and validly baptize. They don't have to have perfect theological understanding of its importance, so long as the baptized person consents to it. There are protestant baptisms that could be invalid given a certain context, but they are generally presumed to be valid.
@kevinmac8629 29 күн бұрын
@CatechesisVids Do you understand that baptism is a holy mystery for the remission of sins. Protestantism denies that, nor to they have ordained clergy to be an intermediary. So in your opinion the laity can just baptize the laity? Their opinion is that there's nothing happening in the water. It's just a symbol of faith. That's not baptism.

It's you who don't understand Nicea. Let me explain: Most Protestants believe Jesus to forgive sins. Some understand baptism well, that it really forgives sins sacramentally (Anglicans) and some understand poorly which is that Christ uses baptism as a symbol but that the effects of grace are dispensed through some other means (Baptists). Evangelicals who hold to the latter view are wrong, but not so wrong that they cannot receive grace through the sacrament. They expect to receive grace from Christ, even if they do not understand the means it is given. There is of course a third category such as Mormons, who do not believe in original sin or understand the trinity in a meaningful sense - thinking God to be more like a superhero. Their baptism is not efficacious, and is not sacrament according to the Vatican.

@@CatechesisVids It doesn't matter what they believe. I could hold a perfect understanding of doctrine and then also think I can be outside the Church and expect grace from God. There's no way you know who receives grace and who does not outside the Church.

God's will is the will of his holy Church, so we don't have to wonder what he wants. The matter of the eucharist must necessarily be bread - this is the tradition and understanding of the Church in all times and places. All things correspond to God as their maker, but only the bread and wine used in the eucharistic sacrifice undergoes - or can undergo - substantial change to become God himself. If a priest tried to confect the eucharist without bread or wine, nothing would happen and what would result would not be God. Understanding this is absolutely key to understanding the eucharist.

Husbands have real obligations and real responsibilities for their wives* and children... to totally provide for their families. (1 Tim 5:8). Pope Pius XI and most Catholic hierarchy and clergy lust after power. Catholic clergy habitually fixate on the husband's supposed POWER, while they ignore or minimize the husband's Christian OBLIGATIONS to his wife. Catholic clerical focus is distorted by their own love of power, wealth and honors (BVM @La Salette 1846). Pius XI resorts to idiotic caricatures of man and woman. He deliberately ignores that Christian headship is servanthood. "Jesus, the Model Servant Leader Jesus submitted his own life to sacrificial service under the will of God (Luke 22:42), and he sacrificed his life freely out of service for others (John 10:30). He came to serve (Matthew 20:28) although he was God’s son and was thus more powerful than any other leader in the world. He healed the sick (Mark 7:31-37), drove out demons (Mark 5:1-20), was recognized as Teacher and Lord (John 13:13), and had power over the wind and the sea and even over death (Mark 4:35-41; Matthew 9:18-26)."

Some clarification needed; 1. What does deep-seated homosexual tendencies actually mean? Just possessing homosexual attraction? What if one doesn't desire in any capacity to act on or even feel these desires? I understand why someone who openly *identifies* as gay should be excluded, but someone who possesses the attraction and in no way desires to act on it (or doesn't exclusively possess the attraction; someone who is attracted to both men and women, and doesn't wish to act on either) doesn't really seem to have a problem when it comes to ordination to me? 2. What option is left for men with homosexual desires? No marriage and no priesthood; what could they be called to? If they intrinsically cannot be called to either the priesthood or marriage, what do they have for vocations? Thanks for any help.
@CatechesisVids Ай бұрын
1 is tricky, since in some measure all men have the capacity for all sins - and therefore no one (to use modern terminology) is 100% "straight", even though by nature all persons are naturally ordered only towards an attraction to the opposite sex. I can't really be more specific than that, so you might have to ask a good canonist or theologian more directly familiar with that question. With regard to 2, I might hypothesize that a man who has a deep seated homosexual inclination might be called to take vows and live a religious life - like the great hermits of old. Or if they are "bisexual" (to again use modern terminology) they might still be able to marry so long as they can consummate. This is just the results if a minute's musing so don't take it as gospel.

The annulment thing didn't work out for me. After my witnesses failed to come forward, I was told that I needed to find at least three new witnesses, who had known me for five years. As I am from a broken family, and I had relocated twice in the preceding ten years, I didn't have what the Marriage Tribunal was asking for. When I told them this, the secretary for the Tribunal sent me an email saying that if I cannot come up with the witnesses, there was "nothing they could do for me (they did advise me to go to a priest, but I have been unable to get an audience with one)." When my wife told me she felt "disrespected" by the process, I withdrew my petition and ended my candidacy for initiation into the church, spending some time in a Lutheran and a Presbyterian church (my wife's nominal denomination); I am currently leaning towards becoming a Deist. I have no respect whatsoever for the Marriage Tribunal, or the "work" it does; they meddle in affairs that are none of their business, and re-traumatize people who have gone through civil divorce.
@CatechesisVids Ай бұрын
I'm sorry to hear you had a bad interaction with a tribunal. I would say two things: 1) marriages are presumed to have validity unless proven otherwise according to the canons - and this is to prevent the possibility of adultery through false remarriage. It therefore makes sense that witnesses were required, because obviously the couple should not be the only ones involved in deciding their own case. 2) Tribunals are not a monolith; every diocese has a different one and you may be able to seek the recourse of the tribunal of a different diocese depending on your life circumstances.
