Come With Me To Catholic Confession...

[@elainejan]

Excellent talk. You really covered all the bases, and helped me in the process. Thank you.

[@elizabethdominis730]

I was going about every 3 weeks and one priest said I was scrupulous, that I had a mental problem, that I can’t live like this. Then the following few times when I saw that he was the priest in the confessional, I would walk away from the church. He made me feel like I was a nut case. Ever since, I’ve travelled over an hour to the nearest major Cathedral where no one would know or remember me.

[@chrisbrownlov1]

Wow😢 What a shame for him to say something like that

[@sheiladumigan451]

So sad a priest said that to you!! I go to confession every Sunday before Mass.

[@justforrfunnn]

Thank you Roxie for sharing all these. Your posts are always so relatable!!

[@mariesabelbujard8879]

Thank you for sharing! I believe is helping and it will help lots of people! We definitely need to go to Confession frequently!

[@amiepatterson8]

One of the scariest and best sacrament.

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

Indeed! I can't believe I stayed away for far so long.

[@amiepatterson8]

You are sharing the wonderful beauty of Holy Mother Church ❤thank you

[@greglehman7166]

Thank you so much for sharing your story and baring your soul. You hit the nail on the head when you spoke about the things that happen as you try to become more devout.

[@williamwilson9283]

This is my favorite sacrament. The graces I have received are abundant and numerous. The more often I go the stronger I feel spiritually and I am able to overcome the sins that plague me on a daily basis. Love it.❤️🙏✝️

[@asimpletree]

I always enjoy watching your content and I'm so excited to see what's in this video! May God bless you always, now and forever! ❤😊

You look so adorable with your no make up. It’s an adjustment but it suits you! Now , your inner beauty is able to shine more purely.

[@rhwinner]

Great idea for a video!

[@dloveofgod8269]

I've been watching your videos for awhile & just subscribed. I'm a much older woman but you speak to me. I think it's so wonderful you catch yourself; temptation comes & you say no. What a blessing! I returned to the Catholic church after 40 years. I still went to church but protestant churches where I didn't have to confess to a priest; I loved the Lord yet still gave into temptation & most of the time didn't have a problem with sin ...I suppose I put the Holy Spirit in the basement of my heart. Now I have regrets as to why did I not catch it or myself. Yes I go to confession often & mass as often as I can. I pray for my children & grandchildren to be kept from temptation, delivered from evil. We all have free will and the little foxes get in. I don't like gory movies at all but I saw the report of the woman who was killed being caught on fire, then read a report where another person was caught on fire. So much violence & disrespect for life. Evil is running rampart even more where we're desensitized to killing & perverse things. You make great points & I think your videos are helping others. God bless you. I lived in Brooklyn when young, lots of memories there. Have a Blessed & healthy New Year. 💕

[@cheriemainenti3380]

It is very healing. ❤

[@Agustin-Plu]

Straight facts! Your video reminded me about a time I was sharing a cautionary tale with a friend who’s pursuing a career in the entertainment industry because I truly believe that once you reach a certain point, you’ll likely face a moment where you’re tempted to compromise your integrity. It might only happen once, but even that one decision can have a lasting impact. As Christians, we’re called to stand firm in our faith and values, even when it’s difficult-even if it means walking away from an opportunity or slowing the progress of our career. This principle doesn’t just apply to the choices we make in our work but also to the media we consume. If there’s anything-even remotely-that is offensive to God, it’s time to let it go and look for something that honors Him and is more spiritually fruitful. Whether it’s the roles we take on, the shows we watch, or the music we listen to, everything should align with our faith and reflect our desire to glorify God. I encouraged my friend to think about this and trust that God will provide a better path when we put Him first and frequently seeking God in the sacraments and personal prayer.

Happy holidays Roxie how are you beautiful

[@Brianriojas11]

Thank you for spreading the truth about the ups and downs of being a Catholic…

[@catholiclife9304]

Your very lucky. 9 times a week is a blessing. We have it 7 usually. We have a beautiful faith.

[@markruiz5688]

Have you tried a 3rd Order? Definitely become involved in the Breviary.. ❤️ Amen my sister...I go once a week to confession....I also thru prayer will join the ranks of Catholics proclaiming the Lord's Church. Love you In Christ thru Mary Mark

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

Amen 🙏🏿✝️🇻🇦 I'm discerning something like this now. Thank you so much!

[@MarthaPennington88]

Hello. New subscriber. As a side note, if you like entertainment you should read the books. They tend to not have the explicit. Especially any show based off a classic film. Hollywood has warped a lot. My favorite romance novel is The Notebook but I can no longer watch the movie. Anyway, great video. I’m in RCIA and have been going to Daily Health. It has done wonders on reforming me and correcting my mental health in ways therapy has never been able to do.

[@StorytellerUCLA]

Do churches still offer non face to face confession anymore?

[@kzbaby2002]

Yes. Most offer both options with the priest in the center able to be at the screen or face to face.

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

Yes, absolutely! And it depends on the parish and how they set things up.

[@nickyb.5170]

Confession is one of the sacraments I struggle with the most. I have trauma, depression and anxiety... I overthink and hyper analyze everything. I only became Catholic in my thirties and I find myself constantly thinking: Wait, did I confess that? did I confess this memory? Etc, etc. Then I struggle with feeling like I didn't examine my conscience properly because if I had I would have remembered those sins before confession and... it just keeps getting worse. It's a horrible spiral. I've stepped away from confession entirely for a time as I try to sort out my mental health issues... It doesn't help that our current priest doesn't speak English very well so when I try to ask him for guidance I don't understand his advice and he doesn't understand what I'm asking... I tried seeking a priest outside our community but every time I try to make an appointment he's busy... Anyway, sorry... don't know why I'm sharing all this. I guess maybe in hopes someone who sees this will say a prayer for me. I need so much prayer in this struggle. I'm really, really lost right now when it comes to how to tackle this beautiful but confusing sacrament.

[@sheiladumigan451]

🙏🙏..I have found by going to confession every week before Mass has made it soooo much easier.. I dreaded going before too..I pray you will find a good priest to go to. .The Franciscan Friars of The Immaculate is who I love to go. 🙏❤️

[@kzbaby2002]

My husband is a tv junky. We watch a lot of series. If there is too much sex we usually stop watching. Otherwise if it’s some sex I usually look down. Not that I’m a prude but it doesn’t add to the show and it degrades the act. And they make it so realistic today it’s ridiculous.

[@Maniflore]

Do you attend a TLM church ?? She's absolutely gorgeous ..

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

This is just a regular parish.

[@blaiseaimee7098]

When I went to see the movie CONCLAVE (which I was worried about already that it might be heretical or have undertones of being anti-Catholic) there was a preview of the new Nicole Kidman film and it was so disturbing I felt like I needed to go to confession after! I didn't choose to watch that preview, but everywhere we look we have depravity and sin shoved in our face. The world wants to desensitize us to unimaginable sins and sadly it's working for the majority of people.

[@JoesPalace]

I went to confession yesterday the priest had his smart phone laying on table next to him. This is the second time I've seen this the other time was a different priest. I looked at the cell phone and said oh you have your cell phone in the confessional? He said yeah. I asked him if that was breaking the seal of the confessional? He said it wasn't recording. I said not that you know of and left!

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

Priests can not legally break the seal of confession, or else they will be stripped of the priesthood and will be automatically excommunicated. They can't even do that for court cases or investigations. Even if someone admitted to murder or any kind of heinous crime, they simply can not reveal that. They take the vows and sacrament of Holy Orders very seriously. There are several priests who have been killed by government regimes because they would rather die and be martyred than break the seal. It's a real thing. A grave matter. Also, realize that for some parishes, there may not be a bunch of people at confession, so he could perhaps be using his phone to read scripture. I know our pastor will pray the Divine Office for the day because our confession happens during one of the hours that he has to be praying. He has pulled it out to give me quotes from saints, scripture, or other things that relate to the conversation of what I'm struggling with during our confessional. But it's never used to record anything. If he is a priest who has the responsibility to run a parish mostly by himself or is the head pastor, he might need his phone on hand to be reached. There are a number of legit reasons that have nothing to do with recording confessions. So I think that you should probably give him the benefit of the doubt - and not have fear about him doing anything nefarious. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, then you have a right to go somewhere else as well, but I don't think this is something that I would personally worry about.

[@JoesPalace]

@@thatblackcatholicchick Yes I understand all of that but cell phones can be hacked and anyone could be listening!

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

@JoesPalace I think you're giving your own fears and suspicious a little too much power. If we honestly think about it, no one is really interested in any of our confessions like that. In fact, it's quite prideful (pride being one of the 7 deadly sins) to think we are so important that anyone is going out of their way to do that. And look at what it's doing... Exactly what the devil wants. Keeping you potentially away from or fearful of confession. Just a thought.

[@JoesPalace]

@@thatblackcatholicchick Both of these priests were in their 20's so I don't think they are naive about cell phone security risks! It makes me wonder if the rumors about the Catholic church cooperating with the FBI are true!

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

@@JoesPalace ok... So here's the thing. Young Catholic priests are the MOST conservative of all the generations of priests today. As per: www.ncronline.org/news/younger-us-catholic-priests-increasingly-identify-conservative-says-new-report www.americamagazine.org/faith/2023/11/20/young-conservative-priests-synod-246549 crisismagazine.com/podcast/why-are-young-catholics-more-conservative-guest-fr-gabriel-mosher-op www.nytimes.com/2024/07/10/us/catholic-priests-conservative-politics.html It sounds to me like you're making every excuse to not utilize the sacrament and let your own scrupulosity get the best of you. That's something you need to bring to prayer, nothing I or anyone says will convince you to believe what's not a threat if you have convinced yourself it is. We can pray for you. In the meantime, simply find another parish to confess. It's really that simple.

[@StorytellerUCLA]

Are you veiling again?

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Today I didn't. Christmas mass I did. Tomorrow I might, or might not. The veil is an outward symbol of submission, and either way my life, body and soul are fully His regardless of what's on my head. 🙏🏿✝️🇻🇦😊

[@radiovendemiaire5402]

What are your thoughts on Rahner's inclusivist notion of "anonymous Christians", those who perform good works due to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit but do not believe in the Gospel simply as a result of ignorance, not their own will? It is supported by the view that, though Jesus said that "no-one comes to the Father except through me" that does not necessarily imply that one must believe to be saved, simply that Christ is the vehicle of salvation.

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

I don't know who that is. One can not call themselves a Christian if they aren't baptized or if they don't know Christ. So there isn't a such thing as an anonymous Christian. If one doesn't believe in the gospel, then they aren't Christian. There is no Christian without the gospel or Christ. So that theory in and of itself collapses on that basis alone. You have Jews and Muslims who live a good life, but don't believe in Christ as the Messiah. There are others in that situation as well. Their salvation is between them and God.

God bless you in your discernment. Please don't debase people you call "rad trads." I attend the Traditional Latin Mass and I wear a head covering in church. I pray the Rosary in Latin ( I haven't yet completely learned the Apostle's Creed, the Salve Reginia, and the final prayer.) People who attend TLM have a deep love of God, Our Savior, and our Mother Mary and have a deep respect for the beauty and solemnity of worship. That being said, I try to go to confession once a week or every two weeks. It's always hard for me.

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

I am making a commentary on those who have debased me verbally on this channel and who continue to cause unnecessary division on social media because of their allegiance to a liturgy, while blashpeming another. They need to be called out. Wearing a veil does not make one trad. It makes one simply a Catholic woman who has made a choice in how she worships. Degrading others for not making that choice is a whole other level. And that's exactly what I experienced on this platform. It doesn't matter what language one prays in. Whether it's English, Latin, French, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, etc. We are all praying to the same Christ. The divisive rhetoric needs to stop.

[@Markybothegoat]

Pray to JESUS CHRIST! 🙌🏾 Mary can’t help you! 😭

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

This is a Catholic channel. Please don't come over here spewing your disrespect and ignorance. We ALREADY pray to Jesus Christ. If you don't understand that, then please use the search bar to find apologetic channels that talk about what Catholics believe. This isn't the space for Protestant disrespect or degrading of Catholicism.

Confess your sins straight to God through Jesus. No need for a priest. That is what builds the relationship with him. A personal one. God bless

[@thatblackcatholicchick]

I'm going to give you a word of warning. I have zero tolerance for people who are disrespectful of my faith. This has been clarified for over 500 years of what we do as Catholics. Your statement is erroneous, it also goes against scripture as I have clearly pointed out. If you want to DIALOG and ask questions, do that. This gross mischaracterization isn't it.

Unfortunately, that's not how Jesus set it up...
