Perpetually In A State Of Mass Confusion

Hi! I'm Samantha and this is my little Catholic side blog. My main blog is propitlikeithot.tumblr.com and there should be very little crossover between the two.

I know people like to call this the Catholic guilt website, but the complex seems a lot more Calvinist to me.

[catalexandriae]

This post brought to you by another post I saw where it started out with someone saying they were working on trying to forgive themselves and then it devolved into arguing about "we don't forgive abusers" and arguing back about how are people supposed to become better ad nauseam until finally someone called the whole affair a bunch of "Catholic guilt posting."

If it was actually Catholic posting it would have started with the person saying "I need to go to confession about this" and ended with them being forgiven and moving on and resolving to be a better person. The needless guilt and inability to change smacks much more of total depravity theology to me than of Catholicism.

[jh-newman-opn]

the whole "catholic guilt" thing to me seems to come from people who fundamentally have a very protestant/calvinist view of sin and try to apply that to confession.... it's this poisonous idea that God damns people for simply being, or that forgiveness is a terribly mysterious, elusive thing. Real catholicism is like. You sin all the time and you get forgiven all the time. rinse and repeat. go get ur forgiveness from this man in a box who will give you a virtuous side quest and some advice. doesn't matter if the thing is very bad or very silly. u get to do this every week. bring ur friends. <3

ol' tumblr mutual is looking for some help with finding catholic orders, particularly with acceptance with cases of mental illness that are fine with regular prescribed medication.

I don't see why this would make someone immediately rejected... any insight from those who have discerned or are discerning the religious life? Any orders you might suggest taking a look at? Thank!!!

Tagging @mademoisellesarcasme if you have any insight on this?

[disorientedcatholic]

For clarification, I have told orders that I have a mental health conditions and have been denied with no questions asked.

“You shouldn’t follow Vatican II! Vatican II Catholics are in error! TRUE Catholics embrace the faith of pre-Vatican II days!”

Hmm let’s see, should I follow the guidance of well-read and seasoned priests, bishops, and popes, or should I follow the advice of 21-year-old armchair theologians on the Internet? This is a very hard choice for me to make.

What if every time someone reblogs this I have to pray the Rosary?

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

(Saint Matthew Chapter 28:20)

.

I am the living Bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever.

St. John 6:51-52

.

The bread that I will give is My flesh for the life of the world.

St. John 6:52

.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has life everlasting, and I will raise him up on the last day.

St. John 6:55

.

My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

St. John 6:56

.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood, abides in Me and I in him.

St. John 6:57

.

And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you.Do this for a commemoration of me. In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.

St. Luke 22:19-20

.

The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.

1 Corinthians 10:16-17

.

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread. And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me. In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.

1 Corinthians 11:23-30

The Saints on Eucharist Adoration

.

"I understand that, each time we contemplate with desire and devotion the Host in which is hidden Christ's Eucharistic Body, we increase our merits in heaven and secure special joys to be ours later in the beatific vision of God."

(St. Gertrude)

.

A Holy Hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament is so important to Jesus that a multitude of souls go to Heaven who otherwise would have gone to hell.

(Jesus revelation to Blessed Dina Belanger)

.

"By nocturnal adoration you will obtain from My Heart things which cannot be obtained from Me in any other way, especially the liberation of souls from the influence and oppression of the powers of darkness" -from 'In Sinu Iesu, The Journal of A Priest.'

.

"How many among the best Catholics never pay a visit of devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament to speak with Him from the heart, to tell Him their love!But if in spite of knowing Him and His love and the sacrifices and desires of His Heart, they still do not love Him, what an insult! Yes, an insult! For it amounts to telling Jesus Christ that He is not beautiful enough, not good enough, not lovable enough to be preferred to what they love."

(St. Peter Julian Eymard)

.

“Know also that you will probably gain more by praying fifteen minutes before the Blessed Sacrament than by all the other spiritual exercises of the day. True, Our Lord hears our prayers anywhere, for He has made the promise, ‘Ask, and you shall receive,’ but He has revealed to His servants that those who visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament will obtain a more abundant measure of grace.”

(St. Alphonsus Liguori)

The bulk of a child’s religious education and upbringing should be coming from the parents. Period. Whether you choose to put your kid in a Christian private school, do homeschool that incorporates religious lessons into the curriculum, or go with public school with Sunday school and home lessons/habits mixed in, parents are the ones responsible for raising their kids in the faith. You can’t just dump your kid off at Sunday school or the weekly faith formation class at church and then expect him to grow up a perfect little Christian, because classes at church are meant to be supplementary, not your kid’s main source of religious influence.

Sometimes I think about how the paintings of the agony in the garden are ........inaccurate? I mean Jesus is fully God but He is also fully man and when we are afraid we don’t usually look up placidly at the sky while kneeling in the grass. I basically break down before taking a hard exam and you think that Jesus was all stoic like that before He was tortured and died for us? No, He sweat blood.

Now look at THIS

[fiery-blue-firefly]

“But realize, every “you shall not” in the Bible is a promise of God’s protection. He is not preventing you from enjoying life; rather, He is saving you—keeping you from destroying yourself. Every command in His Word is an expression of divine love to you, His beloved child… . Adam and Eve didn’t understand this and the world is still paying for it. Don’t you make the same mistake.”

So I’ve been weeding for the Carmelite sisters and I found out they have two (female) cats so I’m just going to ruin/make their lives by making little habits for them

Heaven is only overrated if God’s not the one you’re hoping to find there.
