Let's take some time to pray for everyone that is currently struggling with mental health conditions. Be that struggles with symptoms, medication and it's side effects, accessing treatment, or the stigma and hostilities they might experience from people in their life.

Lord, have mercy

I don't understand what is the problem with adopting a child. Maybe it's because I'm not from the US but why are so many people speaking up against it?? All the adopted person I met through my life were extremely happy to be adopted and now I see people who were adopted saying that adopting should not be an option??

A lot of people criticize other people not being able to do certain things at certain age and how this generation isn't as mature at age 30 as the people in the previous generations.

St. Augustine realized that Christianity is true at age 30. Even if he admitted that he had loved God late. But if he can learn something so crucial for his salvation at that age and became one of the greatest philosopher in Western thought, then maybe the point of life isn't hitting milestones at certain ages, but to keep striving for truth, goodness, and beauty for as long as we shall live.

Because it's proving to be a significant issue in my church hunt and I'm curious where other Knitting Circle folks are,

*If your church leadership is structured differently and uses words/roles other than elders/deacons/pastors, just pick whatever best approximates your views

#as a catholic would love to have female deacons again like in the early church but knowing that female deacons were very very different from #the male ones

"Mary has been made more glorious in her person than in her office; her purity is a higher gift than her relationship to God. This is what is implied in Christ's answer to the woman in the crowd who cried out, when he was preaching, 'Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts which thou hast sucked.' He replied by pointing out to his disciples a higher blessedness; 'Yea, rather blessed,' he said, 'are they who hear the word of God and keep it...'

Protestants take these words in disparagement of our Lady's greatness, but they really tell the other way. For consider them; he lays down a principle that it is more blessed to keep his commandments than to be his Mother, but who even of Protestants will say that she did not keep his commandments? She kept them surely, and our Lord does but say that such obedience was in a higher line of privilege than her being his Mother. She was more blessed in her detachment from creatures, in her devotion to God, in her virginal purity, in her fullness of grace, than in her maternity. This is the constant teaching of the holy Fathers: 'More blessed was Mary,' says St Augustine, 'in receiving Christ's faith, than in conceiving Christ's flesh.' And St Chrysostom declares that she would not have been blessed, though she had borne him in the body, had she not heard the word of God and kept it.

This of course is an impossible case; for she was made holy that she might be his Mother, and the two blessednesses cannot be divided." - St John Henry Newman, The Mystical Rose, originally in Discourses to Mixed Congregations

u kno. lgbt ppl who, despite abuse from religious family members or the church themselves, feel a strong connection to their faith and choose to be active within it are legitimately and genuinely incredibly brave

How are people so upset that a catholic woman wants pr*stitution to end. What do you expect that I say, that I support s*x work? That I'm okay with women being forced to sell their bodies to survive, because there are disgusting men that think it's their right to rape someone to satisfy their most beastly impulse, or to make money thanks to it? I'm not.

Women deserve pr*stitution to end. They don't deserve all of this and also do not deserve to ruin all their life because of platform like of.

Also, I absolutely do not want women to pay because of it. If they do voluntary s*x work because "omg look how much I can do thanks to men who see me only as a piece of meat and do not consider that I'm a person with a dignity", and that become illegal, I do not want them to go to jail. Absolutely not. If they can, they can pay a penalty, but if they are doing it to survive they deserve to find help so they can start a new life.

On the other hand, if disgusting men are forcing women to do it, well, they deserve the jail.

#thank you ❤️

Anyway, stop with this pr*stitution things. I'm tired and people seems to not be able to read.

1 - Yes, I want help for ALL the women that were forced to do it or had no other way to survive.

2 - I want the demand to stop. So yes, I know that if John X is the one wanting to buy s*x, he should be the one to pay.

3 - When I was talking about women paying penalty I was talking very specifically about the ones who do of, p*rn or other stuff just because they think it's the easy way to earn thousands of money quickly, just because they do not want to work. They are giving their contribution to glamorize s*x work, saying it's super empowering and making younger women wanting to do that. They have this responsability and I am sick of people saying it's not also their fault, because it is. They are not the women who have no other choice but to do it. They are part of the problem.

4 - Never said, but of course I want male pr*stitution to end also. No one should have to sell themselves to survive.
