I'm glad you brought up kirby, because as a fellow Catholic I have always wondered something. Kirby is an alien who has the ability to gain the "powers" of whatever he consumes. If the Pope is correct in his assertion that aliens could take Communion, my question is as follows: If Kirby was a baptized, believing Catholic who took communion, would the process of transubstantiation give Kirby the powers of Jesus Christ?
Hello Small Business Owner,
When we partake in the Eucharist, the priest says a silent prayer along the lines of “may the Body keep me safe and eternal.” And there is another point where everyone says, “I am not worthy to receive you but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” The point of Mass is to literally give thanks have gratitude and receive spiritual healing. It’s not like a video game buff or recipe where if someone does x then y happens. But for you, I’ll humor the question.
In this situation Kirby’s birth would have been forordained and his powers are a gift from God. Kirby would also need to be fit to receive communion by being in a state of grace and fasting at least one hour before Mass.
We can conclude that Kirby would have the same gifts Jesus gave to his apostles (power to heal, power to forgive sins, power to walk on water with Him etc) but would exclude powers they were not given that Jesus has. In conclusion: Kirby would become a priest. But like, in a speed run.

I don’t feel God any more
Tumblr media
“I don’t feel God any more…”
It may not start like this. But this is at the heart of countless conversations I’ve had with people about God. And their relationship with God.
I’m humbled by their trust. And I’m impressed by the courage that it takes to talk about it with somebody in a clergy collar.
For most of us, a moment like this comes from two places – kind of at the same time. Something traumatic. Whether it happened to us or we did it doesn’t make much difference. Plus our feelings about it.
Fueled by our memories of whatever it was, if we’re not careful (and sometimes even if we are) our feelings can grow until they come between us and others. Blocking our connections with others. Making us feel cut off from even our closest relationships. Including God.
When this happens to us, we need two things. Help dealing with whatever is at the source of our feelings that are cutting us off. And assurance that no permanent damage has been done. That someone is still there for us.
Which is why today’s Gospel is so important. No one who comes to God can be separated from God. Even by the worst things in life. Whether it happened to us. Or we did it ourselves.
As Jesus puts it, “No one can take them out of my hand.”
And that includes us. We can’t do it either. Which means that our relationship with God doesn’t depend on how we feel.
God loves us too much to let the worst things in life – or our feelings about them – get in the way.
If you think about it, this shouldn’t surprise us. Because the best relationships in our lives are like that.
As with real friends, healthy marriages, there’s more there than just feelings.
Why would it be any different with God? I mean, where do you think we got it from?
If this is where you find yourself (and we all do at one point or another, if we’re honest), don’t try to go it alone. And don’t beat yourself up.
Get the help you need. And know that God will always be there for you.
No matter how you feel.

Really wish tumblr had a "people are appropriating and misusing elements of my faith and that is offensive" option for reporting posts...
