>>9635949>>9635953>>9635954Guys. I don’t know what to tell you. This is what happened. You can’t speak for this particular priest. I’ve seen him do many questionable things.
She can’t be absolved, she can’t be in a state of grace and she can’t take communion.
Why would I lie about this. It’s a major point of contention in our relationship that drives me crazy. And really, if a priest can’t withhold it..what’s the difference between a catholic and prot other than asking a mortal man for absolution. If he gives it unconditionally every week, no matter what.. does it not negate the whole point?
I sense a lot of hostility in the replies and honestly it’s the hostility I feel when I ask questions irl. I’ve had so many discussions and it always ends badly. I’m just telling you what I’ve seen and been told.
As for the incest. I’ve seen with my own eyes cousins hooking up because they only hang around each other. My girlfriends circle alone, there are over 200 1st-2nd cousins. Her ‘first love’ was a 2nd cousin. When I found that out it almost made me throw up. Then I found out her brother(s) molested her from the age of 5-14. All her friends and sisters share similar stories. It’s sickening.
>>9635950True. What did I mean? It doesn’t matter what side, people wouldn’t recognize our countries anymore and wouldn’t have fought for them either. Protestants and Catholics alike. It’s all a joke. And frankly it’s these institutions that let it happen.
