/lit/ - Literature

I'm back again.
I came five times to Pokemon porn.

I am currently not but I want to apply to the Institute of Christ the king sovereign priest. But I would honestly love to do missionary work someday.

I really like pipes and cigars too though.

>>12546387
They don’t use tobacco because it’s an expensive habit. Same with alchohol except for communion wine.

I looked at the theological arguments for Catholicism and vowed to follow the churches teachings.

I don’t think any morality can come from science since all morality is philosophical and metaphysical in nature.

Gay people are able to be saved but must follow the same rules that apply to everyone in terms of sex and stuff. We all sin and fall short of the glory of god but can obtain salvation.

>>12546240
Eh, i still grew up in the country and find that stuff funny, but yeah I should do better.

All I’m saying is that you can use your suffering to increase your spiritual wealth. Of course I believe that extremely rich people should give a lot to the poor since they are so bounteous but I can’t force them too and can’t support taking the money from them as if it were on loan from me.

711 is run by people from India, it was my poor attempt at humor.

>>12546218
Be nice. we shouldn’t speak to our brothers and sisters that way.

>>12546216
Yes they should, blessed are the poor in spirit.

I’m the end all you are doing is covetting your neighbors possessions and stealing them.

It was a strictly Roman Catholic monastery, no other religions were allowed. I have no specific thoughts on Hinduism but I get a craving for a slim Jim and icee every time I think about it.

>>12546181
Well then maybe someone is writing a story about a monk and needs to know what it’s like, but yeah I skimmed the /lit/ summary at the top of the page and thought it said it allowed this stuff, I also saw stuff about debating Catholicism so I thought this was a good page.

Marxism and Christianity can’t mix no matter how you try. Liberation theology is honestly cancer. Being less stern with gays in the church is what led to the abuse scandal we have now, so I think if anything we should be more strict with them.

People seem to like the topic, you can always leave the thread if you don’t want to read about it :)

>>12546120
We got occasional news updates from the monks that carried phones, mostly just them telling us about disasters that occurred and to pray for the victims.

>>12546104
That’s how I felt honestly, plus it’s a cool story to have.

>>12546080
I’m less concerned with a persons race than I am with their soul. People are evil and will often push pornography no matter what race they are, grow up and quit acting like it’s an issue of race when it’s really an illness of the soul.

I spoke with the novice director(who was also the prior) about how I felt and he said that there was no point in keeping someone that was miserable in the life. I was wanting to complete a year to really get a feel for things but I submitted to his judgement. They helped arrange a bus ride home and helped me call my parents for a pickup.

>>12546075
I actually call the prior and sub prior every once in a while to keep in touch. I also sent letters and cookies last Christmas. I’ve been reading the scriptures since I left but honestly I haven’t been doing as much reading as I should be. At the monastery you read whatever is assigned by the novice director.

/lit/ is also for discussing religion

>>12546060
Any blasphemous heretics and heathens are servants of satan

>>12546039
It actually sucks because some places had so many issues they had to enforce a “no touching” rule where you couldn’t even hug your brothers in Christ for fear of butt pirates.

Is it called apu when Pepe is retarded? And sure, as long as he didn’t have too many special needs he would be fine. I’d argue that people with autism or assburgers would be pretty fitted for monastic life. Down syndrome would be a no from me tho if it was too advanced.
