Catholics are weird.

[WriterDom]

But fun people. A few years ago I met a Catholic girl. Things weren't that serious, but I did look into converting. Since I was baptized, to convert, I'd have to confess all my sins since my baptism. If I hadn't been baptized, I could have joined right away. Thank Goodness. Masturbation alone would have take up a few weeks.

Confession can be very sexy, I think The priests used to fight over who would hear mine but I do not know why, of course

SHIT! Catholics who live and die by the Catholic churches words, and "laws" are even weirder. As a Catholic person myself, I think I'm allowed to say that. Hell, I take that back, they aren't weird, their FUCKED IN THE HEAD! (Well, some of them are anyway.)

 

[seXieleXie]

as a reformed catholic school girl i can tell you catholics are beyond weird

i was always in trouble. *sigh* many a hour wasted away in detention, writing lines.

Can I hear you confesions?

Wait a minute, so if I convert to Catholicism, I have to confess all my sins since I was baptized in a Baptist church (well it wasn't in the church, it was the creek) at the age of 8.


The priest would fall asleep from the length and boring list of my sins.

hehe... you really have no idea. i couldn't do anything right as far as the nuns were concerned. i was much better off in public school

I was raised a Catholic for the first 8 years of my life and had my First Communion. When my Dad died and Mum couldn't cope we were sent to our Grandparents who were strict Baptist Charismatics. Now they were a little far out. Out went the rosary and in came the incessant praying for our souls.
I am not bitter. When I grew up I knew that what was most important to me about religion and God, was what I thought. Not what was forced upon me.

Nuns! Do not talk to me of them in school. They would hit me on my knuckles French catholics are worse, I think

 

[pabloback]

the catholic religion is great
you can do anything you like
as long as you feel guilty afterwards

Hey! I Resemble that Remark!...

I'd be in confession forever! Thank God I'm not Catholic.

I'm catholic BUT

haven't had my holy communion(i think that's where u confess all your many sins if i'm not mistaken????)my gramma who must have went 2 church like 10 times a day between 2hrs of praying time was disappointed that i never bothered 2 get my communion since she's deceased i kinda feel obligated.....I make it a point never 2 attend church other than for weddings and funerals but my family is getting on my case saying "u must take your kid 2 church"
p.s I wonder if the catholic faith thinks of me as catholic even though I haven't had my communion????

Been there, done that. The FIRST confession was when I was 24...I had racked up a ton o' sins by then. All they wanted to hear was a general...yes, I have been bad in the eyes of the church and I promise to try to be better. They definitely do NOT want to hear the details!

Hell NO!!! Nice try tho, wolfboy...

 

[p_p_man]

The Catholic Church is well into mind control...

If they just gave up trying to spread the word of God by conventional means and wrote a few decent porn stories based on what they do anyway, I think they'd see a sharp increase in the size of their congregations...

before you get your first communion you get your first confession, but they aren't the same thing. heathen.

and as far as i know, once you're baptised, you're in.

Most American Catholics I know are "cafeteria" Catholics. They pick and choose which rules of the church they're going to adhere to. Most use birth control and I don't know any who wouldn't get a divorce in a eyeblink if they really wanted one.

On the other hand, most (but not all) are against abortions and most who get a divorce will also seek an annulment (a very odd Catholic loophole) so they can continue to go to Communion or get remarried in the church.

It's a very strange thing. Weird indeed. I'm not the pick and choose type and found all the contradictions unacceptable so I simply left the church (to my poor mother's great distress).

Sorry, Mom. I truly am. But you raised me to think, didn't you?


(Oh, by the way. Avery Chisholm, Communion and Confession are two separate sacraments.)

 

[WriterDom]

I'm sure a sizable contribution to the parish would cut down the confession time considerably

I was talking to a friend several months ago and we were discussing religion. I said then that I couldn't be Catholic because there was no way I would be able to confess all my sins to someone else. Smart ass started listing things he thought I should confess for and I was blushing just thinking about it.


Nope, if I gotta confess my thoughts, not gonna do it. I'll stay Southern Baptist. You don't have to confess to anybody but God and he knows all about it anyway.
