Fornication is a sin, why should the church be teaching you safe fornication
Sex education can and should happen in churches because sex education is not synonymous with encouraging people to have sex.
A church can teach abstinence and uphold its position on premarital sex while still ensuring that its congregation is adequately informed about sexual and reproductive health.
Conversations about consent, bodily autonomy, boundaries, puberty, relationships, contraception, sexual health and making informed decisions are all part of sex education.
Withholding information doesn’t stop people from engaging in sexual activity.

Ten lepers cried out to Jesus for mercy, and all ten were healed. But only one returned to give thanks. How often do we remember God when we need His help but forget to thank Him when He answers our prayers? Never let your blessings make you forget the One who blesses you. Gratitude is also an act of faith.

The Bible has some really cool but hidden facts.
At the trial before Pilate, the crowd was offered a choice: release Jesus or release a rebel named Barabbas.
In Aramaic:
• Bar = "Son of"
• Abba = "Father"
Barabbas’s literal name is "Son of the Father."
In several early manuscripts of Matthew, his full name is even written as Jesus Barabbas.
Pilate essentially put two men before the crowd with the exact same title:
Jesus, Son of the Father (who brings life through self-sacrifice.
Jesus, Son of the Father) who brings freedom through violent rebellion.
The crowd chose the counterfeit son, while the true Son stepped onto the cross to take the sinner's place.

in Catholic theology, leaving out key details to mislead someone isn’t clever. It is a direct violation of the 8th Commandment.
Deception isn't just about what you say; it's about what you hide. If you leave out key facts knowing it will lead someone to the wrong conclusion, your intent is still to deceive (CCC 2464).

ON THIS HARVEST MATTER,
My personal submission is:
Let our harvest celebrations raise resources for building the Church, without diminishing the dignity of the people who constitute the Church.
In truth, the current system (though not a nationwide practice) must be reviewed against some very important questions:
1. Are our harvest celebrations bringing people closer to God or gradually making them uncomfortable with the Church?
2. Are we celebrating God's goodness or celebrating how much money we can raise?
3. Can a poor parishioner participate meaningfully in harvest without feeling embarrassed?
4. Have our fundraising methods become more important than the spiritual purpose for which we gather?
5. Do we give sufficient account of the resources realised from our harvest celebrations?
6. Are we building churches with money while neglecting the formation of the people who constitute the Church?
7. If a parish raises millions at harvest but fails to evangelise, catechise, care for the poor and nurture Christian communities, can we genuinely call that a successful harvest?
THERE IS A NEED FOR A REVIEW and I think we can do this by shifting a few emphases. Given the current practice, I believe we need to move from:
1. How much money can we raise? To
How faithfully can we give thanks to God?
2. Who gave the highest amount? To
How can everyone participate meaningfully?
3. Public display of financial commitments to Generosity without compulsion.
4. Financial targets as the measure of success in evangelisation, communion and pastoral impact.
5. Fundraising theatrics to Prayerful thanksgiving and responsible giving.
Catholic harvest celebrations occupy an important place in the life and development of the Church and this is an absolute truth and I am not sure anyone is calling for their cancellation. However, we cannot downplay that there is an increasing concern that the manner in which some harvest celebrations are organised is gradually undermining their spiritual significance.
Ewella, OP.

A priest is ordained to minister to via the sacraments, the Word and pastoral leadership. However, ordination is not necessarily synonymous with being a sensible person.
This is precisely why we have the theological understanding of ex opere operato:

I taught this a year ago and I was dragged on Twitter of course by People with the Scriptural knowledge of the children's church.
(I will check my IG for the video)
Mary didn't give birth to Christ. Mary gave birth to Jesus of Nazareth.
A child was born, and A SON WAS GIVEN.
Now Scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5:16 that we no longer regard Jesus in the flesh (which is Jesus of Nazareth) and Philippians 3:3 says we worship in the Spirit ( we worship Christ as the Son of God) and not as the son of Mary.
So saying Mary gave birth to a Child is limited only to Jesus who worked on Earth.
As Christians, we are not like Jesus- like right? We are Christ-like
So Jesus was born but Christ was given to us by God at the Resurrection. That is to say, the relationship Jesus of Nazareth had with Mary ended at the cross!
The resurrected Jesus is who we serve as Christians that is the one who occupied the office of Christ.
IT says a child (Jesus) was born and Christ (Son) was given
The office of The Christ was way before Mary!! John 8:58, John 1 :1, 14
And before you say, Didn't Jesus walk as God on Earth, Yes he did. But in the order of the Father
Jesus didn't operate in the office of Christ until permission was given to Him by the Father.
So Jesus didn't own the office of Christ (the seat beside God) until after resurrection.
So, yes, Mary Birth Jesus of Nazareth, but not Christ.

“To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment”
This line from Atomic Habits isn't ready to leave my head:
"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment."

In 1 Samuel 17, right after David slays Goliath, the text includes a strange detail.
“David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem.”
At the time, Jerusalem wasn't Israel's capital, it was still a Jebusite stronghold. So why carry a enemy giant's severed head to a foreign hill outside the city?
Ancient Jewish tradition holds that David buried Goliath's head right there on the hill outside Jerusalem's walls.
That hill later came to be known as Gol-Gotha, Golgotha, "The Place of the Skull."
1,000 years later, on that exact same hill, Jesus (the descendant of David) was crucified.
David buried the giant's head on the hill. Jesus crushed the head of the serpent on the exact same spot.

Catholics know this: COMMON PREFACE IV
It is truly right and just,
our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father,
almighty and eternal God.
For, although you have no need of our praise,
yet our thanksgiving is itself your gift,
since our praises add nothing to your greatness
but profit us for salvation,
through Christ our Lord.
And so, in company with the choirs of Angels.
we praise you, and with joy we proclaim:

In my church they are coronating people in the sanctuary, within the mass, all in the name of Harvest.
Why couldn’t they wait for the bazaar proper, to continue with their aliturgical activities🙄🙄🙄

Suicide is not a rational act when it is done in a state of mental illness. Thus it is not a mortal sin. Hope this helps.

Existe uma teoria, defendida por alguns grupos de cristãos, chamada: Teoria do Intervalo (Gap Theory). Ela é uma interpretação de Gênesis que explica sobre isso.
