I was raised Catholic in the 1970s and 80s. I drifted away for a while, but now I'm attending services once again. I've noticed some small and mostly inconsequential changes. In the Nicaean creed where I recall "One in being with the Father..." Now I hear "Consubstantial with th…
Basically what the title says - do priests ever need therapy or some sort of counseling after hearing any confessions? I’m sure the majority of what they hear is “I told a lie” or “I cheated on my wife”, but I wonder if someone were to confess something awful, how do priests dea…
Do you think Trump has an heir apparent, or is it one of those things where no one in Washington dares talk about it for fear of reminding Trump of his mortality/term limits? I know the obvious answer is Vance, but Vance does not wield the same kind of fear and influence that Tr…
I’m really confused about this. The exact quote is: “The wife should love to remain at home, unless compelled by necessity to go out; and she should never presume to leave home without her husband's consent.” I know theres also different translations. My thing is, this kind of p…
Hello, I am 19 years old and I’m hoping to convert to Catholicism this Easter! I know it may be too soon but I am already thinking about who should be my patron saint and I’m curious on how you guys decided on who your patron saint should be. I’ve often hear that the saint picks…

I have recently started learning about Catholicism and would like to visit a church and attend Holy Mass. However, there are no Christians amongst my friends and family. I’m a little nervous about going on my own, as I don’t know what to do there. If there are people who attend…
I went to high mass on Sunday, I loved it to be honest. It was rich in beauty and tradition and I felt like I was at home. I’ve been Baptist/non denominational my whole life but I started getting into church history over a year ago and no longer want to be Protestant. That being…
I grew up reformed Presbyterian as a child but totally left religion as a teen from religion related trauma but I'm wanting to explore Catholicism. Sorry if this is not the right forum I'm not on Reddit much but I've been wanting to explore Catholicism but I don't know if this i…
Struggling recently with NFP, new marriage, and just deciding what to do. Obviously getting married we all know what comes with that. However we are both 22 fresh out of college and a kid would not put us in a great spot right now. Obviously there is never a perfect time, howeve…
I am new to the Catholic Church, about 3 months. And get married in 2 weeks Me and my soon to be wife were discussing tithing and our views on it. I know 10% is like the “normal” But coming from a very middle class family with not a ton to give, it is hard for me to see myself g…
For the past month I’ve been struggling to confess this one sin to my priest and it’s been eating away at me I’m too embarrassed to admit it to him and I honestly don’t know what to do.
