  • RCIA, STA, COCC are all Novus Ordo acronyms, so the first thing I read what what you wrote is that  you've been eating rat poison for at least 5 years. (Rat poison is 99% nutritious food, did you know that? It is the 1% that kills the rat, the 99% is there to attract it to eat.) The Novus Ordo is more like 20% poison, and more depending on your teachers.
    The second thing is that the sacraments ( the mass, communion, confession) you have been receiving may not be valid, may not be real sacraments because you have not ever been with a real priest.
    Third and most important is your life and how you have been living it. If you are attached to sin, you will never receive arrive at the narrow gate that leads to salvation. In the Novus Ordo they can teach you that you that God accepts you as a sinner as long as you are nice and support the church with donations. It does not work that way! If you are a man living with a woman, fornicating, have a Novus ordo annulment, are t attached to pornography, going to the beach to see the naked women, lusting after women, going to bars to pickup women, self abuse, use drugs, drink excessively....... or if you are a woman dressing immodestly to attract men, going to bars, having relations with men.... If you are attached to any of those sins, you are an enemy of God, and will get nowhere with all your Hail Mary's, till you get rid of your sinful ways.
    So, the answer is to cleanse yourself of all of your iniquities in confession with a real priest and do not sin again.


    You seem to have read an awful lot into their post. What I noticed is that they BURNED their copy of the CCC. That would indicate that they are at least starting to realize that the NO is not the real Church.
    "If you are attached to any of those sins, you are an enemy of God, and will get nowhere with all your Hail Mary's, till you get rid of your sinful ways."
    According to the theological manuals and writings of the Saints that I have read, prayer is what brings Grace to those of good will.
    I wonder if you are reading your own  sins into what they wrote? I would suggest prayer and good reading instead of venting your spleen on others.
    Patience is a conquering virtue. The learned say that, if it not desert you, It vanquishes what force can never reach; Why answer back at every angry speech? No, learn forbearance or, I'll tell you what, You will be taught it, whether you will or not.
    -Geoffrey Chaucer

    If one in living in sin, one is not of good will, they love sin more than God. I did not accuse the OP of sin.  
    And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: That all may be judged who have not believed the truth but have consented to iniquity. 


    Who I am and what I teach and believe is all spelled out here on CI. The writer above is new, I know nothing about him, except in his first posting that I read he directly accuses me of sin.

    I'm not exactly wet behind the ears either. Can you honestly tell me your reaction was based on what you read?

  • I must tell you that I am fading, really bad. My RCIA class is killing me I have studied STA deeply for 5 years, I burned my COCC and bought Six Catholic Catechisms Anthology,  i stopped praying the Prayer of Immaculata, the Rosary and have forsaken my love to Mother Mary in my behavior. I am not Catholic on paper. Is there pre- vat2 catechism. Where can I turn, please

  • Your first mistake is attending RCIA.

    Find a traditional priest(online or in person), attend a traditional chapel(if possible), and cut all connections to the Novus Ordo Protestant sect.
    St. Pius V, pray for us!

  • ... Holy Mary, mother of God pray for us SINNERS now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
    Among adults there are few saved because of the sins of the flesh....With exception of those who die in childhood, most men will be damned. (St. Remigius of Rheims)

    There are many who arrive at the faith, but few who are led to the heavenly kingdom. Behold how many are gathered here for today's Feast-Day; we fill the church from wall to wall. Yet who knows how FEW they are who shall be numbered in that chosen company of the elect? (Pope St. Gregory the Great)

    St. John Chrysostom, Patriarch of Constantinople, Doctor of the Church:
     
    I do not speak rashly, but as I feel and think., I do not think that many priests are saved but that those that perish are far more numerous. The reason is that the office requires a great soul. For there are many things to make a priest swerve from rectitude, and he requires great vigilance on every side. Do you not perceive how many qualities a bishop must have that he may be apt to teach; patient towards the wicked, firm and faithful in teaching the Word? How many difficulties herein. Moreover the loss of others is imputed to him. I need say no more. If but one dies without baptism, does it not entirely endanger his salvation? For the loss of one soul is so great an evil as no man can understand. If the salvation of one soul is of such importance that, for its sake, the Son of God became man and suffered so much, think of the penalty the loss of one soul will entail. (Third Homily, Acts of the Apostles)

    They who are enlightened to walk in the way of perfection, and through lukewarmness wish to tread the ordinary paths, shall be abandoned. (Bl. Angela of Foligno)
     
    They who are to be saved as Saints, and wish to be saved as imperfect souls, shall not be saved. (Pope St. Gregory the Great)
     
    St. Teresa.... had she not risen from the state of lukewarmness in which she lived, she would in the end have lost the grace of God and been damned. ( St. Alphonsus Liguori)

    If you only knew the women who will go to Hell because they did not bring into the world the children they should have given to it. ( St. John Vianney)

    You seem to be misreading what I wrote now. I do not believe, nor did I write anything saying, that to go on sinning is OK. My point is prayer obtains the Grace to stop sinning. And particularly when someone is despairing (what I assume the OP meant by "fading") Mary is the one to fly to. I defy anyone to show me where the Church teaches differently.
    I'm going to go home now and eat some dinner but will check back later if you want to continue the discussion. I sincerely wish you well LT.

    My point was spelled out clearly, and it is very simple. In short, if one plays games with God they will receive nothing from their prayers. You'll see in all those saints quotes that they are talking about Catholics who go to mass, and even priests, and yet the majority will be lost, why is that? They all do Hail Mary's, yet they are of no avail because they are not of good will
    Combine what you say and what I say and you have the answer. 
    Prayer obtains the Grace to stop sinning, if one is sincere. Scarcely any Catholics today are sincere, I doubt that 1% of baptized Catholics will be saved, if that. Read those quotes by the saints and tell me if I am mistaken.

    Keep in mind that I am talking about the "elite" of the Catholics, the so-called traditionalist in SSPX chapels, parents and their children who go to mass every Sunday while they are " living with a woman, fornicating, has a Novus ordo annulment, is attached to pornography, goes to the beach to see the naked women, lusting after women, going to bars to pickup women, practicing self abuse, using drugs, drinking excessively....... or if one is a female dressing immodestly to attract men, going to bars, having relations with men".  I have seen first hand how they do not progress in the faith even after 10 or more years. I saw it also when I was a child in the 1960's when the only mass was the Latin Mass, and everyone was doing the same, and today they have all lost the faith.

    Thank you for the further explanation LT. And for the sparring match. I enjoyed our debate.
    Sincerely E
    P.S. I'll pray an Ave for you before I go to bed tonight. Pray for me also if you would be so kind.

  • I don't think the saints had that attitude.
    Consider Maria Goretti's Mom being escorted by her daughter's rapist at her canonization.
    We must pray for our enemies and hope they are saved.
    There but for the grace of God go any of us after all.
    2 Thessalonians 1

    1 Paul, Silas and Timothy,

    To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

    2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

    5 All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marvelled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
