Pleasre read "a movie", not a "move".

I guess you don't realize that the only Catholics I know are many miles away from me, so you didn't realize that I have no women whose company I can enjoy. As for movies I do not know of any that I can watch without sin. If you do, then please be my guest and suggest.

I didn't retreat from the statement, I thought the the above quote explained it. If you realized that I know no women with whom I can commune in social matters, then you would likely not have offered this advice.

And movies. I can only think of worldly when I think of movies. Although lately I'm afraid I've been spending too much time watching animal docuмentaries on YouTube (they nearly always end up using the EVO!@^#%$ word, at which point I either mute it or turn it off in disgust).

These are the reasons I said worldly. So we had a miscommunication, perhaps.

My recreation is quite enjoyable, as a matter of fact. Today for example, I Got the jump rope out for the first time in about 5 months, hit a new PR in two lifts (dumbbell clean and jerk, kettlebell snatch), and I *almost almost beat a tough level in Neverball.

As for grace building on nature, yes I agree. I used to get drunk and smoke pot, but now I eat healthy and exercise. I started that some years ago, and I believe that (once I got away from my often vain reasons for doing so initially, and desired to and did become more humble and modest as time went on) this disposed me for grace, which I was more likely to accept since I had forsaken many of my past sins.

Man, it's hard being alone up here you know. My parents won't even talk to me. I love them so much but they can't face the tough questions. They want to be right so badly, that they completely avoid the discussion.

You know their arguments against sede vacante have come straight from This Rock's 'White smoke valid pope'? O what a world! The article even says a heretic can be pope!

Saying "There are no women close enough with whom I could dine" is a totally different thing than saying "Dining with a woman is worldly" (especially as you were clearly using the term in a negative, pejorative sense).

Saying that "taking a walk in the woods" is worldly is obviously a bit over the top.

Yes, we had a "failure to communicate", which is not surprising, but you still ignore that you DID call innocent pleasures "worldly". That said, I shall not mention it again.

That YOU cannot think of anything but "worldly" when you think of movies is fair enough. Just pay attention to the fact that it is YOUR VIEW that you are sharing. As there is nothing intrinsically worldly or evil about film, it is fair to say your view of things might be a little dark. You cannot just ignore the fact that the animal films mention evolution?

Believe me, I know things are hard at this time, perhaps especially so in your situation. Why else would you spend so much time on the net every day? I just do so during quiet hours at work. My present job has more quiet time than most, thus I am here so often.

Hang in there, mate. This mess is going to be resolved sooner than many think. 2012, anyone? :wink:
