Goodbye Please Pray For Me

  • Im asking for your prayers, this is gonna be my last post in the near future.

    I just got into a terrible fight with my novus ordo family. I came off sounding extremely uncharitable. I asked my parents if they believed contraception and sins of impurity were mortal sins...they said no so I yelled at them calling them heretics. Then I asked them if the novus ordo priest who married them talked to them about contraception, they said no, and I said well he is a heretic. Then I told my brother if he gets married in a novus ordo I am not going, and he said he never wants to talk to me again. Then I told my grandma who has cancer that I might not go to her funeral if its novus ordo. I came off sounding terrible, really pridefull. I live with my parents and brother with no real job, so I have to stick it out in the future. I also want to apologize for making posts insinuating Pius XII was an antipope, and also introducing material that calls all the popes since Leo XIII antipopes- that is crazy and I pray to God that I didn't scandalize anybody. NFP and BOD and MHFM have caused me extreme anxiety, and I need to focus on my own spiritual soul rather than these issues. Please pray for my humility and spiritual perservearance and the conversion of my novus ordo family.

  • The place you're at is a common one. You jump into the Trad world and within a few months think you know everything there is to know, but find that you've left charity and perhaps other pieces out of the equation. There's plenty of hope for you, though, as there are others here who've gone through similar cycles.

    Might I suggest you exchange contact info with one or more of them? (Vladimir comes to mind, but there are others.) We could all use a little support in this world, especially from those who've traveled similar paths.

    Prayers for you and your family.

  •   Don't make such a fuss please!
    You are not the only convert in this world. What would you do if you had to convert from another religion?
      You just had a fight with your family and fights are things that commonly happen to all, yet it always looks abnormal if they happen because of one's faith.
      What you do if you were rejected by your family?
    I want to use this opportunity to tell you story of a guy who being rejected by his parents and despairing of his life called and asked me to pray to God to take his from this world. He was wishing death for himself and couldn't be consoled. Think of hm and people like him and you will find strength to pass through hard times.

  • It's important to remember to always speak the Truth in a loving way. You look at me, one half of my family is Catholic (Novus Ordo) and the other half is Protestant (and most of my Protestant family members are anti-Catholic). My mother and I are the only Traditional Catholics in my family. When debating with my family, I must remember to be as charitable as possible. And the Dimond Brothers do tend to be a bit uncharitable, so if that's causing you to be the same way then perhaps you should stop reading their site for a while.

    I'll keep you in my prayers. I hope you return one day.

    God Bless.
    Please ignore ALL of my posts. I was naive during my time posting on this forum and didn’t know any better. I retract and deeply regret any and all uncharitable or erroneous statements I ever made here.

  • CuriousCatholic,
    I've asked this before so pardon my question again, particularly if you've already answered it, but do you have a priest that you can talk to?  When going through the trials that you discuss here, it can be very helpful to have a priest to help you and I would even venture to say that it may be crucial.      

    Please seek a good priest's counsel and tell him everything that you have told us.  Go to confession and also seek his counsel both inside and outside of the confessional.  Keep in close contact with him.  Ask him how often he recommends that you go to confession and then follow his counsel.  

    I would like to say that you should exist peacefully with your family and show them that you are learning and growing in charity, but I'm sure that a good priest can help you to figure out how to do that and even what to say to your family.  You may be able to influence your family much more by your example than your words.  

    Since you are living with your family and don't have a job, it seems that the obvious path to take with them is to coexist peacefully.  Apologies may be the best path and if so I'm sure your priest can help you to know how to word such apologies.  

    Please continue to pray your daily Rosary and your 3 Hail Marys EVERY morning and EVERY night for the grace to avoid all sin and for perseverance.  Your Blessed Mother will never abandon you.  NEVER go to bed without at least praying your 3 Hail Marys, no matter what!    

    You have many friends here who will be praying for you!   :pray:

    God bless and keep you!

    In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
    ora pro me
