He seems truly concerned about his brother, let's do our best to help him here.

Quote from: FirstAid

My parents did speak to the priest and the headmaster of the SSPX school I attended. The headmaster told them that he did not send anyone into have conversations to try and trick me into saying I was no longer Catholic or to try and record the conversations on a phone. The other priest said that the reason they did a room search was because the questions that I was asking were too "out of my depth" but they seemed quite happy after they spoke to him too. I did hide a Richard Dawkins book in my room whilst I was at the school. I felt I had the right to read the other side of the story in order to have a balanced point of view.

So your parents spoke to the school when you told them your felt mistreated by the teacher, and the headmaster played it down?

I think that the headmaster is excellent he is logical and relaxed but the housemaster can be uptight and if you get on the wrong side of him he is really awful to be around.

...he gets flustered if he cannot answer questions. He can be quite intimidating. I am worried that if my brothers get onto the wrong side of him or if they ask questions that offend him in some way, they will not be treated fairly.

You are 19? Where do you live? Have you finished high school?

FirstAid · « **Reply #35 on:** July 14, 2013, 03:55:46 PM »

I was two years behind in my general education. So yes 19 and a bit behind

How much do you have left to get your high school diploma? What kind of grades are you making? Where are you going to school? What are your current living arrangements?

As Catholics, we should never read books by athesist authors. Read books about the saints and the Catholic Church. Read your bible. But stAy away from bad liberal literature that offends God

I second that. Reading Atheist authors is a way to lose your faith. I can't believe Popes Pius the X, XI, or XII would have agreed with that.

Napoli,

My post was merely about numbers. The difference is clear to see.

The novus ordites who attend "mass" are all at a man-centered worship "experience" to either be seen or to hang out with other "friendly" people. Visit a novus ordo church on a Sunday morning, not to participate, but just to see all the vacant looks in people's eyes. They are so disconnected from Catholicism they wouldn't have a clue.

Notice after the service how everyone leaves at exactly the same time. It doesn't occur to any of them that there should be post-mass prayers.

The novus ordo is a spiritual wasteland.

Sometimes there are one or two people who will stay and pray after a novus ordo Mass, sometimes even a woman who covers her head. Occasionally there is someone in a novus ordo parish who goes to Confession before receiving Communion, and who prays the Rosary. But such people are very rare, a small percentage of the parish. Certainly the large majority are boiled frogs.

Atheists have nothing of substance to say, and if one is properly instructed, reading atheist authors will only serve to strengthen one's faith. Ask them sometime, "Why is there something as opposed to nothing?", or, "Did your neurons make you 'do that'?" If they are "still standing," start peppering them with the many miracles of the Catholic Faith from the Gospels onward, and if they remain unconvinced, at least you won't be.

You want to balance Our Lord and His Precious Blood on one side with the atheist fad of the moment on the other?

Is this so that YOU can make up your mind? Using your very own reason?

FirstAid, you can't find God without God. Our Lord will only show Himself to you if you are worthy or if you have had some real super saints in your family tree who are praying for your soul right now.

Well, when I was in school, I had the Satanic Bible in my locker just to get a "balanced point of view."

LISTEN TO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING! You're a teenager, and you really have no idea what you're doing. How old are you, 15? I don't know man. The Church put out a forbidden book list back when Rome was Catholic, to stop people from losing their Faith over BAD BOOKS. Not because they wanted to stop you from getting a "balanced point of view," but because they cared about your ETERNAL SOUL, which could be lost by absorbing and God forbid, accepting, such tripe!

BURN that scuмbag Richard Dawkins book, and never pick up another one.

My grades are C in every subject. I am 19 and have another 2 years of school to go. My last school pulled me down 2 years. My parents would like me to do a trade apprenticeship. I would like to try for a university degree.
I live with my grandmother. I ran away from home in the summer. She agrees with me about leaving home.

If your grades are all C I would take your parent's advice and go into the trades. Unless you get a decent degree you are likely to simply make yourself overqualified and underemployed like many people with toilet roll "university" degrees.

If indeed you pass at all. Which, with C average grades, you are far from certain to do.

Go to North Dakota and get yourself a job in the oil and gas field, start at the bottom and work your butt off. By 23 you will have some useful skills and experience which mean a lot more than any higher education. Play your cards right and at 30 your could have a desk job "consulting" or inspecting for safety.
