I was never really raised in that kind of world. I was raised in a family where having three kids was a lot. But then I’ve seen some Catholic families that have 8, 9, or up to 12 kids. I mean, I even dated a girl once who was one of nine. I thought having more kids was more of a forgotten art. Usually, when I think of religious people having lots of kids, I think of Muslims, hardcore Jewish groups. I mean, a lot of people nowadays aren’t even having any kids. It’s because it’s so expensive that many people can’t even afford to buy a home. I was always told that the hard-core Jewish communities live extremely simple lives and almost take vows of poverty to afford that many kids live extremely simple lives and almost take vows of poverty to afford that many kids. I mean, most of the people I see having that many kids aren't CEOs or in crazy-high-paying jobs; usually, they don’t even work, and they’re all homeschooled. I can’t comprehend how people do it. I want to have that many kids, and as weird as it sounds, I kinda don’t wanna take a vow of poverty like that. I still wanna have a decent amount of kids, but I do want to enjoy life with them and not financially struggle

I was put in charge of my local cathedral's young adult groups, which are for people 18-39. It really is a shame that many churches don't take advantage of this age group because I've seen evangelical churches spearhead this, and many people flock to those churches for things like worship nights. I've taken some inspiration from St. Joe's in NYC, but I'm still at a loss. It's hard to come up with things people in their 30s would want to do that kids in college would want to do.

It really pains me that the state of major Catholic universities is in. Having pro LGBT/choice groups on campus, celebrating Pride Month instead of the Sacred Heart, having non-Catholic professors that enforce this behavior, most students are not Catholic, and the ones that are don't practice, selling contraceptives on campus, having a party/hookup scene, and treating faithful Catholics as a disease. I used to be a long-time defender of Notre Dame. Still, I can’t do it anymore; I find myself wishing they would act like AMU, FUS, or Christendom, rather than do whatever they want and watch them for the football team. I've gotten into heated arguments with alumni about church teachings, and despite them wanting to preach “tolerance and acceptance,” that goes out the window when you bring up being a faithful Catholic. But I question why the church disregards this? Why don't we cut them off and focus more on faithful schools or demand change?

I know we can look at Jesus the apostles and the other saints going out into a world of people that would torment persecute and even martyr them, but it's hard when it's going into something that's supposed to be catholic

To me it seems to be mostly an evangelical Protestant thing. As Catholics we have many carholic universities (some more faithful then others) but they are similar to regular colleges with a religious environment and religious classes, not to mention only very few study religion full time and those are men going into the seminary to become priests. I was also told that these are extremely small uncredited schools alot of wich are run by huge pastors like Joel olstein and Kenneth Copeland, so why go to something uncredited instead of a regular state school for cheap and a degree with credit. I just don't understand it So explain it to a Catholic what a a Bible collage/ministry school is

I talked with a buddy of mine that served in the army and is going through the Chaplain process through a seminary and he was telling me how utilize they are in any other branches. they go deployments with them. They get underway on ships and sometimes they’re one of the most loved people associated with the unit. It’s almost night and day in the Coast Guard. I feel like in the Coast Guard they barely are even allowed to do their jobs religiously they do is act like social workers, which may be fine for some, but I doubt many of these guys be social workers, and all they do is act like social workers, which may be fine for some, but I doubt many of these guys wanna be social workers. majority of the fleet is probably not religious but even in the other branches non-religious people love their Chaplain it still just feels kind of weird how in the Coast Guard they really don’t do much compared to the Navy the army.

I keep seeing them everywhere in my Instagram feed. And people keep talking about how they are so traditional so orthodox and that all Catholic schools should be like the one they run and how they are so faithful, but yet they are all sedevacantist. For some reason I feel sedevacantism to slowly become more common, especially because the church by large will not embrace, traditional liturgies and sedevacantists and other schismatic groups take advantage of this

why is it always the Jesuit schools? almost every single one of these schools are Jesuit Georgetown, Gonzaga, the University of San Francisco, Boston College, College of the Holy Cross, Fordham, Fairfield University, Marquette, Xavier, Seattle University, Saint Louis University, Loyola Marymount, Santa Clara University, St. John's, Albertus Magnus College, St. Mary's College of California, Regis University, Siena Heights University, St. Thomas University and Our Lady of the Lake University.

I know a lot of people give a lot of crap to the university of call them compromised or woke but you don’t see things like this happening there and if there is something of that nature there is major pushback from student students, faculty, and alumni. I could attest to I could attest to that, like when they wanted to appoint a pro abortion Prof to a position leadership and students, faculty, priests, seminarians, alumni and several bishops were enraged by this and they dropped it

for me, I got two when we played Penn State in the playoffs almost all of my family were Penn State fans and I’m the only Notre Dame fans growing up. They always made subtle jabs about how I was the weird one being a ND fan.

The other one was in 2020 when we beat number one ranked Clemson in double overtime I remember I was a freshman in high school and just starting to take Notre Dame football seriously I remember staying up until one in the morning to watch that game

Even though it’s probably never gonna happen because EA is notorious for never doing anything to improve their games. Everywhere I look on my Instagram feed. It’s those AI-generated videos of what college football would look like if it had an open world like NBA 2K's My Player mode.

To me, it would be pretty cool, but it just seems incredibly hard, especially if it were to be done right. I mean, they would technically have to account for every single college team's campus, which would be awesome, especially for those known for beautiful campuses, like the University of Notre Dame, Stanford, or BYU. But some of these schools are absolutely massive, and how they would have to completely tailor everything around each specific university, which even for a normal game company that cares a lot is a lot of work

I'm more than a year off from my terminal date, and I'm going off to school. One of my biggest fears is that they are going to pull the rug out from under me and make me extend or even renlist. I know A school is one of them and I already had to extend an extra month for that. I was also told that C school (like BO school) would also cause that.

like many people I’m overjoyed at the amount of people that are converting over to Catholicism from other Christian denominations or even other religions entirely but there is one thing I started to notice with a lot of them and that is that they bring over a lot of bad habits from their domination that isn’t really a thing

From theological things like sola scriptula, the heresy of Americanism and charatismaticism. to other things like being anti alcahol, seeing sex (within marriage) as a shameful thing, and hating all non CCM music

I’m coming from a four-year enlistment in the United States Coast Guard, and I really wanna go back to college. I really love all the Catholic Ivy League schools, like Villanova, and especially the University of Notre Dame. It’s no secret that these schools are very selective. In high school, I was an average student. I was a state champion swimmer and a team captain. I was a varsity swimmer all four years. Was an ambassador/representative for my school, made varsity in football for 2 years, earned the Eagle Scout rank, worked in surf rescue in the summer, and finished high school with a 93.5 unweighted GPA. I remember applying to Notre Dame and being rejected; the Naval Academy was the only school I was rejected from. unfortunately, I couldn’t take any classes while I was in the military, but I still kept up academicallyunfortunately, I couldn’t take any classes while I was in the military, but I still kept up academically., not to mention, I got to do a lot of things in the military from hurricane relief to ice rescue to law enforcement and engineering. I’ve been told by many people that veterans have a much higher likelihood of being accepted into schools like this because of their maturity, Benefits to the school itself, and greater diversity. I wanna believe it’s true, but I’m still wary. I’ve had a lot of people make false promises to me. I ended up falling for them every time.

I’m at the tail end of my contract and it ends around 10 months from now. Ever since I joined, I really wanted to go off to college, I enlisted right at a high school because not only could I not afford college I just wasn’t mature enough for it at the time. I’m planning on going back full-time like a traditional student to a a pretty decent sized Catholic university. I’ve asked similar things on other military and veteran pages although it really feels like there’s a big disconnect between the Coast Coast Guard and the other branches. I’m really looking for any advice on making the transition. One of my biggest fears is at the school is definitely considered an elite university and I feel like there’s gonna be a bit of a disconnect between people whose dads have private jets and someone that worked as a deckhand for four years painting and chipping. And I know a lot of the obvious things like don’t be a bro vet that wears Oakley’s with a high and tight, a gruntstyle T-shirt, with your duty boots

i’m looking at going to the Catholic Ivy’s especially Villanova and the university of Notre Dame. I’ve been told by a lot of people that these are elitist schools where most of the schools population are filthy rich. I’m not that, I grew up pretty average and most of my adult life. I lived below the poverty line because I was in the military and all I really knew was blue collar work. i’m choosing to go back to college now at 22 because both schools will pay my tuition without using my G.I. because I live under the poverty line and I want a better life for myself I absolutely hate working blue-collar work, I’m 22 years old and I was told by many doctors I have the knees back And shoulders of a 60-year-old. I really want to go and enjoy college and I don’t wanna be one of those “ Nobody here has ever worked a day in their life” Type of people. But again, I’m really afraid of being treated as an outcast because my family does not have a private plane and I don’t know what it’s like growing up rich

it feels like this time last year and the year before by this point we had new features revealed, new music and even cover athletes. Now i can’t see anything coming for CFB 27, not even an official release date. all I see is “thing people want in 27” like fbs trams, 4 years of hs with playoffs, custom stadium nights (whiteout, stripeou, military appreciation night and senior night) and a rtg that doesn’t suck.

My girlfriend and I are preparing to go in a trip to Florida and we plan to spend alot of time on the beach, and she feels very conflicted on what is ok to wear. She wants to wear a bikini to the beach but she feels really guilty about it. she grew up in a hard core fundamentalist household where where women where never allowed to show any skin (it was almost like Islam levels of shame in that house). my family was also very catholic but more Italian/french and unless it was something that “left nothing up to the imagination“ or was unflattering it was ok. Again I really don’t know what to say and on the male side (especially the traditional side) treat it the same as Islam. her outfit isn’t even that revealing to me, it’s just a regular 2 pice
