Catholic Exorcist- 6 Most Dangerous Things Spiritually

[Astyanax]

I try to do the right thing but as in the Christian faith I also sin. Its really tough not to.

As far as making the world a better place is concerned, the Christian solution is very simple. I mentioned it already. Help the needy, feed the hungry, care for the sick and helpless. And use your conscience for what it's for: judging and correcting yourself, instead of using it to justify greed and cruelty to others.others.

It's not at all hard unless you simply don't don't want to do it.

No,  I have NO sins relating to the above.  Its other stuff. One thing I also dont have is a feeling of superiority, pride, lecturing others or simply being a narcissist. Nor or any of the following:

In Catholicism, the sin of feeling superior is a manifestation of pride (hubris), which is considered the most deadly or cardinal sin and the root of all other sins. This attitude is a direct contradiction of the Christian call to humility and love. 

Nature of the Sin

Pride becomes sinful when it involves a self-centered sense of superiority that goes against reality and humility. 

Inordinate Love of Self: It is an excessive belief in one's own abilities and importance, leading one to think their gifts are the result of their own efforts rather than blessings from God.

Despising Others: A key sign of this sin is looking down on, judging, or showing a lack of respect for other people, their beliefs, or their perceived moral standing.

Spiritual Pride: This is a particularly grave form of the sin, where a person might believe their religious practices, knowledge, or adherence to a specific tradition (e.g., traditionalist Catholics) makes them better than others, including fellow Catholics, Christians of other denominations, or non-believers.

Placing Self before God: It is a rebellion against God, where one seeks personal glory and approval rather than giving credit to the Lord for their accomplishments and gifts. 

Why it is Dangerous

Pride is seen as the foundation of all other vices because it enables the selfishness needed to rationalize and justify other sins like greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth. It separates a person from God, as God "opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6)

Can you guess what my primary sin is?

Disagree.

Traditional Catholics (those who pray in Latin) are not guilty of 'spiritual pride' for doing so.   This is how they choose to worship and they believe it's the correct interpretation of Catholicism.   I know 'traditional Catholics' and they do not believe that they are 'better than others'.    They just believe it's the best version of Catholicism.   And if you listen to their argument for having that position, about all the corruption in the Vatican, they make a very good case.  

(and no, I"m not a 'traditional Latin Catholic'.  I do Novus Ordo).

Well, then you DISAGREE with GOOGLE AI as thats where I cut and paste their description. To understand our world and religion is to accept that Satan has 50% control of Earth and that EVERY institution, including the Vatican has evil among them Its been that way forever. The same goes with any other religion.

 Then I disagree with an AI program.

Traditional Latin Catholics don't worship in Latin because they think they are 'better than others'.

They worship in Latin because they think it's the best way to practice the Catholic faith.   

And their argument for thinking that way is compelling.   The Vatican is corrupt and they reject
some of what the Vatican has come out with in the past 60 years.

It a shame that we haven't been able to talk about Catholicism and how the Catholic faithful have to contend with not only the produced antagonism of the media, the prejudgments of our society, and the actual areas of the Catholic religion that many of us think about... 

The proof that 'we can not' is exemplified in places where others can simply insert their baggage on the discussion... which becomes about their baggage, and not the Catholic faith. 

Perhaps a debate thread, with it's structure, can suffice to allow for an uninterrupted conversation...
but what is the question... something evoking judgment, something prodding the 'news cycle' productions out there?

At some point... a dialogue must begin... or we will only ever hear the words of those 'productions' echoed; and never our own.

Great. You're doing everything right, then.

I think you may be reading some things into my posts that aren't actually there. Perhaps you think they're in my mind anyway. You should be aware that all I know of you is what you post here, and what I can infer from it. I can't judge the whole person. What I can judge, if I'm feeling judgy, is basically an argument, a point of view and the way it's expressed. You could be St Simon Stylites for all I know, or – for practical purposes – care.

Tell you what, I'm certainly not panting to hear what your primary or besetting sin is. I just hope for your sake it's not one of the boring ones like gluttony or sloth. I recommend lust. At least it's fun for a bit.

So do I but I want the world to be a better place as you do? Right? Here's also what popped today on Google Lens. Heres her link:

I expect you're familiar with the Calvinist doctrine of election. Spiritual pride is a hydra.
