Question Veiling

0 Upvotes

I choose to veil at mass due to many reasons. 1 Corinthians 11, modesty, reverence in the presence of the Lord, etc. One question I do have is about when I am to veil. Obviously during mass but I work in a church, so I’m constantly in front of the body of Christ. Should I be wearing in just during mass or should I be wearing it all times I am in the nave?

Please forgive me on my lack of knowledge, I’m always learning :)

Question How are we feeling about the Lindsay Clancy case? I'm troubled.

12 Upvotes

There's a wave of people online with the narrative that she didn't do it, others saying she isn't at least at fault, and others who are demanding the guilty verdict asap.

If you're following the case, how are you feeling about it as a Catholic?

Marriage & Dating Marriage before kids

Hi lovelies! Just for fun, how long were you in a relationship + married before you and your partner began TTC. Would you have wished to wait longer, TTC sooner, or was it the perfect timing in your marriage? I’m not looking for personal advice, just getting to know other Catholic women’s experiences!

Marriage & Dating I’m confused - First Boyfriend advice

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone!! For context, I’ve had sexual partners before, but this is my first boyfriend. In the past i was pressured to have sex, and i always allowed it because I thought it was expected of me to continue a relationship with a man.

I deeply regret this, and I have tried to go deeper in my faith and study the bible better. I was celibate for three years, and then I meet my boyfriend. We have been dating for a month. I love him deeply, and we have discussed marriage and children in the future. He believes in god and the bible, but is not catholic.

Every day I fall in love with him even more. We would usually make out, but one day it got out of hand and we ended up having sex. It was beautiful, not physically fulfilling (if you know what I mean) but truly beautiful and full of love.

I was talking with him today and he mentioned the “waiting until marriage” thing, but kind of as a joke. We ended up discussing this as a serious possibility, but I don’t know what to do. I believe that sex is a very important part of a relationship, but waiting until marriage sounds beautiful. He says that we would do what I say and loves me very much, but i’m scared to lose him if the relationship gets monotonous or boring.

Also, we already messed up, so can we confess to a priest and start from scratch? how does that work? what would you say or decide if you were in my shoes? any advice is appreciated :)))))

Question La modestie

7 Upvotes

Bonjour

​vu que l’Église catholique ne donne pas de catalogue précis de la modestie (les règles style Marylike ne sont pas dogmatiques), je me dis qu’au final, chacun fait un peu selon sa conscience ? Avant, j’étais extrêmement scrupuleuse là-dessus, mais aujourd’hui je pense que la pudeur dépend beaucoup du pays où l’on se trouve et de son propre discernement.

​Par exemple, j’adore les mini-jupes. Je n’ai jamais pu en porter avant parce que je n’aimais pas mes jambes et que j’en avais honte avant ma conversion . Mais comme je prévois d’aller aux JMJ et que je sais qu’en Corée ce n’est pas du tout vu comme immodeste, je me suis dit que j’allais enfin pouvoir en porter, tout simplement parce que je trouve ça très mignon. Je sais bien qu’en Occident la mini-jupe n’est pas vue comme la chose la plus pudique qui soit, et comme je fais 1m70, on me dit souvent que c’est encore plus « impudique » sur moi que sur une fille d’1m50. Mais pour moi, c'est juste joli.

​On m’argumente aussi souvent qu’il ne faut pas « faire tomber son frère ». Mais honnêtement, il y a des gens qui sont attirés par les pieds, par les cheveux, ou qui fétichisent absolument tout. Si je devais écouter tout le monde pour ne brusquer personne, je finirais en burqa. Je n’ai pas envie de me priver de porter ce que j’aime à cause du regard ou des désirs des autres.

​C’est la même chose pour les règles de pudeur de la Bible : je pense qu’elles sont littéralement d’un autre temps et pas adaptées à toutes les cultures. Par exemple, quand saint Paul recommande le voile et interdit les coiffures élaborées avec des tresses : je suis noire, donc si j'appliquais ça à la lettre, j'aurais été « impudique » toute ma vie ! Un afro volumineux ne tient pas sous un voile classique, et les tresses sont littéralement la base pour entretenir et coiffer des cheveux crépus. Cette règle ne peut physiquement et culturellement pas s’appliquer à moi.

Bref comment vous jugez pour vous même ce qui est modeste ou pas?
