Catholic Wafer Addiction and Porn -
06-27-2018, 07:30 AM
This indeed is a sad tale of a young man seeking Jesus and haphazardly wanders into a cathylick church. There are probably thousands of such cases, but this is one where he chose to write an essay about it and so we hear about it.
Full of sin and seeking redemption through Jesus, what he doesn't realize is that you're not talking to Jesus through that wafer - but Satan himself, and that's why it "feels" so good along with the sin of porn and Onanism.
We should all pray that this young man frees himself while there is still time.
Quote:
I wanted to become a Catholic. But first I had to give up the Eucharist—and porn.
Jacob Turnrose
June 25, 2018
At the start of the fall semester of my senior year of college, I was receiving the Eucharist every day. The problem was, I was not Catholic. I had begun attending daily Mass four months before, drawn less by the Catholic faith than by the soothing regularity of the liturgy. Whenever the host was administered, I went up with the rest of the parish and received it without a second thought. I did not think there was a difference between Protestant communion and the Catholic Eucharist other than that one was administered more frequently than the other.
But by September, I could no longer plead ignorance. I had begun to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and was learning about church doctrine and the theology of the sacraments, including how the Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life.” I also learned that people were not supposed to take the Eucharist unless they had received first Communion. How could I live with this contradiction: breaking the rules of the very church I wanted to join?
Around that time, I posed the question in my journal: “Maybe I should stop taking the Eucharist until I’m confirmed, but could I bear that?” I had developed a burning desire for the body and blood of Christ. And when I went to Mass, that was the only thing that mattered: fulfilling this personal desire to commune with God through the Blessed Sacrament.
But by fulfilling this desire, I was isolating myself from others. By continuing to receive Communion I was taking myself out of the adult initiation process and creating division between myself and the other catechumens and candidates, who were patiently waiting for their first Communion. I was also distancing myself from the greater Catholic community by ignoring the stages that the church in her wisdom has laid out for catechumens and candidates prior to full reception into the church. But the thought of waiting for the Eucharist seemed too much to bear. My faith was growing, yes, but it was also becoming increasingly individualistic.
There was another problem. In addition to my daily Eucharist habit, I was watching pornography nearly every other day.

Clearly catholicism and its bizarre rituals create a spiritual vacuum for the porn to fill. How long before this wretched youth starts wanting to make it? Satan is very active in the false "church" of Rome which never had anything to do with Jesus. They just grafted Him on to whatever they'd been running with for the previous thousand years; no wonder it doesn't make sense! Then they translated it all into Latin and effectively shut down education (yes, Justinian, I'm looking at you) belching out schisms and extending Romish heresy wherever possible.
And now they've introduced evolution, how long before we're treated to popish toga parties where anything goes and these days a hand held device could capture the lot! I'm starting to feel sick just thinking about it.

Our lost soul has, maybe, gone too far for mortal help. He expresses his addiction of pomp and ritual as did the Pharisees and Sadducees:
M't:23:1: Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to hisdisciples,
M't:23:2: Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
M't:23:3: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
M't:23:4: For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
M't:23:5: But all their works they do for to be seen of men:they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
M't:23:6: And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
M't:23:7: And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
As opposed to the personal silent prayer to God favored bywe Independent Baptists:
M't:6:6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
The bells, smells, and theatrics of Catholicism attract women and the effeminate - this is no religion, it is a cheap, camp sideshow with no regard for the Almighty at all. Small wonder that Hellywood chooses Catholic priests for inaccurate horror movies about demons.
And look at the spirituality of the writer

Are there really such people in the USA? Has our understanding of Christianity sunk so low as to render the lie of transubstantiation to be unknown?
If someone could get details of this misguided and deluded character, I will invite him to a service by our own Pastor Zeke in one of the three main sanctuaries of Landover Church where, among 5,000 other True Christians deeply possessed of the Spirit, he may see what quiet worship of God is all about.

This person needs to be surrounded by the True Christians™ at Landover Baptist.
It's one thing to hear someone read the rules of a faith to you. You hear it but don't really internalize what it is saying.
Better to be surrounded by Christians who tell you straight what you sins are. That is what we at Landover Baptist are good at. It's almost as if we can smell sin a mile away.
This person needs to be set straight about his eternity. He could die any day and be in hell forever.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

Imagine getting off on receiving communion. Like it's some kind of drug? The essayist is, at least, correct about one thing. He definitely did need to let go of his attachment to this weird corruption of proper Baptist ritual.

It's pretty much a chicken/egg turnout: which came first? The phrasing "in addition" is vague.
The Bible is always clear; and consistent.
Were the demons of catholicism active during "middle school" [PER LINKED REFERENCE] suggesting at the time “Now wouldn't some stale wine drizzled in your mouth by a Romish priest be the thing? And a magic wafer..” or whatever they call it “..imagine what he smells like, he could be standing there in front of you..” sound effects from this Jacob character throughout “..tilting his goblet, muttering, reeking of artichokes.” Was he undone? Or did the catholicism come later? The article avoids this topic which surely is a salient absence.
Is that an o xymoron? I'll leave it in. Never bothered a papist! Perhaps someone delivered from the cult of Rome could fill me in.
