God exists, Jesus is Lord, Catholicism is true

I plan to get around to answering Heloise’s apostasy thread point by point, but for now I’ll just say this isn’t surprising: Obstinate transgenderism aside, he has been blown hither and thither by the wind, changing his core convictions several times within an incredibly short time frame (Deist, Protestant, Catholic, maybe something else, and now this). He does not know *fundamentally* why he believes what he believes; he has no principles. This isn’t normal. Given precedence, he will probably change his mind again. This isn’t a personal attack; I have no hard feelings. I will pray for Heloise. But I am wishing to make a point that each one of us needs to know why we ultimately believe what we believe: Every worldview will have objections to it, and you need to know what’s at the *root* of truth, notwithstanding your potential perceptions every now and then of “strange fruits” on the tree.

“I’m struggling with my faith.” This isn’t directed at anyone in specific, but most of the time to fix this, you need to get off your ass, stop doomscrolling 13 hours a day, receive the sacraments, actually do something relevant to your faith, and stop treating it like it’s an Internet hobby, If you have trained yourself to treat your faith like some cool idea that gets shelved until it’s dusted off to be argued about on social media, you will lose it. Your faith is a gift from God; it’s not fun and games. By his grace, you need to protect it and nourish it. If you are consumed by lust and laziness and sloth and gluttony etc. and your faith just sits there stagnant, you do not stand a chance: Your “Catholic arc” is coming to an end.

St. James actually says works informed by grace are necessary for salvation and Catholics agree with that
