<\/a>A disgustingly Catholic boy meets a delightfully modern, agnostic girl. They become incomprehensibly and\u00a0embarrassingly\u00a0in love, and agnostic girl wants to become Catholic. Now sentimentality speaks thus: \u201cThe girl is only converting out of love for her boy. We below need not worry, for her faith will be dependent on him, a weak and shallow faith at that.\u201d But reality speaks otherwise.<\/p>\nThe reality is that there is always two views to any human action, the apparent and the spiritual. Why Our Enemy created such an awful, incongruous joke is beyond me, but we must remember it. So yes, the apparent<\/i> view would say that the girl is only converting for her boyfriend. But the spiritual view is this: Our Enemy put that boy in the girl\u2019s life, guided him to her and her to him, and formed her love all for the purpose of ensnaring her, and bringing her closer to him. He really will sink to such depths to bring them to Him. It is an idiot who only sees the apparent view.<\/p>\n
I love idiot humans and so it\u2019s something I encourage, getting them to run around saying, \u201cOh, he\u2019s only converting because of his mother\u201d or \u201cShe\u2019s only being holy because she\u2019s on a retreat,\u201d or those delightful phrases tinged with a silly pride: \u201cThey only believe in God because they\u2019re poor, they only go to church because they\u2019re black, she only prays because she\u2019s an emotional woman\u2026\u201d Do they realize the converse, that the heathen must therefore only disbelieve in angels and demons because he is a rich, white male? Like I said, I love stupid humans. But stupid demons is entirely different matter.<\/p>\n
You are making this mistake with your man. He is scheduled to go to confession, an awful Cheat, and you don\u2019t care. From what I can understand, you are relaxed about his decision because you think it is merely sentimental, that he goes to impress his Grandmother out of his desire to feel included in his new Church. You do not believe he will confess all his sins. You are an idiot. Even if this sentimentality was your man\u2019s true reason for attending confession, do you not understand? Our Enemy will bend so low as to use even the sentimental<\/i> if it means His so-called love will fall on an open heart. So attack, attack, attack. Here\u2019s my patented Three Steps to Making a Bad Confession for your use. I no longer trust a moron like you to get anything right.<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Generalizations.<\/span>
These are delightful, and can work in all sorts of ways. The most obvious are the most boring, and rarely work. Obviously, if you can get a teenager to describe watching pornography as \u201cengaging in impure acts\u201d, excellent. But\u00a0for all their delicious sins,\u00a0most humans label such maneuvers as \u00a0\u2013 and I could be wrong, as the term makes little sense to me \u2013 \u2018bullshit\u2019. Humans like<\/i> being honest. So instead, press on to deeper generalizations. Let them forget that they live in the present, let them confess their states of being and ignore their actual actions. It is hard to say \u201cI drank last night and screamed at my kids.\u201d It is easy to say \u201cI am an alcoholic.\u201d The latter avoids a sin committed in the present moment, passing it on to some all-encompassing \u201ccondition\u201d, while the former admits guilt and is thus rid of it. So let men confess their \u201csexual addictions\u201d, and not their affairs.<\/p>\n2. Fear<\/span>
This really is the best way to ruin a Confession. There is absolutely no reason that the humans shouldn\u2019t be joyful and giddy over this disgusting Cheat. They are having everything handed to them, really! The power to live anew! I hate it. Luckily, we have a million methods to make humans focus on their own shame and guilt, on stupid things like what the priest will think of them, whether others will hear, etc. etc. All of this serves to erase the fact that Confession is pure love and forgiveness, a thing they enjoy.<\/p>\n3. Overthought<\/span>
This is perhaps the best of the three, and should be used especially if the others fail. It is also useful for the holiest of Catholics. If they are struggling to avoid generalizations and evasions, have them over-concerned about the trifles. Let them entertain the gnawing doubt that, unless they describe every gory detail of their anger or hate, they will not be forgiven. That Our Enemy\u2019s mercy hinges on accurate description. Let them spend days in the worry that they are not \u201creally, really truly sorry\u201d for their sins, and should thus not darken the confessional door. Let them, above all else, think like adults. Planned, calculated, perfectionist sinners. Do not let them got to confession like children, running to their loving Father, confident in forgiveness, weeping for joy afterwards, with gratitude on their lips. Amen, amen I say to you, unless you make them thoughtful grown-ups, they shall not enter our warm, warm embrace. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n
