#personal #sacrament of marriage

[wazzi2ya]

After some time of dating, when Husk and Angel decide to get married (by Lucifer, as the closest thing to "holy" authority in Hell), the moment they exchange rings they can each feel the chains of their deals pulling and then breaking, freeing them from their contracts since, once married, their souls belong to each other.

(add on: inspired by this)

#hazbin hotel #huskerdust #hazbin hotel angel dust #hazbin hotel husk #angelhusk #if we consider a timeline where they still haven't been freed of their contracts #btw who married lucifer and lilith? or did he do it himself. can he do that? lmao #marriage is still a christian sacrament so i imagine even in hell it hold more weight than a demonic contract #and i mean sinners can get married right? like is travis' wife from his time alive or did he marry down there #or does earth marriage end with death. 'till death do us part' and all #*Alastor frantically looking or someone to qpr marry him* #edit to add the piece of art that gave me the idea #go look at it <3

It actually makes perfect sense that Ozzie is into consent. He‘s a demon, after all.

Let me explain.

If you think about it, there aren‘t actually many stories of either demons or fairies or any other kind of trickster ever forcing humans into anything.

They are going to fuck you over, sure, but they usually let YOU make a mistake first.

They bargain, goad you on, trick you.

The devil builds a bridge, he doesn‘t just abduct your firstborn. The fairies put food in front of you, they don‘t force you to eat. Succubi feed off your sexual energy, they don‘t magically make you horny.

Sin/transgression/damnation has to be a choice to mean anything.

See also: Nearly every horror movie ever. If that kid hadn‘t gone into the creepy attic (literal transgression), he wouldn‘t be possessed. If the camp counsellors hadn‘t been either fucking or pranking people, they wouldn‘t be getting axed.

The snake couldn‘t just shove the apple into Eve‘s mouth while she was sleeping, either.

Of course a demon would be interested in having consent on all sides. That‘s more people sinning, after all.

(And for the few weirdos who use Raphael from bg3 as an example of how evil a real demon should be… What is his big thing again…? Starts with c, ends with ontracts…?)

#and we‘ll not even talk about how marriage only really became a sacrament around 1500 bc for the church every kind of sex was sin #and the fact we had to have sex to make more humans was one of the greatest calamities of human existence #even enjoying having sex with your spouse absolutely used to be a sin #seriously you guys should read some of the church fathers they‘re a riot #helluva boss #helluva boss asmodeus #helluva boss ozzie

"I am married" means that I cannot live a single day, even a few moments, without the companion of my life. My husband, my wife, is a part of my being, of my flesh, of my soul. He or she complements me. He or she is the thought of my mind. He or she is the reason for which my heart beats.

Pope Francis has taken one of the most concrete steps in his efforts to make the Roman Catholic Church more welcoming to L.G.B.T.Q. Catholics by allowing priests to bless couples in same-sex relationships, the Vatican announced on Monday.

#OK francis!! #gift link #speaking as a non-roman catholic my proposal is to remove marriage as a sacrament entirely #but that's for another post

An interesting Gospel today, on marriage. Now I know most of this Gospel well (“male and female he created them”, “what God has put together man must not separate”) but I hadn’t heard what happens after the teaching on divorce.

Jesus’s disciples respond in a very modern way, which is kind of funny in a depressing way: “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

Yeah, who wants the burden of a covenant with God being actually, you know, binding? Shock and horror!

(Side note, but when Jesus says that Moses allowed divorce because of the hardness of people’s hearts, He’s referring to the fact that men would have their wives killed to get around the “‘til death do us part” thing. Yeah.)

And Jesus looks at them and says this: “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

This is a fascinating statement, and one I haven’t heard before! Jesus acknowledges that marriage isn’t for everyone, that not everyone is capable of that sort of commitment. But here’s the crucial part: this doesn’t excuse them from the binding nature of marriage. His phrasing makes that clear, from “some are incapable of marriage” to “renounced marriage”.

So what do you do if you’re not cut out for that kind of commitment? Simple really: you don’t get married. People who are incapable of upholding a covenant with God shouldn’t and can’t make such a covenant. Which is obvious when you think about it.

Despite common misconception, the Catholic Church doesn’t just throw young people together and push them to get married for the funzies. Before you get married, you have to pass a class called Pre-Cana (yes, named after the Wedding at Cana), where you and your fiancé go through counseling and training to make sure you understand the commitment you’re making , that you and your fiancé are a good match, and that you’re ready to make that commitment and live together. You’re usually required to be married by your parish priest, who hopefully knows you well, probably did your Pre-Cana, and can be confident in witnessing and presiding over your covenant.

There’s a lot that goes into preparing for marriage in the Catholic Church, and it’s precisely because we understand that a valid marriage is indissoluble. Once you’re validly married, there is nothing anyone on earth can do to change that.

Now, an important note: This does not mean people have to stay in abusive situations, even if their marriage is valid. Separation in the Church is allowed in serious situations like abuse, and in fact you can get legally divorced in that situation, since a piece of paper doesn’t affect your binding covenant in any way. However, in this case, you’re still married to that person and this can’t get remarried. (There are caveats and technicalities that could deem an abusive marriage invalid and thus dissolvable, but this post is too long already. I recommend this website by a canon lawyer for anyone who’s curious about the details and requirements of a valid Catholic marriage.)

#Catholic law on marriage is *incredibly* complex #Precisely because it’s such a big commitment #And a marriage is made valid by the consent of the SPOUSES #who confer the sacrament on each other by their consent #So anything that violates that consent invalidates the marriage #catholicism #catholic #marriage #catholic nerdstuff #theology #I’m unable to get married (at least at this point in my life) because I’m ace and sex repulsed and thus can’t give proper consent #That would fall under the “because they were born so” I imagine #However if my sex repulsion were to go away and I WAS willing to have sex THEN I could get married

not gonna add to the already controversial post but wasn't Mary's marriage to St. Joseph valid but not Sacramental (which would require consummation) bc only natural marriage existed until Jesus instituted it as a Sacrament (after St. Joseph's death)?

#this in no way devalues the marriage btw and certainly not my intention #also like HOW could it be Sacramental if Baptism hadnt been instituted yet either???

[tobacconist]

id never heard that some protestants do not consider marriage to be a sacrament, but reading into it, it actually makes a lot of sense

#basically: it is an institution decreed by God and is therefore good but is not a sacrament because it does not confer the holy spirit #which is why non christians and pre christians also had some form of marriage #a petty semantic debate of course but hey thats church history for ya!

[mell0bee]

where is that post that says ‘i think being human is what makes us human actually’

For those that think it’s easy…

It’s not. Motherhood is hard. Being a wife is hard. And being pregnant is H A R D. Doing all three at the same time… is damn near impossible. I try to do everything that needs to be done, and yet I feel I always fall short in one area: not enough love to the husband, house a mess, burned dinner, a child feeling left out… there’s so much. Truthfully, I’m tired of the social media moms I follow…

No the ACOE also do not have any iconography at all, and never 3D crosses with Jesus on it. https://www.assyrianchurch.org.au/about-us/the-sacraments/sign-of-the-cross/: "It must be be noted in this connection that cross is the only object of veneration in the Church of East. They do not use crucifix and images. But the cross is kissed in the churches and in the homes."

It's actually why I was so confused when I saw ACOE church interiors for the first time (in photos) because it's very similar to Syriac Orthodox churches, but also so different because there are no icons like in the other churches whose adherents are mostly ethnic Assyrians.

Okay, I'm going to have to quote this in full, because the sign of the cross being a sacrament instead of a sacramental is an interesting piece of theology. (Easy link here; also, I reformated slightly to avoid huge walls of text)

This is also a special sacrament exclusive to this church. This is used as a substitute to marriage, which is not counted as a sacrament in this church. A reasonable doubt has been raised by many how the sign of the cross is a sacrament. Mar Abdisho has put it as a sacrament because “cross is that by which Christians are ever kept, and by it all the other sacraments are sealed and perfected”. Mar Abdisho himself has added to the confusion of the state of this sacrament by not explaining about it in Memra 4 where he has written about other sacraments in detail. To make the confusion worse confounded Mar Abdisho has a chapter ‘of Matrimony and of Virginity’ in the same Memra where he deals with sacraments only. Instead in the following Memra, he has a chapter “on the worship of the Lord’s Cross”. “By this sign the Apostles wrought miracles and the laying on the hands for the priesthood, and all the other sacraments of the church are perfected thereby”. Abdisho concludes his treatment of the subject quoting the well known Pauline passage “the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God”. Mar Abdisho reminds that “the great foundation of Christianity is the confession that through the cross renewal and universal salvation were obtained for all”. It is believed that the sign of the cross will appear in the sky at the second coming of our Lord. Abdisho also states that the cross is to be worshipped. Hence we offer a fervent and eucharistic worship, not to the fashioned matter of the cross: but to Him whom we figure as upon it, and above all to God, who gave His son to be a cross (i.e crucified) for us, through Whom He gives to such as are worthy everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven. It must be be noted in this connection that cross is the only object of veneration in the Church of East. They do not use crucifix and images. But the cross is kissed in the churches and in the homes. There is a separate festival for the cross on September 26th which is the commemoration of the finding of the cross. There is a long service for this day in the Khudra. The cross is kept in the churches. It is found on the top of the church building. It is inside the altar. It is kept on the tables in the nave of the of the church so that the worshippers can kiss it when they enter as well as they go out of the church. Inside their homes, a cross is placed on the eastern wall of the first room. If one sees a cross in a house and do not find a crucifix or pictures, it is almost certain that the particular family belongs to the Church of the East. The cross is worn from a chain around the neck, not only by the Bishops but also by several laywomen and men. During the wedding ceremony the bride gives a golden cross to the bridegroom in return for the ring which he puts on her finger. Golden and silver crosses are taken out in festival processions. When blessing is given for any service the priest or Bishop holds the cross in his hand. Golden, silver, wooden and plastic crosses are used. Crosses are stitched with thread on all the towels, table clothes, veil etc used in the Church. Crosses are engraved on the chalice, paten, spoon and even on the mould in which bread is baked.

What Catholics actually want and need from marriage preparation

What Catholics actually want and need from marriage preparation

Keep the lines of communication open, and buy gold. Those are the two things and the only things my husband and I learned in our marriage preparation classes 25 years ago. It’s hard to say which bit of advice was less helpful. We already knew communication was important, but what we really needed was practice. And the financial advice was sound, but we had exactly enough cash for one month’s rent…

Religious Materialism

Usually when we think of materialism, we think of secular materialism from a world view that denies the supernatural or the divine, and instead sees significance only in the physical world. An interesting shift from materialism to the prosperity gospel is in the recognition that God is the one who gives blessings. However, when the blessings we see as coming from God become the primary focus, the…
