Wow.
HOW DOES AUTHORITY WORK IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Is literally the most basic question anyone can ask. And you stupid bastards aren't even capable to answer that.
I am literally talking to a bunch on kindergartners in this deadass thread.

My conspiratorial mind even thinks you shits actually did look up how authority works, and you did look up what the Church teaches about the Jews. But can't come out and admit the bad.
Whatever. All this shit is on your conscience. Stop larping and learn proper Church teaching tho.

I mean I directly answered his (rude, loaded, insincere) demand for an answer and... nothing, typical low IQ baitnigga.
Which is shame because actual ANGY debate can be refreshing, but when it's false and just for reeeeee's sake it's wholly hollow and pointless, there's probably a verse about such fulfilment somewhere.

Baitnigger cycle in the Catholic Thread:
-Asks incredibly loaded/vague question about the faith and/or church hierarchy
-Someone answers
-"WRONG, YOURE ALL HERETICS/CUCKS/CHUDS!!!! BE REAL CHRISTIANS!!! I ALREADY KNEW YOU WERE WRONG I JUST WAS PRETENDING TO CARE!!!!"
and it happens again.

Jesus did say something somewhere about pearls before swine. People get lost in the weeds, but the good news is most important. Jesus Christ died for our sins, and rose from the dead. Church policy is secondary to the mercy Christ has shown to us.

That's why I decided to not get involved in this kerfuffle. At least Captain didn't post his hand to prove he was white.

I would say so, yes, I'm going to give it to my priest tomorrow and see what I should do, pretty sure it's meant to be burned though.

Heads up, as a broken rosary/chaplet collector: first, get it repaired. Sounds like a chain rosary so it should be just fine. Second, in the case of rosaries that can’t be repaired conventionally, like missing beads, I recommend turning them into smaller one decades or chaplets. Missing some beads? Turn it into a Holy Face chaplet, or Infant of Prague. Got 33 of them unused? Turn it into a chotki for the Jesus Prayer.

There are a thousand ways to repair or recycle them without a permanent end like burying or burning! But get them blessed again in such an event.

I've attempted repairs by myself and it's been pretty much fruitless, nothing has gone missing, I can't help but think of superstitious stuff though cause of recent issues I guess

I still have mine from Confirmation but I don't use those because I'm scared they'll break. :(

While I understand having scruples, we have to be cautious about superstition. One suggestion I have, perhaps buy a couple of either cheaper rosaries, or maybe even something tougher like a paracord set, and leave the favorite at home. See if there’s a rosary repair lady in your (or a nearby) parish… there’s almost always one in more conservative areas, if you’re hitting a wall.

Sometimes, certain rosaries are best fit for only special occasions!

If you're looking for a good, durable, Rosary I recommend a set of Battle Beads or alike by Rugged Rosaries. You can find them on Amazon.

Yeah, I'll look into it, I put a bit of thought into it and I'm 90% sure I must have broken it because I was praying it when I went to sleep. Just ended up pulling it apart somehow and not noticed.

I have an authentic WWI pull chain rosary, and those things can really take a beating. Interestingly enough, my thanks to St. Rita upthread was finding two of my rosaries, including my priceless 1950s blue crystal set from Loreto. It was in a pouch with an insanely rare tin Japanese set from the early 1960s.

My “beat around” rosary is my fifteen year old crystal with St. Cecilia (my patron).

I’m such a dork. I love the history of sacramentals. I won’t begin to bore all of you with my medal collection.

Beanie boi had an Orthodox, a Catholic and a Protestant on to debate Catholic supremacy and the poor prot guy was not ready to hang. I would feel bad for him but he is extremely anti-Catholic during his livestreams so…nah.
