Yes this is very real and true story I 33F found out that my whole life in the church is a lie. I take communion every service go to mass 3 times a week always considered myself a cradle catholic. Only for my mom to confess to me today she never baptized me at birth like I was told NOR, did I ever fully finish receiving first communion in second grade she pulled me the day of the ceremony. She gaslit me into thinking I did. However, I have been fully convinced and told I was. Until today when she decided to come clean. 2 days before my own child’s baptism! He is a month old
So now, you mean to tell me I have been receiving the Eucharist on a lie this whole time and I need to now make an appointment with my priest who I have known for quite sometime and just be like hey actually my whole life is a lie! Any advice on how to navigate this and cancel my son’s baptism? I literally feel like a sham

Tonight I saw a beautiful sacrament that I've never witnessed before where four priests gave their confessions to one another in pairs. They knelt afterward to receive forgiveness.

How do priests normally receive penance, especially if they are the only priest in a parish?

I keep hearing this is a freak accident that can’t be prepared for

When the top mount of a crucifix fails, there is only one possible direction it can fall. Physics already tells us where the crucifix travels, at what force, and where it will land.

In short, the priest was standing on the only spot on the sanctuary that was a guaranteed fatality. Not only was he within the fall radius of the object, his head was where the greatest force impact would happen upon contact. if he were 2 feet behind where he was, he would have been hit in the head with less force and survived; if he were 5 inches over to the left or right, he would’ve had a broken shoulder but survived. It’s a game of inches and inches would’ve saved his life.

I don’t want priests to die by what is completely preventable. It’s very simple. The sanctuary is huge. However rare this situation is, it‘s 100% preventable if you avoid your head from being in the radius fall path of the crucifix. Isn’t that reasonable?
