As an older Catholic, I'm happy to see that younger generations are still Catholic. When I go to mass during the week, its only old people there. Even my own children have fallen away from the faith, and hate me for mine! ( No I didn't badger them ) I have studied many other religions in my search to love God, and I find myself having come full circle back to Catholicism. Yes , even though the church is dealing with controversy and schism, there are faithful Catholics that love Christ and try to live his commandments and are thankful for his sacrifice. I especially love our celebration of the mass, in response to Christs words " do this in commemoration of me" The search for truth causes us to sometime be the Catholics you describe. An honest and pure heart seeking the truth and following the greatest commandments spoken of by Christ, will reveal truth to each of us. I'm old now, but still search for truth. I'm happy to a Catholic Christian, but I am being careful to not be misled by some of the false directions that our church leaders might teach. The gift of discernment will reveal Gods truth to an honest heart. Be careful. Love God. Be thankful for the salvation gifted to us by Christs death. May you be blessed in your faith by the most high God, our Father and creator, his beloved Son and the Holy Spirit that dwells within each of us.
+Dan Seluk If you are going to the Novus Ordo Mass, I recommend looking for a traditionalist parish with Traditional Mass (Latin or Eastern rite). There should be people of all ages there. God bless.
I am from Turkey. Most attenders are young like me. But that is because most christians in turkey are actuslly converts from islam or atheism/deism etc.
+Hemolymph I'm curious.. I've started going to Tridentine Latin Mass as well. I've brought up to our parish priest and others of influence at my "home" parish that I thought WE should look into the Tridentine Mass. I felt like younger persons (i'm 53) would love this form of Mass. What are your thoughts on this, from a Millenial point of view?
Little flowers- Mostly teenage girls/young women who's confirmation saint is st. Therese of lisieux, who's copy of The Story of a Soul is practically falling apart, who could talk about therese for hours, who freaks out every time they see a rose, and who spend the entire year looking forward to October 1st
MsPunkRockk Just remember that the music comes from the beliefs. It is not separated. I am not practicing right now but when I did the chants had a whole different meaning.
Juan G I went to a Gregorian chant in a 11 century chapel at the Prague castle it was winter with snow on the battlements at night overlooking the lit city below, the chapel was lit with candles and hot wine was available, the chant was by 12 brothers of the monastery. That was a chant. Perfect in all facets.czechia Praha.
Add "Madly insaint," a group of Catholics who love reading about the saints, and can give you a patron saint for everything you ask him to name a patron saint for. He knows feast days, important moments in their lives, and love the litany of the saints in song.
I converted to Catholic 4 years ago and have for some reason started watch videos about Eastern Catholics. Let me say this, I love the sense of humor you guys have. Well, just like us Roman Catholics. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.
No lie, I was asked once, "Is there a Modest or Chaste way to shower?" and I was like, "Yeah, shower alone." then I asked where my life was heading at that point in life.....
Jim Kovac Yes, I was going to say the Charismatic Catholic but I think the Pentecostal Catholic covers it better. They're the ones that hijack the Mass in your local parish with all their hand holding and raising their arms every time the congregation responds to the priest. Next they'll be trying to be speaking in tongues at Mass.
omg, YOU TOTALLY NAILED IT IN THIS! I'm a full on demonologist and inner city chatechetists, though because of this only like three peope my age are actually comfortable talking to me about theology and philosophy because all the youth group kids think I'm a sketchy mofo. lol. oh well awesome video. I just discovered you guys (New Catholic Gen. guys) just last night, and I'm compeletely obsessed (well not like "obsessed" obsessed, but like genuinely happy and relieved) with you guys. It's so awesome to see actual catholics on a website so ridden with atheist and liberal propaganda. Anyway, m sister is heading up to steubenville in a year, and from what I gather you guys attend franciscan university of steubenville up there (though I could be mistaken) and it would be so cool to meet you guys up there. well any way, if I haven't scared you off, I just want to really emphasize one more time how happy this sort of thing makes me. +jmj+
Former protestant, Very close to home. I am a proud PRC, Potential Roman Catholic haha. I've been going to Mass and its been exciting. I've wanted to be a Catholic for a very long time but, misinformation and complacency held me back. My deep interest in Roman Catholicism actually comes from that fact I am very passionate about Knightly Culture (Chivalry), Medieval history and Medieval Catholicism. The Knight of Christ and Chivalric Ethos are very important to me, and the Catholic Church had a huge role in the Middle ages supporting that and facilitating that in my opinion still do that in a different way. Very atypical conversion story, but I am a very atypical person in this modern world. My Favorite Saint is St. George and it is My lifes Dream to attend a Latin Mass in Western Europe just like the Galahads, Teutonic Knights, and Chivalrous knights of the Middle ages. I thought you would be interested in my unique story and God bless you, I admire and respect you for what you are doing. I am so excited for RCIA in the future and Mass this weekend i can Barely contain it. What I love about Chivalry and Knight of Christ so much, is it exists To Glorify Christ and defend His Catholic Church. Id be one thing if a hobby led me away from Christ but for me it makes my faith 100x stronger and is there to Glorify God, and for me the thow things are hand in hand. I have acleteic music tastes but yes Gregorian Chants!!! I love Salve Regina. Dies Irae, In Timore Dei and so on In Nomine Patris et Filii et Et Spirtus Sancti Amen
GOD bless y’all too at New Catholic Generation! I’m much older than y’all( grandmother of 3)❤️🙏🏼❤️. However, I am a school teacher, and what your ministry is displaying on RU-vid is very relevant good and holy work! You youngins’ rock!!! I was a teenage Catholic of the mid to late 70s. Oh yeah! Guitar Mass, that today would put me into cardiac arrest! GOD bless Mother Angelica and EWTN for showing the world Via TV, the true reverence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Praise be to GOD that y’all were born in a time when reverence is beautiful and necessary for the KING of KINGS and the LORD of LORDS, our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!
Is there a name you can give to a person who loves reading about the lives of the saints and often says "There's a saint for that?" That's what I am. The Saint-o-Matic? Saint-inator? Help!
Hey Juan, I congratulate you on your righteous conviction to seek purity. Praise be to God! We need more leaders. Matt Fradd and Jason Evert provide excellent Ministry in this area. Finding a local Catholic Parish that does young adult retreats is a great way to make friends and get a prayerful support network. Hope that helps! ..Also pray the Rosary and ask the Immaculate for her council! God bless!
Gregorian Can't Even!! I have actually listened to it when I went to sleep and Jesu Dulcis Memoria just happens to be at the top of my Spotify playlist. 🤓
And three more Catholics types I can think of: -The Catholic Scientist, the catholic who loves to focus on how science and theology are always in communion with one another. - The Catholic comedian, the catholic who is always has a great sense of humor and is able to make people laugh without making offensive/unholy jokes - The Catholic hipster, the catholic who has a special devotion to a saint that most people have never even heard about
I'm a mix. I play guitar, and feel I express a lot through that style of music, but within the liturgy, I'm feeling more and more drawn to the TLM or one of the Eastern Catholic liturgies. I'm Polish, so of course I love me some St. JPII and the TOB. I miss BXVI, but I'm loving how Francis completely eludes being pinned down to "conservative" or "liberal" narratives.
I know you posted this three years ago, but I'm also Roman Catholic and have been feeling drawn to the Eastern right too recently. I'm completely aware I cannot attend an Orthodox divine liturgy as a substitute for mass (as a Roman Catholic), but I've read we can attend the Eastern Catholics' divine liturgy to fulfill our Sunday obligation - have you learned anything about this in three years? I'm genuinely interested.
I just stumbled upon this. Wow! What are the odds? I went to St. Gregory the Great grade school in South Euclid, Ohio, before it became the "cool liberal" place you speak of. The nuns beat us daily! They really packed a wallop! They sure weren't liberal! LOL! I got a huge kick out of this video. You know every type of Catholic imaginable, and I concur with your classifications. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hahahaha this was great! Really awesome energy in your delivery, all the bloopers you included in the editing were hilarious. Very thorough list, lots of types I can relate to interacting with here around campus. Mass in Elvish...I haven't heard that one before even from all the Tolkienites in Trinity. lol. Door knocking sound at 4:29 was perfect.
+Winaska And as another Tolkienite, if we're talking about the language, it's Elvish... and we should clarify if we're talking about Quenya or Sindarin. :P
Enjoying your vids, just saw a few of them. I clicked with a few of these types, haha! I also really appreciated you walking people through the Byzantine rite. :) The Church is so rich! Bless you, and keep doin yo thang.
I love the tongue twists...and that you nailed those eastern inflections. Umm, I often meet the correctional Catholic, "Well, yeah, buuuut...," and the puritan Catholic, "but no, really, you must pray/eat/dress/talk this way, and on schedule, and be austere as possible...," and the happy Catholic, "HEY!!! OH THAT'S SO WONDERFUL! GOD IS SO GREAT!"
I'm a convert, but totally not a ConvertyPants. I looked up SO much about Catholicism before I even ever brought it up to friends and family, let alone a priest. Usually, I gotta educate the Cradle Catholics. ;) I guess it makes me a TheoNerd.
hilariously accurate video. also really enjoyed your other videos. keep up the good work, renee! P.S. you should add a category for the one who is in love with all things monastic/religious, with endless enthusiasm for the Divine Office, Adoration, and the smell of incense, and is always seen wearing monastic sandals in the chapel.
I immediately gave this a thumbs up because I noticed you played Zelda music at the beginning of your video. BTW, the rest of the video was awesome. :)
Definitely a slight Gregorian Cant Even...I'm actually reading this giant book on Gregorian Chant...But I'm also a huge choir nerd so that makes sense hahaGood video!
Converty-pants here. But I'm also a Biblio-librarian, which is why I became a Catholic. It's the only church that fellows the Bible properly. Do you have a category for Inquisitor? I have read almost every dogmatic council that was ever held (memorized some of them), and can spot a heretical statement in my sleep.
Hahaha this was hilarious! How about a category in part 2 for seminarians who are the fun loving, vibrant youth leader-like sorts? Not all of us are hard TheoNerds! :D
Haha! This is hilarious! I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which one I am the most. Looking forward to part two RebornPure Catholic! Great stuff!
Deum Verum!!! Yes!!! ...sorry- yes, I'm a Traditionalist. ...and like chant. ...in case you were still wondering. _Deum Verum Unum in Trinitate et Trinitatem in Unitate; Venite Adoremus_
Tim Spangler I'm confused at why you say that. If you're criticizing Latin, then you'll have a massive discussion on your hands. If you're talking about something else, I have no idea what you're trying to say, and I can't fathom how it's relevant.
Tim Spangler Latin does communicate. Gregorian chant is Liturgical music- for use predominantly in the Divine Office and the Mass. Few laypeople pray the Office, and the laity do not need to understand the Mass, because the Mass is about God- not the people. If God can understand it- and obviously He can- then Latin communicates as well as vernacular. Additionally, Latin is the language of the Latin Rite of the Church, and hence is (should be) universal throughout Latin Rite Parishes. If Latin were (again) universally adopted in Latin Rite Parishes for use at Mass, then anyone who knows the Mass (most people who attend the Latin Mass know at least the parts that they may say during the Dialogue and High Masses) can say the responses; whereas, under the current system in which vernacular is the norm, one can only say the responses if one knows the vernacular (meaning if someone is visiting a foreign country in which a different vernacular is spoken, he will likely be unable to give the appropriate responses). The Latin is not hard to learn. I've studied it for about half a year, and already know most of the servers' and congregations' responses for the Latin Mass, and even know a fair deal of what the Priest says. Furthermore, vernacular is more subject to misinterpretation than Latin, as Latin has fallen into disuse as a vernacular. _There is not a single reason for vernacular to be used in the Liturgy_, save for the readings. ...so, please tell me why you're complaining about Latin.
+Michael Rex i second your opinion. As a cabin crew, i have attended Mass all over the world with the language problem. Would be way better if Latin was universal. Then i wouldnt need to carry my almost 2lb missal ;)
Haha! My father's family is Ukrainian Catholic. I was raised Roman, but from the limited exposure I've had, yes, that Eastern hymn still gets stuck in my head. Perogies and kielbasa forever... I was a Tolkeinite, apologist, demonologist, theonerd and liturgeek, but now refer to myself as a "baptized pagan". Paganism at its best is the religion of poetry and heroism. That's the kind of Catholic I want to be: gleaning the good parts of today's culture and throwing the rest in the garbage, where it belongs.
Hi, thank you for your videos, I am not a catholic, but I think more and more about convert myself. I had never believed in God before that. I do know really know if I now believe in Him but this decadent world in which we are living makes me more and more sick and I want to believe there is somewhere else. Thank for sharing your videos, I really need to learn about catholicism. Sorry id my english is pretty bad, this is not my first language.
Hello there! That's great that you're considering converting. If you have any questions or concerns about the Church or its teachings, don't hesitate to leave a message to me :)
Come join the battle between good and evil my friend. Ask for faith with all your will but be ready because that prayer will be answered and it will hit you like a truck.
Thank you both, I believe more and more in God everyday but I have to finish reading the Bible before taking any decisions, some parts really impressed me. But no problem I will ask questions if I have some. :)
Ex-Cons: Girls who've been in the convent and came back out, and either got married right away or became teachers, or both. They know the faith really well, and usually have excellent senses of humor.
Also Baptist Catholics: Ending all their sentences with Praise the Lord, Hallejuah, God is Good. Possibly also putting hands in the air or over their hearts. They are incredibly grateful, and very vocal about it. Note: I went to a Mass with a "Baptist-y" Priest, and was really confused for about 10 minutes, as it had a Southern Baptist country church feel, with lots of Hallejuahs. Luckily the form of the Mass and the giant Divine Mercy Jesus helped me remember that it was definitely a Catholic Mass.
Oh man! You totally pegged me in this. Ha ha! I'm a revert, and thought I was I was weird being the newly scrupulous, the demonologist and the .... well, I totally fall asleep to Gregorian Chant too. It's good to know I'm NOT ALONE, hahahaha :) Thank you for this, and God bless!
Methinks this channel/the comments are a good way to get Catholic friends. If you want. And since we're labeling ourselves, you could get quite an assortment.
Good point Kelleen (and mad impressed with the fact you began a sentence with "and" - that's pro). YT so darn cumbersome so if there's an FB page where I can see real ppl and add them as 'friends', do let me know! (in the meantime, I'm "Robert Lepsoe" if you're on it.
Do you need to Baptised I'm order to be catholic? Because I was camping a while back and got in a huge fist fight with some people in my boy scout troop, and I felt horrible about myself. So I walked around the huge camp grounds and found an outdoor catholic chapel, and I decided to pray for the first time in my life. Ever since then I felt more at peace, and aligned myself with the Catholic faith. I sincerely want to know this. Please feel free to answer me.
Nicholas Kerby In order to fully be in union with the Catholic Church, you need to be baptized and receive Holy Communion. You can begin the process to do all this simply by visiting your local Catholic parish and and expressing your intent to become a Catholic to the priest there. God bless you. It is no accident that you felt such peace at a Catholic Church. It was established by Christ Himself. Take it from me, someone who lived on the wrong side of life for many, many years. Nothing is as satisfying as Christ. No earthly pleasure amounts to what His Love is like. I will keep you in my prayers, my friend.
David White I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention this. It wasn't Sunday, so the priest wasn't there. What I did was that I found the place and felt a sense of peace and a need to pray. That's when I became in touch with God.
David White also I don't know where a Catholic Church is in my city, and my family isn't really the religious type. I never really go to church, but I still believe in God.
Nicholas Kerby It doesn't matter that it wasn't a Sunday. You felt an overwhelming sense of peace and that's excellent. Now, the next step is to move forward in the faith. I am sure there is a Catholic Church in your area--look online, there's bound to be one closer than ten miles unless you live in a very rural community. Praying is an excellent way to get in touch with God, but as Catholics, we have the awesome Sacrament of the Eucharist. There is no way to form a more deeper union with the Lord than through receiving His Body and Blood. All the prayers in the world couldn't amount to one, single Communion. If your family isn't the religious type, express to them that you feel drawn to the Catholic Church and explain why. Ask them if they'll permit you to pursue the faith. If you're a minor and they forbid you from doing so, you will have to respect their wishes until you're an adult but you should still try explaining to them the positive attributes of Catholicism. Who knows, they may even decide to join you :) God bless!
David White I am a minor, of only sixteen, and I explained to my mother my situation. She said every morning she also says her prayers over her coffee and before bed. She said it would be better for us to go to a Christian church instead, as she affiliates with Christianity more than Catholicism. I don't really mind this because I can still pray to God, and I know that all Catholics are Christian, but not all Christian's are Catholic. So I've decided to take from both faiths. I appreciate all your help my friend, and even though I'll be going to a Christian church, doesn't mean I'll abandoned that special place in my heart I found when I visited God in that Catholic Chapel. God bless!
This is hilarious and adorable! I've just finished a degree in Theology, and I have to say, I can just about think of a seminarian for every different category of yours haha thanks so much, your video was thoroughly entertaining!
One of my favourites are the Nomads, those who go to more than one parish and are never consistent on where they go to mass or participate in different groups in different parishes. In any case, they're everywhere.
I'm not sure how to say what I'm about to say correctly, just I had no idea that there were so many devout Catholics such as what you have explained. I go to church on Sunday but that is pretty much it. Really opened my eyes, thanks, you're doing amazing things
EcoCatholics: The Catholics who are very much concerned with environmental issues. Have a: good sense of social justice (as environmental issues often tie into them), a devotion to St. Francis, only read Papal encyclicals (or parts of them) that pertain to green issues. Big fans of the most recent Popes and can see an environmental angle in a Scripture passage and when they say pro-life they are pro-the-life-of-every-living-creature-on-this-planet. One of the few Catholics you know who cares about Earth Day and probably drives a hybrid.
I'm one of these. I was Pagan as a child, and now I say "We are called to be stewards of the earth, not to destroy it. We must see the Creator in all creation, we must seek to understand the Creator by understanding creation." That's probably at least material heresy, but some things I will never forget from what I once believed. I think there's a big difference between pro-life and anti-abortion. You cannot be pro-life if you don't care about the child once it's born. To be pro-life is to be against abortion, against killing anything without need, against concentration camps and genocide, and against the death penalty. Just because the state does it doesn't mean it's not taking a life. You cannot support or be a bystander to unnecessary death and be pro-life. Dear anti-abortion politicians: If you were really pro-life you'd take a stand against trading with tyrants who kill their citizens en masse. Dear anti-abortion activists: If you were really pro-life, we would hear just as much about the death penalty as we do about abortion. If you were really pro-life, you'd pray outside prisons, executions, courthouses, and public meetings as much as you pray outside abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood.
Homeschooled. Born and raised by a pious family, these ones know everything about going through a day the catholic way: morning prayer, angelus, grace before and after meal, rosary, evening prayer, etc... And yet they don't seem to care so much because they've been doing that their whole life, which exasperates the Converty Pants.
The wayward catholic. The one who grew up catholic and in the church but as they gotten older.... Kind of ran away and are the "troubled" ones and know they should come back but still are hesitant because they are on their own "let me find myself" mission. (Guilty as charged)
"Super Charismatic istic expi ali docious!" (the Charismatic movement-obsessed Catholic). Say it like Mary Poppins and it's easier to say. :P The Christian music lover. Maybe something along the lines of "Upon this rock, I will build my worship playlist". Though there's also the pop variety for which I'm having a hard time thinking of a pun. Your own channel description of "I don't know if there is a bigger fan of EWTN than me" makes me wonder what you'd call someone who is Catholic TV-obsessed. "EWT-N-tranced"? Catholivision? Catholivisionary? I wonder if you've met someone who seems to try to join as many parish groups as humanly possible. "Captain Parish!" Or something along those lines maybe.
Types not mentioned: The Marians- The women in Church who wear the Marian veil to focus on Jesus during Mass and blessed sacrament adoration, they are also the ones who wear a Rosary around their wrists or in their pockets where it gets tangled with their headphones, the Brown Scapular and the Miraculous Medal (around their necks of course). The Habit Virtues- Those who take the saying "you are as holy as your habits" literally. The Holy Decorists- They will have holy pictures, statues and prayer cards EVERYWHERE. The Medal and Scapular Necks- They will wear every single dedicated scapular and medal they can get their hands on, and give some to their friends as gifts. The Armsgivers- They participate in charities not excluded to the Lenten season. The Semi-Sacrificial Lambs- The ones who will offer every pain or situation to God, no matter how immense or trivial. The Mystics- Those who have received the graces to encounter Jesus (through prayer and penance). The Meme Distributors- They will not hesitate to create, like and share Catholic memes. The Festives- The ones who attend every major or minor Catholic Festival they can. The Motivators- They are the ones who motivate fellow Catholics to be better Catholics. The Mixed Bag- A combination of mentioned categories. Side Note: I have yet to see part 2.
The other types of Catholics Renee didn't have time to mention go as follows: 1} The Bundt Cake Catholic, aka the Casserole Catholic. This is the one who ... before going to the pews ... makes a straight line to the Church basement with some kind of dish covered with serrated edged aluminum foil. No passing Go. No collecting $200. This person goes straight to the parish kitchen downstairs bearing gifts of things that result in leftovers. 2} The Mertonian, aka the Trappista. This is the one who can quote a line or two out of Merton's Seeds of Contemplation. Instead of planning a trip to the Vatican, this type of Catholic makes sure that, before he dies, he spends at least one weekend as a guest at the nearest Trappist monastery, where he will hear at lunch and at dinner, the recording of someone reading from a Thomas Merton book. 3} The Triathlean. This is the Catholic who equates penance and mortification with triathlon training, weight lifting workouts, August football camp, and any other type of workout that results in burning muscles and/or cramping at the sides of one's rib cage. His/her quest is to see how much he/she can endure. Instead of having as his/her mentor a well-dressed cardinal perched in lavish settings, his/her hero is some monk placed somewhere in Church history ... or Catherine Siena .... or some ascetic somewhere in this world. A triathlean admires the ascetic who slept on a mat, instead of the cardinal who sleeps in palatial settings. 4} The Florence Nightengalite. This is the one who has a magnetic attraction to working with Downs Syndrome children, autistic children, or Special Olympics candidates. 5} The Monarchy Restorationist. This person recognizes that the phrase "honest politician" is an oxymoron. The Monarchy Restorationist seeks to be spared of the tyranny of the Good Ole Boy political networks in the congresses and parliaments throughout the world, and he/she also seeks to be spared of the tyranny of the easily-duped masses. The Monarchy Restorationist realizes that all are called to be Christlike and that Jesus is known as Christ the King and NOT Christ the wheeling and dealing politician who doesn't keep his campaign promises. This type of person literally longs to see a bishop here and a cardinal there anoint a monarch here and a monarch there. Said rulers will be bound to constitutional monarchies founded upon an updated version of the Magna Carta which would simply be the Declaration of the Rights of Man promulgated as binding law, instead of talked-about at wine-and-cheese gatherings as a nice thought. 6} The Kumbyahnian. This was the one who, during the beginning of the Vatican II reforms, was never taught a sentence of catechism, and in place of religion class, his/her class was told to sit in a circle, hold hands, and sing Kumbaya, My Lord. The religion teacher of the typical Kumbyahnian would then give all of the classmates poster board, magazines, and paint, telling each student to make a poster which states that God is Love. The typical Kumbyahnian teacher had at least one tie-dye shirt and several pairs of bell bottom jeans, along with a floppy hat and a few black light posters, as well as an anti-Vietnam War bumper sticker or two ... if the teacher were a layman/woman, that is. If the teacher were a priest or religious, he/she would still have anti-Vietnam War pamphlets or photos and probably an arrest record acquired at the nearest Vietnam War protest rally. These were some of the types that Renee hadn't the time to mention yet.
Thank you for this video; I really enjoyed your light-hearted take on so many different personalities. There's a little bit of me in almost each description, so I can't pin meself down to just one. However, l... just... couldn't... resist... pointing... out... the misspelling of "SCRUPULOUS" at 5:06. If you did that deliberately just to see who'd bite, that's brilliant!! And if it was just a serendipitous coincidence, then I guess I now know which kind of Catholic I am.
There is a species of Catholic I refer to as the "Jesuette": young women who adore Jesuits and hang out all the time with Jesuit priests and seminarians. The Venerable Beads: those beautiful, elderly women who are always at Mass early praying their rosary in silence. Those are two who come to mind!
I'm very late to the party here (clearly) but wanted to say: I loved Gregorian Chants even before my conversion last April, and I don't ever want to stop listening to them now. Ironically, I couldn't tell you a single lick of what the monks, nuns, or choir is saying, with the exceptions being liturgically regular hymns/chants (Kyrie Eleison). Guess I'm a Diet-Cant even. I do not mind kicking over to classic rock music or classical, or jazz, or even soundtracks from games and movies (because they range from memorable to just straight up awesome), but otherwise: Imma just listen to chants and Catholic Lofi. If I might add one more: Mother Lovers. These are Catholics who have an above average tie and devotion to Our Blessed Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and will happily talk for hours about how lovely and sweet Our Lady is to them, and how they wish most Catholics would share in the same level of devotion to her. They've even gone as far as to read St. Louis de Montfort's _True Devotion to Mary and preparation for Total Consecration_ and take the necessary steps towards total consecration to her. (I'm a mother lover, could you tell?) Anyway: loved this. Thanks for being honest haha. God bless and keep you, forever. Amen. Pax Christi. Ave Maris Stella.
Loved the video. I think I'm a bit of an ApologeticTechie, Liturgeek, TheoNerd, TOBsessive, Tolkienite, BXVI Fanclub Forever, Advice Column Catholic and Gregorian Cant even. As a suggestion for part two you could go with the Catholic Historians, the rare Catholic Monarchists and the Catholic Art Lovers (which could even be divided between those that love the renaissance, gothic, baroque and other types of catholic art fans).
I guess I could consider myself a combination of "Convertonerd" and "Easterner" myself... Was born, baptized, and raised Latin Rite, then converted spiritually, not Canonically yet, but spiritually converted to the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church (albeit semi-attached to the UGCC as well, considering both the Cathedrals are a mile apart in my area). Blessed Great Fast to you, and with tomorrow being Forgiveness Vespers, I pray that you will forgive me if I have offended, and/or failed to accomplish anything God has called on me to do throughout the last year, as I forgive you.
