I am glad that checked this thread for your reply. It would have pained me to find this on sunday afternoon.
>I commit mortal sins quite regulary
We’re all in that boat, probably. As my confessor would say: 'It is a battle'. It is one of the things keeping me from becoming a priest. I am currently in sin, too
There are two ways for this and I hope you answer before I go to mass tomorrow so that I can reply. First question: Novus ordo? No bias here, as I explained once earlier without my flag on, second question: is there a monastery or at least some some orthodox as opposed to heterodox congregation somewhere near you?
Now my answer to your question: you could ask a priest you know will give proper counsel for confessions every fortnight.
You could truly go before sunday mass, as I am thinking I might do tomorrow, thanks to praying the rosary.
And you should not go to communion under any circumstances, if in mortal sin. Or if you are having doubts about something, maybe if you had a bottle of beer too much yesterday.
This is painful, and I know what you are talking about, as this is how I have been doing it for this year as one of my NY resolutions after a priest told me that it is sacrilege. And I don’t ever want to do it again, it’s the worst feeling. It is, to me, the greatest desire ti receive the Lord in the blessed sacrament, I will not lie. Communion most of the time is the only solace in Novus Ordo mass because you have to endure a lot sometimes. I am glad that since I understand mass more of an unbloody sacrifice and act of penance, too, that this dampens the pointlessness of a sinner being among the faithful. I am not surprised that everyone goes if they think it’s the sole purpose of mass.
Until Pius X. told the laity to dare receiving what they NEED as often as they can, people barely even went to receive it out of awe.
Anyway, everyone goes? Let them look at you, it’s not their concern. They’re probably doing somethign really dumb. In my EF parish, that I usually attend, so many people don’t go to communion that nobody heeds any weird thoughts. After all, since everyone goes in Novus Ordo, WHAT WOULD THAT BOY HAVE DONE?!?!?!?!?!? Fuck these inverted tax collectors
Mind that you aren’t being judged, I have been there, too.

>Padre Pio thinks it's OK, if we mess up
Yeah, he also denied absolution to people who weren’t contrite—which he could read from their souls. Messing up shouldn’t be routine.
And yes, Zizek is great. Probably the only communist who understands Christianity. Watch 'a perverts guide to ideology', it’s really good.
