@maraApr 29, 2026To anyone travelling to Spain
Hi! I'm Maria, a cradle catholic from Madrid (Spain). If you come to Spain this summer I'd be glad to help or give any advice you need. Also, if anyone comes to the Madrid area I'd love to show my fellow catholics around or help in any way I can. PS: Pope Leo is coming to Madrid in june, cant wait!!!!!
@deborahApr 26, 2026Curious who’s here.
I'm curious who is gathered here in this little corner of the Church. Were you born Catholic and never left the Barque of Peter?Did you wander, bleed, wrestle, and come home?Did you come from another Christian tradition and enter into full communion with Rome?Or did grace ambush you from completely outside the walls? Vote below, and tell us the short version of your story in the comments. Because every Catholic has a road.Some were carried to the font as infants.Some crawled back through the wreckage.Some crossed the Tiber with Scripture in one hand and surrender in the other.Some were found when they weren't even looking. How did Christ bring you to His Church?
@zacharyApr 26, 2026My story back to Jesus Christ  
 Early in  2018, I was diagnosed with (ESRD) End-Stage Renal disease, and I had to start dialysis immediately. I prayed to God for the first time in years and begged Him that, if He saved my life, I would dedicate my life to Him. Within seven months of that diagnosis, my cousin from Florida flew all the way to UCLA to donate her kidney and save my life.  Since then, I have been a committed Catholic. I have also joined the Knights of Columbus here in Southern California, attend church almost daily, and serve my community in every way I can.

Traveling To NOLA Next Month For A Conference Anything I Should Be On The Lookout For Or Go See???
Infidelity from Catholics
This is something I’ve been repeatedly shocked by, hearing stories of both men and women who were seemingly good Catholics, but turned out to be cheating on their spouses, or the person they were dating. We’ve all heard the big scandals, but it seems to happen so often even in our circles. I am curious, am I the only one who’s had this impression or heard these stories? It is kind of scary to think. I mean can people sometimes just be not who they say there are?
Anyone else remember Jeremy Fragrance
He was this influencer who had the catchphrase “No. 1 Fragrance Icon that follows the teachings of Jesus” and I thought it was really funny and wholesome until he started just constantly dancing with nothing on but his underwear in a very obscene manner. But yet I think his faith is genuine but he might be mentally ill! @legion what should we feel about celebrities who promote the faith but are obviously not good examples of it themselves, and might be mentally ill, does that excuse them?
Why don’t we drink the body of Christ as catholics when said to do so?
In John 6:53–55 it says “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.” So my question is, we eat his flesh because he told us to, but why don’t we drink his blood because he told us to?
The Sick Need Doctors
Just a thought crossing the mind. I encountered a video requesting aid for persecuted Christians in Africa. Obviously, the situation there is dire and requires our hearts, prayers, and help. My question is: to what point do we allow martyrdom as the result of sacrifice for helping those that do not know Christ Jesus? I have a finite amount of funds… are they better spent making sure my Christian brothers and sisters survive, or are they better spent making sure non-believers come to faith in Jesus?
@sack_bag_duck_manApr 21, 2026Catholic influencers
anyone else growing tired of Catholic influencers? I have found myself unfollowing and stopped listening or watching unordained influencers because I have found them being discordant and posting about petulant arguments and just tiring posts that feel like interacting with is driving me away from the Church. Just. curious if anyone else was feeling the same way.
“Gooning”
Just a 3am thought, but I wonder if GenZ is going to start using the term “gooning” in confession, and if priests are eventually going to start understanding what it means.
Invincible, The Boys
Is anyone else keeping up? I’m a massive nerd with these things but sometimes I feel like I’m not allowed to talk about it because it’s vulgar/gory. I do have chill Catholic friends who like it too, but feel like I’d get cancelled online. Anyone else?

@tradcatmenApr 16, 2026How to know someone truly is toxic
Wish I screenshotted this to set an example from IG. There is an infamous female Catholic content creator who just bragged in a now expired IG story about how after she and her ex boyfriend broke up, she forced him to do Exodus 90 and actually got him to do it via a mutual male acquaintance just so that he couldn’t speak to other women. It should be added she sounded very shameless about this. You don’t use a spiritual exercise to manipulate and control someone which in turn is uncharitable towards their free will. If a man ever asked me what does a toxic woman look like? Here you go. @legion
@josephframosApr 16, 2026Trump, Pope Leo XIV, Hierarchies
For the first topic I’m starting on this app, I’m already interested in starting a fire. So let’s talk about it: Trump’s stupid AI picture, his disparaging comments about Pope Leo XIV’s call for peace, and J.D. Vance trying to play cover for his boss, even though he’s also Catholic. What are your thoughts? But also, here’s another question to ponder: how would you arrange nation, church, family, and community in a hierarchy? If you rank Mother Church as above nation, do you accept the ramifications of what that could imply on a global scale, as well as amongst the average Protestant American who’s been taught to see America as a City On A Hill?
@somecatholicpodcastApr 13, 2026New to Legion
Hello! we are new here, and were excited for this opportunity to connect with others. My wife and I are based out of Florida, where we run our podcast called “Some Catholic Podcast”. What a neat time to be a Catholic! May God bless you all, through Christ our Lord. amen.
@lorenzo12Apr 13, 2026For Those Stuck in Negative Thoughts:
Negative thoughts? Close your eyes, and say, "Satan, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus, Amen." Then, everything will be fine 😊.
@justiceApr 12, 2026Reverts say what’s up to each other!
I’m a revert as of probably 2 years or so 👍
thoughts on aubrey corrigan drama
Personally I feel like these girls know what they’re doing. All of their comment sections are full of simps telling them how beautiful they are etc. I don’t think they’re doing anything wrong and in fact they’re doing more good than harm but I think it’s silly to pretend that there isn’t a vanity aspect to it. Same goes for male influencers who keep going shirtless etc. I also do have to wonder, they keep making these posts about wanting a husband. With so much visibility, surely they could easily find a husband? I mean cmon some of us are struggling out here. It makes me wonder if they’re really looking for a husband or just male attention from making these posts. Rant over.
