    Is Scripture Infallible?

    If Scripture were infallible, then you could possibly expect an answer if you asked it a question. If it were inerrant, then you could refer to it confident that it contained nothing but Truth. So, is Scripture infallible? I am interested in different views, but I don't think that I have...

    Wait a minute! These aren't Catholics!!!

    So, how many times have you accidentally went to the Anglican forum now that their title has "Catholic" in it? I keep doing it. Then I read around, get confused, and realize what happened. (I read around before leaving.) It's just a little frustrating for us uncautious OBOBers, but I did...

    How to meet Catholics in Chicago???

    So, I am a student in a big city with a lot of Catholics, but I don't really know that many other Catholics. I would like to know more people to hang out with, do Catholic things with, and I concerned that I don't know any good Catholic girls around here. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    ~*~heist~*~

    23,944,410 Blessings. Those are the current holdings of the Christian Forums Bank. Just think of how many Holy Grails that will buy! I'm not saying it'll be easy, but I'm saying we got a shot. I need ten other men (or ladies) to pull this job off. If we succeed, that's over 2 million...

    Need expert in letters on altars

    So, I was in a new church yesterday, and I noticed two side altars. One had a statue of St. Joseph and had an "S" and a "J" written over each other on the altar. That obviously stands for "Saint Joseph." But the other altar had a statue of Mary and an "A" and an "M." I spent a lot of time...

    Affirmative Action in the Conclave

    First, I would like to say that this critique is in no way meant to show any opinion of affirmative action in its traditional application. As someone with a slight conservative bent in many areas, I do not want to over-emphasize the shortcomings of affirmative action. In many ways, it has been...

    So this is the absolute last chance that I can possibly get away with saying this for another year: Merry Christmas!

    Real Presence not cannibalism

    Hey, so this has probably been brought up before, but someone asked how the Catholic Church can prohibit cannibalism but still believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. Any thoughts? I had a few ideas: -Does the Church really prohibit cannibalism? -Is it intrinsically wrong...

    Hispanics turn out for Republicans

    I just heard that 50% of young Hispanic voters voted Republican. Historically, Hispanics have been strongly Democratic. It looks like Catholics are going Republican more and more.

    Tomorrow ought to be fun. I probably be spending the entire day, up to the last minute, trying to figure out which one to choose.

    Whose to say?

    So, I've been hearing a lot lately from different Catholic sources that it is not the place of the Church to say whether a war is moral or not. Can anyone expand upon this?

    Last Rites

    Anyone know much about the last rites (confession, viaticum, annointing)? I was reading and found out some very interesting things. 1) If the person is unconscious, the priest can forgive his/her sins without a confession. 2) The priest gives an "Apostolic Blessing", which acts as a...
