Artificial Contraception interferes with the marital act, and places a barrier (no pun intended) between the Husband and Wife, and reduces the act to physical pleasure, by removing from the act the primary purpose of the act. Contraception and Abortion are both sins involving pregnancies or...

Anyone know of a good, solid catholic church in Manhattan? I'm looking for a place in Manhattan to go to daily mass for a couple of days, either the Extraordinary or Ordinary forms.

So, in my Bioethics class we are talking about Contraception today, tomorrow and the day after. I raised the point that as a Catholic, I am opposed to contraception. I explained why we do not accept contraception, and I gave Natural Family Planning as a form of "natural birth control," that...

My fiance and I are getting married in about a year. I have, over the past couple of months, begun to wonder if we are indeed meant for each other. I honestly do not know. We've nearly broken up several times, over important issues. We have different morals, we have different thoughts on family...

I have sinned. :cry: I have violated not only my relationship with God. But I have violated the trust of others. And yet God is merciful. :crossrc: Have mercy on me, O God, after your great goodness. May I never fall again.

So, anyone have any advice for the dreaded* "asking for her hand talk"? * I say dreaded possibly because my fiancees's father will want to talk about it.

Yes, you're right. Arwen wants to wear the ring as opposed to throwing it into Mount Doom. Me, I'm just Sam, so..... Ehh, We'll make it work! :)

So, I learned that this girl I went to high school with had three abortions within two months, and the last one screwed her up really bad. She has an infection (in addition to Gonorrhea and herpes) and now cannot bear children. Please pray for her and her childrens' souls. Question. How...

So, my fiancee and I found the ring that I will give her when we formally announce our engagement. http://www.celtic-weddingrings.com/Celtic-Engagement-Rings/Sapphire-Engagement-Ring-P387.html We had hoped to use a family ring, but that is no longer available to us.

Thanks. Could you please pass the butter as well?

So, I'm back. What'd I miss? (other than the new look)

So, I know we're supposed to have a spirituality that incorporates the entirety of our faith. But I've noticed that lately, I've been focusing a lot on the Divine Mercy devotions and the Jesus Prayer. The Good Friday Liturgy was also very moving. And Confession, oh my goodness, is that...

I need to go to confession. I seriously feel like I'm in a rut, and spiritually ill. I've been so stressed for the past eight months, and I haven't given God all I could. I really haven't. Rather, I've grown steadily more depressed, and more withdrawn, and my entire life has suffered. But ever...

First off, this isn't a debate thread, but I would like to know why some people make fun of those who support Ron Paul in the Republican Primary. I understand you don't like him, and that's fine. I don't like some of the other guys, but I'm not calling their supporters goons, or saying that they...

Please, lets not get into politics here. + May she rest in peace, and rise in Glory. Amen.

I did. I volunteered, because I get paid time and a half. ;) Then, I get to go to mass, and then home to family, so... Cool!

We're talking girls I know personally, some that I've known for years.

I try to be.

So, I've had two girls call me sweet in the last six hours. Four total, recently. So, why don't I have a girlfriend? ;) I'm not complaining (much) cause I can't afford one right now, but come on... :D
