My work and study load is increasing and I can no longer spare time for visiting OBOB. In the short time I have been visiting here I have been delighted by the strong sense of community on this forum and the many new friendships that I've made. It is my hope that you all will be blessed in...

There is so much I could say about this thread, but I won't. After years of my own struggle as well as working as a social worker for the Mental Health Service I'm very aware of how being 'deviant' can make life difficult for those who are driven by different urges to the norm. The only answer...

Rape is rape Dr Pepper, it is never 'Ok' no matter who does it. However the wickedness in this rape was that it was done to 'teach' the unfortunate woman victim a 'lesson'. Count yourself lucky that I was not standing behind you looking over your shoulder when you named her a 'lesbo'. As it...

Please forgive me for the comment, but to become an Episcopalian after being a Catholic would be like chosing to wear a Chinese made Rolex instead of the real thing.

None, because the Beloved Children of Christ+ do not kill or bring war to other human beings. I pray for those at the point of death, it's my vocation. Thanks, but no thanks to all warmongers everywhere for keeping me in a job.

Monica, - sweet Child of Christ, - do not for one moment doubt the writings of the Saint and the Marian Theology that he bore witness to for the sake of Our Most Blessed Lady so that her Son+ might be glorified. The Charism of my own Religious Congregation, the 'Little Company of Mary' is...

I can remember the moment when I was kneeling in one of the pews in my childhood parish church during the Anglican communion service watching the blessing of the bread and wine and the thought suddenly struck me like a slap on the face, 'They have no reverence for Christ+. They do not believe...

Yes we must always pray for those who commit such wicked acts. I forgave my own assailant some years ago now. To nurse a flame of hatred within one's own bosom is to risk becoming burned yourself by its fierce heat.

Christ+ have mercy. I am apalled and deeply saddened, I shall pray for this woman. It is easy to pass comment and say, 'So what,' and talk about whether this attack or that attack against these folk or those folk is the more terrible, or whether the Martyrs got it worse; BUT the fact remains...

The only law I am talking about is God's law Aesjn, and yes God+ will hold them accountable for their sins. What the actual law of the land might be is not what I am debating, - I cannot agree with any civil law which would lead to inhumane treatment of any persons, - so please don't think I am...

Oops sorry, I should have said Isabella :blush::sorry:

Being Gay or Homosexual is not a sin Aesjn, acting upon the urge to engage in Homosexual sexual acts is the sin.

It doesn't matter how the unbelievers see it, or whether or not they believe in the Bible it is still wrong. As for accountability there are indeed victims even in consenting homosexual intercourse. It takes two people to have homosexual intercourse and each of them has been complicit in the...

Now that was a wasted hour wasn't it? It took me all of 3 seconds to determine that that particular band of painted clowns (and may all genuine clowns forgive me for taking their profession in vain) were no more than tacky noisy sodomites on a fast train to Hell.

For myself as a convert to the Catholic Faith it is the security of now being a member of a Church that has deep unbroken roots that reach all the way back to the time of Jesus's Ministry here on earth. As a cradle Anglican I always felt as if I only had a part of the truth, a not particularly...

Oh this is wonderful - at last I can make searches without awful digusting links turning up. Thankyou soooooooooo much Google people.

It's a sweet and lovely story Monica. It pressed my 'Joy in Christ+' button and gave me a warm glow inside.

Would you like a broom to go with that sweeping statement? You obviously haven't met some of the cloistered Sisters that I've met and spoken to Fantine, - the sun literally shone out of their faces. Oh and just as a btw I've been gently reminded that I'm member of a Religious Congregation not...

At this time of year I find myself thinking of Mary heavily pregnant and riding on that donkey. That would have neither been comfortable or pleasant, but Our Lady did it without complaining. Think of it, every jolt on the road, being swayed about on the back of the donkey, - and even just...

Thankyou - at last somebody has put the pure light of God+ and the Church on the subject. Homosexual marriage is a cruel and wicked parody of what is a Holy Sacrement of the Church. As a Lesbian woman who married so I could have children I've been through a few trials and heartaches, but my...
