You mean “How many women wish their children were dead”? Yes, there are parents like that. We call them homicidal.

Yes, and he was very much opposed to any denial against the real presence in the Eucharist. Read anything he wrote about the Anabaptists, and it’s pretty clear he hated their idea of the Eucharist as much if not more than any philosophy trying to explain it. He sounds very frustrated in...

Martin Luther would scoff at any sort of philosophical understanding of the Eucharist. Christ is in, with, and under the forms of the bread and whine, according to him and the early Lutheran church. In short, it’s a mystery not to be defined in metaphysical terms. I don't think he was a fan of...

Radical southerners I think is a term that fits more aptly. Does the Democrat Party have a racist past? Yes, it has harbored many racist, but there are plenty of Republicans who had fit that bill in the past too. Overall I think it would be fair to say that the KKK was a product of a post civil...

Yes, but isn’t also true that a Maronite priest can not marry after he takes his vows? Why is that?

Not so fast, Jim. President Carter said that the protests against reform were based on racism. He did not say that there was some element inside the movement against reform that was racist, but rather implied it was the major reason for these protests! You argue that this is going to breed...

Maronite, Malankarese, Syriac, Chaldean, Syro-Malabarse, Armenian…and many Many different Byzantine Catholics. It’s a large Church that accepts plenty of rites and Churches. I think it would benefit you to learn a little about the Eastern Churches. I myself have a great deal of respect for...

A Concise History of the Crusades by Professor Thomas Madden. He has also written a good book about the Fourth Crusade. How in the world did this thread balloon out in the hour I was away from my computer?

Well, as much stumbling as I did, I hope it does help. Honestly, I think you need to find a very good pastoral priest to talk to...perhaps a spiritual director of some sort. Your in my prayers, sister. I hope you know that there are a lot of people here that wish you very well. Many of us also...

NO. We are ALL sinners. Even the Pope goes to confession. No one in this day and age is without sin. CCC 386- Sin is present in human history; any attempt to ignore it or to give this dark reality other names would be futile. To try to understand what sin is, one must first recognize the...

1. That’s a matter of faith. When you read the Catechism, the encyclicals of Pope John Paul II and our current Pope, is there anything that you find that is in error? There is error and betrayal within the Church…always will be [Matthew 13:24-43]. Remember that even one of Jesus Christ’s own...

Yep. More than likely this would be against their Catholic faith, because the God parents who are Catholic must ensure they are instructed in that faith they profess to. It's likely they themselves are not clear about this, so it might also be best for them to talk to their own priest as well...

The Church already has unity? Silly? Can you expand on that a little? If this is all 'silly', than a lot of Church leaders are wasting a lot of time in ecumenical talks.

O my God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured. Amen.

And?

/sarcasm off

Not so much her oath of office as her allegiance to leftist dogma. And hey, she's been rewarded for her loyalty threw her recent appointment by the current administration. She put the teachings of her faith to the curb, played ball with the kicking donkey, and now has an opportunity to further...

Now let’s apply your statement to another pressing issue from our American past, shall we? Ah, yes. Different era. Different issue. Same gutless double speak.

Compared to your mild attack on the Holy Father? You'd rather his statement be full of fluff here in OBOB? I mean, my word *gasp*, the young man believes in his faith. Good grief. General theology is on the door to your left, buddy.
