    When people, especially and mostly guys, don't have the awareness or courtesy to wipe their imprint or *hair* off of the toilet seat at the workplace.

    I'm struggling to keep my Catholic faith.

    Michie my wife and I understand how you feel. All I can do sometimes is think about our roots in the days of Pentecost as I despise the industrial machine our world has become. Our Church is spread so large and so thin across this plain of thorns. All we have in the world today are false hopes...

    What you need to know about the antichrist according to Bl. John Henry Newman

    I have come to accept that obsession is a trait of my personality. Obsession has been the driving force behind many of my accomplishments, including my conversion to Catholicism. My obsession with the apocalypse serves only to increase my longing for the Lord and to be a better Christian. I...

    What you need to know about the antichrist according to Bl. John Henry Newman

    I am obsessed with collapse and the end times. This quote from the article really spoke to me: "Surely, with this prospect before us, we cannot bear to give ourselves up to thoughts of ease and comfort, of making money, settling well, or rising in the world."

    The Great Apostasy

    You point out some good things Rhamiel. The Scriptures prophesy of the battle of evil against the Holy Spirit throughout all of time, especially since Christ founded the Church; I would contend, though, that the Church did nothing but grow from that time onward until recently, and that we are...

    Political correctness is totalitarian ideology

    As far as I see it, "political correctness" is not the same as "just being a nice person," because there is actually a "nice guy" trope in the PC movement. If you don't fully and humbly grovel and plead forgiveness in response to someone's ire or out of control emotions, and instead ask for calm...
