    UK’s top Catholic bishop endorses gay civil unions despite Vatican condemnation

    Well, perhaps that was bad wording on my part- I apologise. Let's just say that I respect him as a Bishop, but I also completely disagree with him on a lot of things. For example, he also oversees a Mass in London for people actively living the gay-lifestyle and encourages them to partake in...

    UK’s top Catholic bishop endorses gay civil unions despite Vatican condemnation

    Yeah, but this is the head of the Catholic church in England and Wales. The head. Is it wrong to want the guy at the top to be a little more-- hm, orthodox? This isn't the first thing he's said or done that's contrary to church teaching, and probably won't be the last, either.

    Sacrifice and Vocation

    Do you think that a person's true vocation should require the most sacrifice from them? Now, I'm a woman (yeah, bear with me here..), who has never had any desire to get married or have children, or to even be in a relationship with anyone. When I was younger, I always thought the desire...

    Just wondering

    Speaking for myself, I have better things to do than dwell on when Jesus is coming back and read into "signs" about when that will be. He said Himself, no one knows. I just prefer to live out a good a Christian life as I can and when He returns, if I'm alive, I shall see Him then. I don't...

    UK’s top Catholic bishop endorses gay civil unions despite Vatican condemnation

    He's been in support of same-sex couples for ages, so this is no real surprise.

    Just wondering

    This is what I think, too. Some people can get quite obsessive about it and I don't think it's healthy. :sorry:

    Introduce Yourself (2)

    Hey! :wave: I'm Lakatide (not really, obviously, but you know what I mean). I live in one of the larger cities in England, UK. I'm a Catholic Christian. :) I haven't been a Christian more than a few years, but it's been very good so far (understatement of a life-time). *nods* Like all...

    Celibacy

    I believe that I could be; I have no real desire to get married or have children. And I regularly give thought to joining a contemplative community.

    Most Embarrassing Moment...

    The one where I thought all modern day KJV bibles were in still 17th century English. :doh: That was pretty bad, but to be fair- all of the ones I've come across in real-life have been in the old English. :o:sorry:

    Should Christian women wear bikinis?

    I think it's a personal choice. I'm sure that when a man sees a beautiful woman in a bikini his first thought is not "Wow, I bet she has a great personality." So, personally, I prefer something more modest. In my opinion, there's plenty of modest swim wear out there that is both functional and...

    Why do you go to church?

    You're totally right: God is everywhere. As a Catholic Christian, I believe the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is, however, not. And so I go to hear the Word of God, spend time with God, and receive the Body and Blood of Christ, if I am in a state of grace. That is something that I...

    Bishop’s decree: Stop holding hands during the Our Father...

    Must be an American thing. :sorry: I've been to Mass in plenty of places over here and never once encountered this. :scratch:

    Pope calls for a global authority on the world economy.

    I assume he thinks the Pope is the anti-christ (as that's a common belief amongst SDAs and some other denominations) and that it's a sign-- as well as the other things he listed-- that we're entering the end-times and we should all be making for our under-ground bunkers, so to speak.
