    On death, heaven, and hell

    Miles that was a lovely post. As a Byzantine Catholic I often have difficulty relating to the Latin rite to me they are very legalistic. That is not how I was raised and cathticasized.

    Mom's Italian Kitchen

    Yeah I tried it once, it was a total fail. I do make a mean from scratch dumpling and by dumpling I mean big fat egg noodles not those puffy round abominations.

    Mom's Italian Kitchen

    That does sound good, my husband makes a mean lassanga that uses less ricotta than usual and I like it so I bet I would like your recipe. This tread is making me hungry for my homemade from scratch spaghetti sauce it is pretty time consuming so I haven't made it since we brought our son home.

    Mom's Italian Kitchen

    I gotta call it like I see it, national pride aside Italian cuisine is way better than German in general. I like any Italian food that doesn't have ricotta cheese in it (I really hate ricotta).

    Obama Calls Catholic Schools "Divisive"

    Well I'm pretty liberal about everything except abortion so if it was true that 0bama was trying to indoctrinate our kids via the public school system, which I don't think he is, I doubt I would have a problem with it. I expect that my child will be exposed to different values and points of...

    R.I.P. 'Tony'...

    I was so sorry to hear this, even more so because of his age, 51, and that he has a young child.

    Obama Calls Catholic Schools "Divisive"

    Yes, we had many non Catholics in pur school too. Since it was our parish' s school, it closed many years ago, it was affordable for my parents, non parishioners paid considerably more. My father, a protestant and public school teacher did not feel that the specific public school that I would...

    Should a Catholic attend a "re-baptism"?

    I have many protestant friends and relative including my husband I would be honored to be invited to attend their baptism but if they had previously been baptized in the Catholic church would probably decline. I hope it never comes up.

    Obama Calls Catholic Schools "Divisive"

    This is one of those things that could happen in theory but rarely or not all happens in real life. I went to our parish' s school (K-8) I never found this to be true but I was glad to go to a public high school. I will not send my son to private school religion or secular although it don't...

    Becoming Catholic and Maintaining Marital Harmony

    I haven't found it to be a problem in my marriage. My husband is a non denominational born again Christian and we attended church separately and together, some Sundays we would go to both. What religion the children are raised in could be an issue with some. Our son was Baptized and Chrismsted...

    What happened to the Liberal Catholic forum???

    I used to post on that board occasionally and it was said to have been closed due to low activity. It was a safe place to bounce ideas around, I miss it. Out of the four Catholic message boards I have been on this is the least hostile toward more progressive opinions. On the others every one...

    Real Actors Read Christian Forums Posts ....

    I know a Charlie, I fight unflattering thoughts about things my fellow Christian say and do all the time, not here but in real life or on tv, it makes me feel like a jerk. I go to my husband's church sometimes, they are born again, evangelical, well let's say it's different from our liturgy...
