    Cardinal Dolan Says "Bravo" to Gay Football Player Michael Sam

    Actually the Church teachings are very clear. Being gay is not a sin. Dolan is right that we should not judge the man for being gay. However, homosexual sex has been and always will be a mortal sin and Jesus Christ will judge those who engaging in homosexual sex. Ran

    Infant Mortality Rate in US

    I hope you are right but I don't have much hope myself. At this point I'm not willing to openly associate Obama Care with better health care. Looks like Obama Care will force the price of health care to go way up, which will mean less money for real things kids need to survive, like quality...

    Serious question (NOT intended to flame)

    The single reason is Jesus Christ. Holy Tradition, which is the Word of God, declares that only men may be priest. This is dogma of the Catholic Church. No Pope, including Saint Peter, has ever had the authority to change the dogma of the Catholic Church. To change dogma one would have to...

    Thomas You need to read something other than Protestant junk history. Suggestion: There is this really neat stuff call "Primary Source" that you could consult. You know, the actual historical documents? I suggest you start with the writings of the Church Fathers. "To be deep in...

    Southern Baptists Unhappy with the Pope

    Normally I don't think much of what the Baptist think. The problem is that the Baptist are having the same concerns as many Catholics. Lately the Pope has been sounding very much like a typical left-wing Jesuit priest. What next? Is the Pope coming to the US to tour with the New Age Nuns on...

    Pope Francis says Roman Curia must be less ‘Vatican-centric’

    That is what the Jesuit have been doing for 50+ years. Total failure. But that is what the Jesuit do.

    Absolute Depravity in the Heartland

    Not so, I have owned and carried weapons most of my life and I am not in any way desensitized to life and death. If a person is desensitized to life it is because of who they were raised, please don't lump me in with thugs who were never taught Christian values and morality. Ran

    Archbishop Sartain, as Vatican delegate, tells LCWR he comes as a friend

    Evolution and Catholicism and the Classroom....what say you?

    While in graduate school at a major Catholic University I work as a teaching assistant and helped teach several evolution classes. No big deal. By the way, the basic steps in the Theory of Evolution match the basic steps in the Book of Genesis. Father of genetics: Catholic priest Gregor...

    Why do they even remain Catholic?

    Yes, do not leave the Catholic Church and do pray and receive the sacraments. Everyone should be Catholic! If you don't understand why homosexual acts are a mortal sin then it is clear that you do not fully understand the Catholic faith (I don't either). That is an educational issue! Trust...

    End times?

    As someone else has already noted, the protestant view of the end times is a false theology. The false theology of good people being sucked up to heaven while bad people are left on earth to face terrible events dates back to only the 1830s. My understanding of Catholic theology (someone...
