Rhamiel really hit the nail on the head but I will throw my own spin as to why I chose the Catholic Church over the Orthodox Churches. I believe the major deciding factor between the CC and the EOC is Papal authority. A big part of my conversion had to do with what the Early Church taught and...

let me float this idea out and see where it goes.. Maybe I missed the part that makes this not a possibility but what if the victim here is not telling the truth about confessing this to the priest? Maybe the priest did not have anything to report and in effect that are asking him to reveal a...

Thanks everyone for the replies! I will start with the diocesan office.

Anyone have advice on how to find a spiritual adviser? I live in an area where Catholic churches are few in far between and priests are even fewer (Southeast Kentucky) and so I do not know many priests. Should I just start asking priests that are in the area or what? I really don't know how to...

I present to you for consideration 2nd Timothy 1:16-18 "May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus because he often gave me new heart and was not ashamed of my chains. But when he came to Rome, he promptly searched for me and found me. May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the...

In my study's I found this parallel between Matthew 16:18-19 and Isaiah 22:15-25. Ive never heard this argument made until I was listening to a Scott Hahn audio. Matthew 16:18-19 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not...

Praying for you. I hope you find sleep easier tonight.

You'll have to read Hebrews Chapter 11 to get some of the context on this verse for yourself but Hebrews 12:1 says: "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with...

Anyone familiar with this? From what I understand it is a provision that if granted allows a person that was in a marriage between a non baptized person and a baptized person to have there marriage dissolved in the interest of faith. EDIT: I goofed on the title it should be Petrine privilege...

This will be interesting to monitor as the Synod gets closer. Tons of speculation will go on between now and then though. Synod of Bishops will question of Communion for divorced/remarried Catholics, secretary-general confirms : News Headlines - Catholic Culture

Maybe I am reading into this to much but does that read to anyway else like they think the Catholics are going to attack the embassy? I mean I cannot imagine the embassy at the Vatican would have more security concerns than say the embassy in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait.

Oh my bad! Did not see the discussion in the Politics sub-forum. I'm still getting used to things again.. Did not think a politics sub-forum existed when I used to post here in 2005 LOL!

Slap in the face? Or not? Discuss :) Obama’s call to close Vatican embassy is 'slap in the face' to Roman Catholics - Washington Times

Thanks for the link! It has found its way into my bookmarks now

convert... been that way for almost 10 years now I guess.. I guess you could say I was raised semi Baptist or nothing at all. Really did not have any religion til I was 18.. Found my way to the Catholic church. Now I love it and miss Mass when Im not there..

I don't agree with some of President Bush's policy and actions but there is no denying that he is a good and decent man and that every action he took as President was in his mind what was best for the country. God Bless him.

thats an odd request but take it from experience if things are going good now I wouldn't deny any prayers cause things can turn bad pretty quick.

your one of the few people still hanging around here that I remember from when I first started posting here. Congrats!

I think if I were a senator or president like Obama I would choose private school as well. Just for the fact that your kids have a public figure as a father and could be ridiculed for it. Atleast in a private school he would know more about the people and the children that go there... Just my...
