    Patrick J. Conroy Jesuit priest Ousted from House of Representatives

    I think that's good. Paul Ryan made some allegations that he wasn't doing his job , something that Fr. Conroy disputed. Maybe now, we can see the truth of the matter, and learn whether or not his prayers for the poor were an issue.

    Patrick J. Conroy Jesuit priest Ousted from House of Representatives

    Well, I don't support abortion, but I have no idea why feminism would be considered a Nazi thing. I consider myself a feminist, albeit a pro life one. I don't hate authority, but I disagree with the things that our current administration is doing. I don't believe taxation is theft, and think...

    The Redistribution of Sex

    There's a touch of incel philosophy here, thinkng of women as a commodity and worrying about if they are distributed fairly, instead of individual beings entitled to making their own choices.

    Patrick J. Conroy Jesuit priest Ousted from House of Representatives

    No, I'd like to think a Catholic can be on the left on most issues while still remaining Catholic. Why would I want to hear that I hold two incompatible world views?

    Patrick J. Conroy Jesuit priest Ousted from House of Representatives

    Party over faith anymore....if a conservative Republican fires a Jesuit for praying for the poor, it's clearly the Jesuit's fault. Now there are Republicans suggesting a Catholic isn't suitable in that position, and they must be right because they are on the right. It seems that under no...

    Vegetarians check in here

    I don't come here much anymore, my home forum was deleted as the whole place has continuously moved to the right, and there's no place here for people like me. I check in every once in a while, but with less and less frequency

    *Catholic Forum* Struggles and Joys

    I went on a pilgrimage with my sons and many members of our community on Holy Thursday in which we walked from church to church, stopping to pray and for benediction at each. I learned it was a tradition my grandmother had participated in as well. Luckily, although i live I a small town, there...

    Have you ever had your DNA tested?

    I did because I'm adopted and knew nothing of my ethnicity....after 50 years I got a bit curious. Ancestry also connected me to a cousin and maybe a name of a birth father. Kinda a weird thing

    Why Does Trump Have So Many Atheist, Agnostic, or Other Religion Detractors?

    To the original post, I have noticed at least one non-Christian religion that is thriving under Trump, and seems to have drawn some Christian Trump supporters I know away from their original faith. It's a branch of Heathenism called Folkish. In a nutshell, it seems that there's been a division...

    "Universal Values" or Western exceptionalism?

    I agree with the lack of a concept of universal values throughout history, and in fact it is why I tended to think Mere Christianity failed to make a convincing case for Christianity....his argument centered around the idea of all humanity following such a set of values which he believed...

    Melania Trump wants children to eat more healthily

    I agree as well, but I felt the same way when Michelle Obama took up the cause, and I don't understand why she was insulted by so many for doing so.

    Isn't it also true that Trump does not believe in the health benefits of exercise?

    Oh, I see it's already closed....I'd been sharing things regarding my father's illness and wanted to share with all those who had been so supportive that he has passed this morning. I'll miss the folks there, a supportive bunch. If there' any way to reopen my threads about my dad for this...
