    How do you Pray the Rosary?

    TheDonBar, the rosary helped to bring me into the Church, and it has brought me back. Regardless of how I feel about the Church on any given day, the rosary remains an inspiration to me. I highly recommend trying it, even if you have trouble saying a "complete" rosary at first. It really...

    Two Priest arrested for have sex in a car in broad daylight

    I agree with you; I've accused no one. I simply refuse to assume the innocence of anyone. Being able to rely upon the Church to act swiftly and decisively in any such case would allow me to be more charitable in my thoughts.

    Cardinal Wuerl met privately with Pope Francis last Thursday, says source

    So it's true: Wuerl fled the US, lest he be subpoenaed.

    Two Priest arrested for have sex in a car in broad daylight

    No one should be locked up without proof, but if I suspect my neighbor of being a child molester, I am not going to let my kids play with him, regardless of whether he's been convicted or not. I am not a court of law.

    Two Priest arrested for have sex in a car in broad daylight

    Agreed; my faith remains in God, but I do not trust any earthly institutions further than I can throw them. I am of a suspicious nature to start, but these times especially require suspicion. When rot spreads throughout a tree, safety requires suspicion of every branch which hangs over the crib...

    Two Priest arrested for have sex in a car in broad daylight

    To reserve judgment and not compliment anyone that I'm not certain isn't a rank heretic or sexual molester in this climate of widespread heresy and sexual abuse of children? Yes. I'm not blaming any innocent people. If there were any priests that I were 100% absolutely certain were faithful...

    Two Priest arrested for have sex in a car in broad daylight

    The only priests you can give a word of support to are the ones who haven't been caught... yet. I honestly don't feel confident giving any priest a word of support. Some of the bad priests gave no indication that they were bad. You don't always know which ones are bad by any obvious indicators.

    The tragic and twisted characters who made "gay" normal. And one was a Catholic priest...

    One thing I wasn't joking about: there are actually signs up in the buses where I live informing the public that gay conversion therapy is illegal.

    The tragic and twisted characters who made "gay" normal. And one was a Catholic priest...

    Rhamiel, you are hereby ordered to report for reprogramming, as you seem to have "forgotten" the Orthodox Secular article of faith which tells us that sexuality is completely unchangeable (indeed, one sacred hymn of Lady Gaga tells us that they are "born [that] way") but that gender is...

    Pope Francis on letter accusing him of covering up abuses

    What harm would there have been in saying, "The allegations are untrue."? Instead it sounds as though he wants to talk to a lawyer before going on record, which increases suspicion.

    So what happens next? Here are 11 predictions, and some marching orders

    That's interesting phrasing: "conservatives and moderates." That means that neither side is progressive or liberal. It basically says that you're either a moderate or an extremist. That kind of language is biased in and of itself. I rather see it as a conflict between the orthodox and the...

    Thanks for posting all the info you post, Michie, but especially thanks for posting this right now. I'm really struggling with how to handle this, in addition to other things going on in my life.

    It's Bad When the New York Times Defends the Pope

    I am of the opinion that the New York Times is opposed to almost everything contained within the orthodox teachings of the Church, so when that newspaper defends the Pope, I tend not to think that it's a good thing. It seems to me that in any other circumstance, they'd be castigating anyone...

    "Gay" priests? An open letter to Fr. James Martin

    A very long time ago, I expressed the belief (on this very board) that there was no problem with having gay priests so long as they observed their vows of celibacy. It was at that time helpfully pointed out to me that gay priests, living as they do in extensive same-sex living conditions, would...

    God bless you, PopeFrancis

    I am honestly confused by those somehow equating the killing of an innocent in the womb with the state-sanctioned execution of an adult who has been found guilty of premeditated murder or other heinous crime. The two do not seem at all analogous to me. I believe that we can have a "consistent...

    Active homosexuality in the priesthood helped cause this crisis

    While the entire crisis cannot be laid at the feet of homosexuals, we cannot dismiss the fact of a much larger problem which is homosexual in origin.
