    If you bury your son on Saturday...

    How long should a person wait? What's the rule?

    If you bury your son on Saturday...

    By what authority are you judging his actions? Are you his spiritual director? Did you see his emotion during the game? Did you hear him at the press conference afterwards? Do you know anything about him other than that the youngest of his six children, a three-month old, died in his sleep...

    If you bury your son on Saturday...

    BAFRIEND, calm down. What do you know about the situation? Did the wife ask him not to play? Did the wife sit at home crying unconsolably -- if only her husband had been there! -- on Sunday? Perhaps the kicker did not want to let his team down. He said afterword in an interview that he was...

    NAB, is this the catholic bible in the US?

    Yes, it does. And if you are planning on reading the Bible (like a book, cover-to-cover), I recommend you don't. Because you'll get to Leviticus and be bored to tears. Read a series of 14 narrative books: Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, Ezra, Nehemiah...

    NAB, is this the catholic bible in the US?

    I would prefer to have the RSV-2CE used for the readings at Mass. It is a great translation, more literal than dynamic, thoroughly Catholic. The NAB that you buy is not identical to the NAB that you hear at Mass, which is quite a shame; the NAB had to be revised and amended for it to be fit...

    Venerate frustation with Catholics

    No relationship with Mary can ever take the place of or supersede a relationship with Jesus Christ. However, if we know Jesus, and we know his Father, why should we not also know his mother? As for intercession, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking our fellow brethren in Christ to...

    Venerate frustation with Catholics

    Not only does it mean that, but it means that state of being filled with grace is continuing into the future. Also, it is almost as if "kecharitomene" is not just an adjective applied to Mary, but a new name given her by God.

    How to contact the Synod of Bishops' General Secretary?

    Thank you very much. Perhaps you can give me guidance in regards to my inquiry. I want to write to the Archbishop (or perhaps an American Bishop who is taking part in the assembly of the 2008 Synod of Bishops) about the lineamenta they have published on "The Word of God in the Life and Mission...

    True Catholic Ecumenism

    This excerpt is from Communionis Notio, a Curial Letter "On Some Aspects of the Church Understood as Communion" sent by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) in 1992 to Bishops around the world. If the sentiment sounds familiar, that's because this document was quoted from in the...

    Catholic Priests says Hindus and Muslims are saved!

    [/B] This is Eucharistic Prayer for Various Needs III, subtitled "Jesus, Way to the Father". It would seem absurd to hijack this Eucharistic Prayer in an overly-ecumenical way. The underlined portions of this part of the prayer make it clear that the Church is to fulfill the commandment given...

    Catholic Priests says Hindus and Muslims are saved!

    It's a valid question. stivvy said "Scripture says ignorance is not instant damnation" and archangelmichael requested to know which Scripture that was. If it's not in Scripture, one shouldn't say it is.
