    Transubstantiation

    Hey Chanter! Thanks for the reply. I knew you gave reverance etc I was meaning specifically prayer before the Taberbnacle - not sure if you are familiar with this practice in Catholicism. I think I got from your reply that you show reverance to the Tabernacle just as we do but that you do not...

    Transubstantiation

    I have a question guys... I hope we wont get hung up on semantics. So let us agree on "real presence" in the Eucharist. OK... I suspect Orthodox do not believe in what we Catholics term Eucharistic adoration. Am I wrong or just misinformed? Thanks for the answer - may we all pray for...

    Catholicism and orthodoxy

    Roger - I don't want to derail your discussion but Michelina has hit on some fundamental issues here. Authority and how that relates to Sola Scriptura and Tradition. How the Canon of the NT came about was the holy Spirit acting through sinful fallible men in an INFALLIBLE way. These...

    May I ask for your perspective/thoughts?

    Suzannah HI! WOnderful treatment of this subject in a new book from a Protestant author who actually left the Catholic Church but still found the subject interesting (I believe he is a Prof of Sociology or anthropology - one of the two) enough to write a whole book about. "The New...

    Hello all, quick question...

    Cardinal Newman put it this way in an essay on inspiration first published in 1884: "Surely then, if the revelations and lessons in Scripture are addressed to us personally and practically, the presence among us of a formal judge and standing expositor of its words is imperative. It is...

    Hello all, quick question...

    Ahh... I forgot the exact thing Skripper brought up!!! Thanks Skrip! I think many Prots think we can never interp things at all. More often we have a range of "acceptable" interps and some that are not acceptable as the violate precepts of our faith. I should also mention that although we...

    Hello all, quick question...

I got lambated for this entire thing over at christianity.com - the section respects their monotheism, describes that what thruth there is in their religion is good and we should regard what thruth there is (e.g. monotheism)...

    Biblical Corruption & Christianity [True Christianity - Catholic!]

    Hi Am_Hasefer! This is a wonderful topic actually. I appreciate Apostolic Tradition in both the Catholic and Orthodox faiths so much PRECISELY because of this broad topic of apparent "contradictions". When we Catholics read the Bible we do not simply throw something out and dismiss it with a...
