    Why am I married?

    meh, I guess since I'm not married I don't find the humor in bashing the beautiful vocation of marriage I know I have been called too. If anyone actually agrees with any of them, I feel bad for you. I realized my vocation while in deep prayer over the matter in March. As I asked and begged God...

    Is my Baptism Valid?

    I am going to be confirmed Catholic...eventually. All if God's time! I was baptized in the Baptist faith in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. However, I have heard that a baptism is only valid if the baptism was seen as having the same effects of a Catholic baptism(forgiving of...

    Who was assaulted by a christian from their church

    My youth pastor, who was also the pastor's son, was my abuser. I wasn't the first and I wasn't the last. Last I heard he became and pastor and has a church of his own now. I tried to tell and the pastor made up lies and called me names. No one would believe me.

    The #1 reason I hate the holidays

    I definitely understand. My family is turning their back on me slowly since I am converting to a different denomination. However, they refuse to believe I am still a Christian. Thanksgiving was awful and I refuse to go back for Christmas. Which means I will more than likely be alone. The past...

    Faith and Mood Swings

    Well, I'm in the process of converting from one denomination to another, but I am very strong in my new faith and I find yes usually the only times I begin to question anything is in times of weakness and hard times mentally. Usually when I'm manic and not exactly stable mind wise anyway.

    The one they wrote and put together. Which is the same one you use.

    Help Me I Have Nowhere Else To Go!!!!!

    Definitely tell her! Basing your relationship on lies is not stable ground. It will just get worse. If you keep this from her then you will be tempted to keep any other mistakes you make from her as well. If you expect this to be a long term relationship, you can't treat it like a simple fling...

    Are pro-choicers rude?

    All I have to say is: If you are pro-choice you cannot be Catholic. Yes, you can delude yourself into thinking you are, but in reality you are promoting murder of innocent lives and no ture Catholic or true Christian for that matter is pro choice. They are simply playing Christian because they...

    Bipolar and Catholic

    Thank you all very much. I feel better about my choice. I was diagnosed wrong at first and am currently following doctors orders to wean myself off my anti depressant, since it only increases symptoms for those with bipolar. So I will be on the proper meds soon. Its just so hard when my symptoms...

    Bipolar and Catholic

    Hello everyone. I am bipolar and yesterday wanted to go to Mass. I am manic right now and realized once I got there that there was no way I would be able to sit still. So, I sat in the cry room for as long as I could concentrate and when I no longer could walked around the church grounds(with my...

    Bipoloar drug experiences.

    Very true. My doctor gave me 2 weeks of meds for free to give me time to get my insurance worked out. The pharmacy told me the drug companies that help people get their meds for free or low cost can take up to 6 weeks. If I can't get prescription coverage thats what I plan to do. Found out...

    Bipoloar drug experiences.

    Thank you very much. The test was just a questionare about past events/symptoms and whether or not I've had them. Mainly it just determines if you have mania. Its some sort of approved medical test that the doctor told me is 93% reliable.
