    Was Jesus God?

    Right, the Trinity. God the Father, the son, and the holy ghost. That doesn't mean Jesus (the Son) is the Trinity, it means he is one of the three parts of the Trinity, the Triune God.

    Hail Mary Full of Grace

    Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen

    According to Catholicism, what must one believe and do to be saved?

    That's an observation that I had not thought of. As a former Methodist myself (baptized in the UMC) I understand what you mean. Broadly, many (most?) Evangelical prayers of repentance are something along the lines of "Jesus forgive me for the sins that I have committed" and that's about it, I...

    According to Catholicism, what must one believe and do to be saved?

    The Pope would give the correct and Catholic answer, which is directly in line with what Jesus taught us and what the Bible teaches. Someone might ask him just as they might ask their pastor or other teacher. Whoever asks someone else for help or clarification on a question is not asking that...

    Coming home

    I don't mind you asking at all. :) The short version is that I was raised in a non-Denominational home with Baptist and Pentecostal leanings. In high school and college I went to a large UMC church. I was drawn to the Apostolic churches in those same years, investigating both the EO, RCC and...

    Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople showing respect to Pope Leo XIV during Catholic Mass

    I agree, most Orthodox bodies have a corresponding ECC. The whole idea of national Orthodox churches causes issues, as can be seen currently with Russia and the EP and the mess in Ukraine.

    Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople showing respect to Pope Leo XIV during Catholic Mass

    And the sentiment and thoughts of people like the ones quoted show that. Orthodoxy has little interest in working out the differences and having full communion.

    Coming home

    Thank you, I know that we had some conversations in the past, about issues with the church and hesitation to ever coming back, and honestly, this feels so good to be back. Pope Leo is such a breath of fresh air into the church that it is amazing to see. I know that, as Catholics, we are supposed...

    Coming home

    Greetings! After years of searching and praying I am coming full circle in my head and in person to the Catholic Church. I still have personal issues due to my previous divorce and subsequent remarriage, but I can participate in the Mass and Catholic lifecycle events much as I did for nearly 10...

    People love the Catholic Church…

    It is rather fascinating to see how interested people seem to be, at least in the USA. The interest was there before we knew an American was elected, so it isn't that. I fear that many were interested because they hope that a more "woke" man would be elected than Pope Francis and they feel that...
