    Help, please. My parents are being brainwashed by Joel Osteen.

    His smile just makes my skin crawl! Avoid this man like the plague. You just need to listen to God and discern things yourself.

    Now that most people are too ignorant to be offended, will Quebec's distinctive...

    I am very happy that the French curse words at least are disappearing. As the son of parents who were from Quebec, I visited that province many times during my youth and heard those words often. I never thought much about them until my return to the faith and at that time was terribly saddened...

    Is Orthodoxy closer to God than any other dogma???

    As for ecumenism, we must remember the words of the Holy Scriptures in Luke 9:49-50. Then John said in reply, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow in our company." Jesus said to him "Do not prevent him, for whoever is not...

    Sinead O'Connor Laughs Off Pope-Killing Fantasies, Blames Own Twitter Followers

    She really needs our prayers. This woman actually thinks she is a valid Catholic priest! May Our Lord help her in every way!

    Similarities between Penn State and Catholic Church

    With CNN I'm not surprised they would say this. Why even bring the Catholic Church up in all of this? Penn State is it's own despicable story. This is just more Catholic bashing if you ask me.

    Catholic or Protestant Bible

    I disagree totally. There is something called the "Apostolic Succession" and I believe it. The one Christian Church that existed in the beginning right after the deaths of the Apostles believed this and taught this truth to the faithful. The writings of the Early Church Fathers abound with this...

    Why so many denominations?

    I don't know, I thought it was pretty right on. Did not Luther mess with the Bible? Did he not go out and get married in direct contradiction to Roman Catholic requirements for the clergy? Yep, he couldn't get the Church to go his way, so he went off alone. He, a mortal man now had the truth...

    Catholic or Protestant Bible

    If the Apostes had "the power and authority" from Christ, then that means that they could give that "power and authority" to others. If not, the whole thing (Christianity) would have died with them. The fact is miracles, spiritual healings and such did not stop with the Apostles, so that tells...

    I wish they would abolish the physical hand of peace

    Passing in a state of Grace, the only way to go!

    Wisconsin bishops ask parishioners not to bring guns to church

    I think that this statement by the Bishops in Wisconsin has just come about because the concealled carry law was just passed. People are all in a dither about it and the anti-gun folks have been going on that "blood will be running in the streets" because of it. This, despite the fact that in...

    Thousands line up to Venerate Holy Belt of the Theotokos!!

    Wow is all I can say! With a line 5k long it is clear that people realize that a spiritual life is very important. While it was not a relic, I remember waiting in line for a long time to view the "Pieta" sculpture. It was sure worth the wait, as it was worth it for those faithful in Russia to...

    Teen Bride Visas

    I read the story. Unbelievable. Nothing wrong about being cultural, but isn't the culture of Austrailia western? Why does the government bend over backwrds to accomodate these people? I don't understand it. It's one thing if someone has been married to a younger woman in their own country and...

    Wisconsin bishops ask parishioners not to bring guns to church

    Oh boy, swords in Church! The only thing I don'rt understand about the Knights is that they are allowed to wear hats in church. I thought that was forbidden for men.

    Wisconsin bishops ask parishioners not to bring guns to church

    That's not what I got from our friend LOCO in their first post on the issue of violence way back in the beginning of this thred. If I remember right what was said was something like: "violence always begats violence". Seems like a pretty clear statement to me.

    Wisconsin bishops ask parishioners not to bring guns to church

    So, you could commit violence on another human. Thank you for the answer. As for your hypothetical, living in a rural area my guns are never locked up and the ammo is always accessible. Everyone in my family is trained in their use and taught to respect firearms for the deadly things they...
