    Catholicism?

    To KGirl: Little question, BIG answer, huh? I grew up in a God-believing home, but with no particular faith or church. That bothered me, a lot. When I got old enough to need answers, I studied just about everything I could get my hands on. I even took college-level classes, "The Bible as...

    An Observation

    There either still is, or used to be, a Christian discussion site called "The Pizza Parlor." I don't think you should name a similar thread here. The Pub and the Freezer should remain in the basic OBOB at all times. Peace, ~VOW

    What is wrong with this idea?!?!?!

    This sounds similar to a discussion my daughter had with one of her classmates who was trying to "save" her from Catholicism. The girl told my daughter for every person she personally led to Jesus, she would receive a jewel in her crown once she got to Heaven. And in Heaven, the person with...

    Salvation

    To Catholics, salvation is a process, not an event. We do not believe in "once saved, always saved." Baptism puts you on the path of righteousness, and your participation in the Sacraments strengthens you on your journey through life to the end. It IS possible to stumble and fall from this...

    Who is the real spouse of Mary?

    To BBAS Is Jesus illegitimate? Was He conceived "in sin"? Legally, in the US, all children born of a marriage are the heirs of the husband. This is based upon English law. Of course, with DNA testing these days, the true father of any child can be determined. But if you follow the law...

    Again with the honest questions

    The priest doesn't forgive your sins! The priest serves as a human EAR to hear your confession to God. The priest doesn't tell you, "I forgive your sins." Actually, before you leave the Confessional, the priest will say something like, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy...
