    Robert Sungenis apology - very humbling

    Hey everyone, Lately, I've come to have a deep respect for Dr. Sungenis and his ministry. Not only have I been impressed by his intellect and his ability to explain his positions, but his humility has also recently come to light. In the past he's been accused of being too harsh with some...

    Robert Sungenis debating Sedevacantism

    Hello all, Robert Sungenis, in my opinion one of the better apologists out there today, is in need of financial help for his upcoming debate where he will take on a Mr. John Lane in refuting sedevacantism - which is the idea that we've been without a true Pope since Pius XII in 1958. Just...

    Jim Caviezel's church

    It's been a while since I've posted anything on the boards so I see a lot of new faces. But as some of you know, I'm Catholic and working in Hollywood. I'm low on the ladder and have been constantly bombarded with the nonsense and sin out here. Plus my job is difficult because my boss really...

    The reason for the Immaculate Conception?

    Hey all, I've posted this to Robert Sungenis, but was seeking your input as well. What do you see as the best logical solution to understanding why the Immaculate Conception was chosen when the Protestant rebuttal would consist of the following: "Solution: Jesus Himself was miraculously...

    Churches in Communion with Rome

    Hey everyone, Quick question. A friend of mine recently asked me some questions regarding the specifics of the Catholic Church, and I told her that it consists of many churches in communion with Rome. Is that correct and if so how many are in communion with her? Thanks guys! -Spotty

    Ecumenical Council contradictions?

    Hey everyone, I was mulling this over in my head since I was reading this last night and as I am not steeped in the history of the ecumenical councils, when they were specifically recognized as such, how there were recognized, by whom they were recognized, and what specifically is...

    A job that means something...

    Hey there everyone, I've been really struggling with this lately - I test video games and have been doing it for over a year now. It's 30 miles away, monotonous, and perhaps every 11 year old's dream job, but I feel just like I'm wasting my time. My wife makes over 2wice as much as I do and...

    Witnessing to a Fundamentalist

    Hey all, You all know the rhetoric: - I was Catholic. - I knew Catholic doctrine. - I was shown the truth through the Holy Bible. Well, I'm dealing with one. Here name is Elise. She seems like a sweet person, but is hellbent on attacking the Church. She claims to understand Catholic...

    The Eucharist is on my desk

    Um...not kidding. One of my friends mistakingly recieved the Host today (even though she crossed her arms for a blessing, the preist still gave it to her), and she just remembered that she had to give it to someone who is Catholic to consume it. Well, I'm not in the state to do that, so I...

    Fair book/website on understanding Luther

    Hey guys, I'll be watching the movie Luther with my roomates soon (all Protestant) and just would like to reference for them a decent website or book which despells the common myths of the Reformation. They may not want to look at it, but to have it there for them as an opposing view point is...

    Today...was like...ugh.

    Hey guys, I've just had one of those nights and days where everything just seemed to go wrong. While some of it was inevitable, it hit me off guard and just like a ton of bricks turned my face into a frown. 2 nights ago, my car battery died on me. So I had to go get it replaced, which was...

    Ok, so I know I just started another thread regarding St. Francis and something that he allegedly said (thankfully I got all that figured out), but can anyone help me with this one? "Remember tonight for it is the beginning of always ... (A)? Promise that the award for persisting through...

    St. Francis: "When necessary, use words..."

    Hey everyone, Can anyone tell me where this quote was used? A sermon? A prayer by Francis? My roomate misquoted this to say "and if necessary, use words," and proceeded to call it a half-truth and further his dislike of Catholicism. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! -Spotty

    Dueterocanon - Dictionary.com and Websters dictionary

    I know I bring up questions about the canon a lot, primarily because I see it as a fascinating subject. I was doing some looking around and in both of these secular sources (mentioned in the subject), it mentions (under Dueterocanon) that they were not in the original Roman Catholic canon but...

    Best Catholic/Protestant debates

    Hey everyone! I think it will shock and annoy me until the day that I die and pass into St. Peter's (which of course only Peter can allow entrance *cough-cough*), about the ignorance and certainty of the claims thrown against the Catholic Church. I was wondering what some of your favorite...

    Halloween, 2017 AD

    Hey everyone, The thought occured to me recently - All Hallow's Eve, 2017 AD. This will be the 500th year anniversary of Luther's infamous posting of the 95 theses. I can only imagine that some gross amount of bigotry will emerge. We should all pray that this doesn't happen and that a...

    Impossible to go to Confession until later...

    Good morning everyone, I was wondering if I am able to recieve Communion this Sunday, but I can't go to Confession until by appointment this coming Wednesday? One of my priests told me it was permissable so long as the intent is there. Is this correct, or should I wait until next Sunday...
