Thanks for the ideas guys. :clap:

Hi everyone, I haven't been on OBOB in sooooo long, I can't believe how much the layout has changed! Anyhoo, I'm getting married this summer, and we're looking for a good way to word the invitation that would include the point that the ceremony will also be a Mass. The best I was able to come...

Hi guys, sorry I've been away for a while, you've all probably grown sick of this thread by now:sick: But I wanted to comment on this, that a priest will not marry a couple living together and if he does, that you'd have to lie to him to get him to do it. All the priests I've talked to about...

A good peice of advice.

This would be a great idea, except his father just died of cancer (at 56) and his mom is in dire need of him now, and has been the past year or so since his dad passed (you know, fix the roof, tear down the pool, clean the gutters, mow the lawn -- not to mention his mom has fallen into deep...

I know, typing it up, I felt like I was writing a hypothetical, but it is a very real situation...unideally. I recently stumbeled upon the AM Catholic radio station, and in the Catholic Answers program there was a lot of discussion about this, but of all the sin that was associated with living...

Thank you, this is a very clear way to describe the scandal thing. But what if no one really knows you're living together? If you each own your own houses, have all your mail go to your own address, keep you own phone number, don't tell people you're living together for the sole purpose of...

I appreciate what you're saying, but does the Church consider this to be a mortal sin?

Could you explain that further?

What's the sin of scandal?

I know it's not a good idea for a couple to live together before they're married, however I was wondering if the Church (all personal opinions aside) considers it a mortal sin to live with someone of the opposite sex if you're not engaging in any type of sinful activity (i.e. having sex)? Say...

Thanks Sacha, and you and your friend will be in mine :prayer:

Thanks Maggie! That's exactly what I was looking for -- you rock :)

Ahh, this makes a good point. Thanks for the suggestion on the book Cat. I guess though it's hard for me to understand the concept of somehow not missing someone you love.

Does anyone know where in the bible it says the thing about -- don't say 'I follow Amos, or I follow ???' but rather follow Christ -- it's about divisions in the church and how various people will break off and develop a collection of followers (still for Christ but teaching some wrong stuff)...

Okay sorry, I looked up the stats: The success rate with Invetro (IVF) is 8% with a 4% live birth rate The success rate with the Wurn Technique is 67% Guess I wasn't too far off -- cool.

What if a mother has a child who she (obviously) loves very much. Say that child does something like commit suicide with no remorse and full understanding and intent, and thus the child is condemed to hell. If the mom goes to heaven, even though she'd be overjoyed to be with God, won't part of...

I have a hard time believing Showtime would air anything pro-Catholic.

Acutally yes. A girl I went to physical therapy school with did her disertation on this technique and so when we presented them, I learned about it. This technique was developed by a physical therapist and her husband (a massage therapist). It all started when they had been treating a...

With all sincere respect, I believe you are misled about the purpose of being on the pill with endometriosis. Unless you actually have endometriosis, you can never really know the extent of the pain that some women go through every month. For some it is literally the equivalent to labor pains...
