Wow, I started this thread about eight months ago and it's alive again... and I've since converted to Catholicism, so my original post isn't even relevant any more. But, hello!

:scratch:

Who's the Pontificator?

Yep. Well, I've been confirmed RC anyway. I didn't have to do RCIA, just a series of chats with the priest.

Hello, Now that I'm officially Roman Catholic, the name SaepiusOfficio has started to seem somewhat, er, awkward, so I've decided to change it. I've chosen DeoJuvante, in keeping with the whole Latin phrase theme. Anyway, I just thought I'd let you guys know, seeing as this is just about the...

I threw together an excel spreadsheet to give you an idea of how it's done. Once you know that date of Easter, all you have to do is add or subtract a fixed number of days. Some of the feasts that you listed are fixed feasts, however. For example, Advent Sunday is always the Sunday closest to 30...

:scratch: I don't understand what this means.

Meh. In many ways, I'm a pragmatist. Will I be in a position to receive the sacraments from an Anglican priest in future? Unlikely. Does that mean that I should take it upon myself to judge who is or is not in valid Orders? I don't think so. ETA: Does it matter in the scheme of things? If it...

What I mean is: suppose the Pope were to declare ex cathedra that Jesus was not divine. At some point before making the formal declaration, he would have had to believe that that were true. By believing that (in full knowledge, yada yada, but we can assume all that, he is Pope after all), he...

I tend to think that that particular dogma is practically meaningless. I accept the two dogmas promulgated under papal infallibility, but I'm not going to lose sleep over whether or not papal infallibility itself is true.

Hehe, that could be awkward. I intend to change it as soon as I can think of a new one. It's not as though I go around declaiming my doubts about certain doctrines or as though I wear pro-choice badges to Mass. If they were to exclude everyone who privately disagreed with certain doctrines of...

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive. :wave: Well, there's lots of reasons and its kinda hard to explain. It's something that has happened over a long period of time, really, but I do feel that this is where the Holy Spirit is leading me and I think that I will end up being a better...

Firstly, sorry I haven't posted here for so long. Secondly, I probably won't be posting here too often in the future because I am now in the process of converting to Catholicism. I won't change my faith icon until I've finally been received into the Catholic Church but it's pretty much just a...

J'étudie le français à l'université.

Sorry, it's just than this forum doesn't represent the apostolic denomination. I don't even know what it is. This forum is for those churches (Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox) who believe in tactile apostolic succession. So we don't believe that we are apostles. Rather, all of our bishops...

I'm starting to think we need to change the name of this forum because this is the third person I've seen who seems to think that this forum is something it isn't.

If I couldn't find an Anglican church, I'd probably just to go a Catholic one. In the highly unlikely event that there were neither an Anglican or a Catholic church, I don't think I'd bother.

I voted Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil. I just love the Triduum.

Hi. I understand that this is supposed to be a forum for liberal Roman Catholics and Old Catholics. I am an Anglican whose theology is more or less the same as many liberal Roman/Old Catholics, so I am interested to know whether this forum is open to liberal Anglo-Catholics as well?

What is with this site and censorship?
