    Abortion vs. Gun Control

    As a college student, I see little reason to reform laws just because a large amount of people disobey them just because they think/can get away with it. My thought is that you need to look to see if better enforcement is possible before going an alternative policy direction. Take for...

    Comedian Sabina Guzzanti 'insulted Pope' in 'poofter devils' gag

    Part of me would like to see that too. However, I do not see us getting any other than negative PR if that happens, even if its the just thing to do and the Church has nothing to do with the process. Perhaps this comedian's local Bishop could be persuaded to invite the guy to talk about what...

    Catholics who support abortion should not receive Communion, says Archbishop Burke

    That something I thinkis sin, which has been causing the breakdown of what a normally functioning society should be like from God's viewpoint for decades now, and will either cause our society to self destruct or rebuild.

    Prayer Request

    Hey again everyone :wave: I have a little intention that I would appreciate if you would pray for me on. To summarize, since Holy Thursday, I've started dating a girl whose has been considering the religious life for a number of years. The situation is a little ironic since I had decided...

    Observations as a 4 month old Catholic

    I'm into efficiency too, but considering probably the youngest one I would find would probably be in their mid-twenties, I don't think they would appreciate the affections of a college freshman.:)

    Observations as a 4 month old Catholic

    Well, hello everyone again. I took a little hiatus from Christian Forums while away at college. It has been difficult to stay in touch when I am used to spending hours on a forum, and I have a limited time frame each day. However, this upcoming year, I hope to be able to reconnect with the...

    Taking The RCIAs

    It just depends on your situation and what type of Parish/Diocese you have. For instance I'm taking RCIA round number 2 for confirmation at my college parish, and we didn't start till october and since Easter is in March it will be really short, which in a way I don't mind since I don't feel the...

    Any Knights of Columbus?

    Hey everyone. I'm back from a short break. Going away for college has been the hardest thing I've ever done but it has been good for my faith. The Eucharist has basically become my sole source of strength and peace for each week.:crossrc: It's also really helped with my OCD attacks that come up...

    Are you called to be a Catechist?

    I think I may be getting the call into Catholic Education. I feel it needs to be seriously reformed: schools, CCD, RCIA. Too many kids are going flying through the process of the sacraments and learning the faith with out really being able to see the signifigance of it. Probably also for my...

    Thinking of Converting Back - Birth Control Question

    How did this get to 17 pages? I see a lot people splitting hairs and ignoring the main points. The Birth Control ban is officially required of Catholics. Zhilan, they didn't use the word harlot, but they did use the words harlot, adulterer, and pimp For example form...

    Do OBOB'ers believe the main stream media is bias?

    CNN, MSNBC methinks are large corporations that are liberal like Fox News is conservaitive. I also find it scary that liberal senator were calling for the fairness doctrine in talk radio, saying it needs more 'intellectual dicussion' when I can turn on Air America to hear liberals being just as...

    Oh my...

    Anyway, someone needs to shoot the reporter an email to correct the misunderstanding. Apparently this isn't the first time someone from Reuters has made a mistake.

    Teaching our faith to our children

    I'd agree with all the things Warrior Angel mentioned. Also, parents should take some initative and talk to their kids about what was said at Mass, in their CCD classes, take them to things like Eucharist Adoration once and awhile and explain why the things we do and believe are important. If...

    OBOB Novena - Our Lady Of Sorrows - Starts Sept 7th

    Count me in as well. For my friend that has fallen away from their Catholic Faith, one that they never truly knew. That God would guide them back, and that he'd give me the patience and humility to know how to correct them.:crossrc:.

    I Have OCD (Sort of)

    Not the type where you wash your hands seven times or anything like that, but when you have a lot of unwanted thoughts that plague your mind everyday, so you get stressed out trying to get rid of them until you do some ritual to distract yourself. I didn't realize that I had it until about last...

    The Gandhi Quote

    The statement is not exactly the most open statement when considering that's Ghandi only real interaction with Christians was with British people who called themselves Christians due only to their birth affiliation with the Anglican Church.

    I love bueracracy

    It's it awesome to be essentially told that your too dumb to take a basic statistics class, especially when it's needed for your career and major, and it's actually the only math you were good at in high school. It's also awesome to be told that you can't use the waiver option to state that you...
