    Question about validating a marriage?

    Okay, so if anyone remembers I was trying to get married in the church to my fiance of literally forever. (okay, almost 5 years but it feels like forever) So I went to the church gave them all the documents and it's more than likely going to take 2 years (because of the annulment process) Yeah...

    Vaccines

    So, I have done a lot of research on vaccines and I'm not convinced they work well, if at all. Call me crazy, but my children have had many adverse reactions so I'm really in a dilemma. California law says they must be vaccinated to go to public school (which I really don't want them at anyways...

    I have no idea what to do.

    I'm going to try to make this short. Basically my oldest sons biological father is not in his life at all. He doesn't even know who he is. He saw him once before his third birthday and hasn't had any contact since. He is in contact with his grandparents (his biological grandpa) but his father...

    This conveys such strong emotion!

    Normally I don't post stuff like this but I needed to find an image showing human emotion for my art class. Obviously this isn't a human, but does anyone see how representative this image is of the Lord? At least that's the way that I imagine it. I almost see this like a version of God and Jesus...

    Quick question about confession

    If I forgot something do I have to confess it since the last time I went? Or can I just let it go. I don't think I have to but I'm not sure.

    Women's clothing in the church.

    I know people have different opinions about appropriate dress, but I'm curious about a couple things. I know some women feel called to dress really conservative (dresses and skirts only, etc.) However I know many women feel called to dress that way from God. I'm just wondering why God would call...

    Consecration to Mary?

    What's the difference between that and using her to intercede like normal? I've seen a few books about it and it's been a bit confusing to me.

Her other aunt had 7, and another one had 4. (Is that big? Idk) Anyways my question is in the bible it clearly...

    I know this is touchy, but we're all adults here...

    Okay if you're offended by talking about birth control read no further. If not I have some important questions. My understanding is that any form of birth control in the RCC in NOT permitted unless for cleared reasons with your priest (Hormonal issues or something? So I've heard) unless of...

    Yesterday was great!

    I didn't go to mass today, I actually went last night. I honestly had no intention of even going to mass. I actually went because they always keep Catholic materials in the back and I was hoping there would be a book there that I could pick up so I could read more about the faith and possibly...

    Today is the day

    I'm going to talk to my husband about going back to the church. Just me for now. I won't ask him to go with me, but of course he can go if he wants. I'll probably start taking my kids to mass too. This is a HUGE deal for me so I'm really freaked out about it, so I'm hoping this goes well!

    What is the best way to convert someone to the faith?

    I'm not talking immediately either. I miss the structure of the Catholic faith and I'm really thinking that I want to come back to the church. My husband on the other hand is totally against it. He really thinks it's pagan (because of saints and the veneration of Mary which I have a hard time...

    Infant baptism?

    So, I understand the concept of original sin, however I don't really understand the idea that if an infant dies without being baptized they will go to hell. Why would a just God send a baby to hell? That seems a bit overboard. I would think they would have to reach an age of reason and actually...

    Really would like some input

    I know that people may get offended by my question, but I'm here seeking answers on purpose not to cause problems. My question is this. How does the Catholic church validate everything that has to be done for salvation? For instance, Jesus says to follow him and believe in him because we will...

Anyways I have a question that has been bothering me which is why I decided to post this here. Why is it that so many Catholics are pro...
