You only "dislike" Catholics, because you are a product of your environment, which obviously is anti-catholic.
You would have been subliminally taught all the anti-catholic cliches, armed with these, you would have spent your life using this information as if it were true, all the while having...
God is all powerful, more powerful than we can imagine. God also has given us free will, the free will to choose.
Choosing to follow God is not always easy, that is why we pray. Our Father........."give us this day our daily bread"..., we ask God for what we need today,....."lead us not into...
The diocese is Canberra and Goulburn. I don't have anything to compare it to but I feel very much at home wherever I go. Can't say I have seen Kevin at Mass. My son is only 7 and Autistic, however he really enjoys the structured routine of mass and particularly enjoys the "giving a sign of...
Ok lets not hijack the thread, we are all entitled to our opinions. We all have different taste.
In reply to OP, my advice is don't do it, you will regret it for the rest of you life.

I wasn't born 48, besides I am 48 not dead. And personally when I was a young lad I did find women with tattoos a turn off and still do today. I use the word "turn-off" in this instance not to denote sexual overtones, but simply...
I had my confirmation at this past Easter Vigil and am so happy. I have never felt so close to God as I have in the past year. I love the quiet and reflective times spent one on one with God during Mass. This quality time with God is priceless.
Its a little after 10pm Saturday Evening here is Australia, and I have just returned from the Easter Vigil Mass and my confirmation. I have never felt closer to God than I have over the last 8 months. Everything feels so right and for the first time in my life I feel a real sense of...
I love the quiet times of personal prayer in preparation and within the Mass. Quality one on one time with God.
For me, Mass is like an oasis in the desert that is life.
If Luther was right, they why aren't all non-catholics Lutheran? Non-catholics have been "nailing things to doors" in protest and spitting and re-splitting ever since.
And Christ's message keeps getting more and more diluted. Talk about selective editing of the Bible.
Makes ya think doesn't it.
Selectively editing the Bible to appease a demographic to which you wish to attract, brings in to question, and can cast some doubt on the vailidity of church.
A cynic might say that some churches are more focused on taking full advantage of their their tax free status and as such their focus is...
This may be a little off topic and I know that I don't live in the US, but I have found the consensus here in Australia is, that neither Hilary or Obama will be president, for the obvious gender and race reasons. Also compounded with the fact that voting is not compusory and taking into account...
Non-catholic faiths are also guilty of poor judgement in the past. And both the Catholic church and non-catholic faiths will inevitably make errors again in the future. However despite errors made at times by the church, the original deposit of faith and catholic teaching has not suffered. Which...
For my wife and son.

Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at
the hour of our death. Amen
