Hey ya'll! Happy New Year! I got a couple books for Christmas and wanted to see if they were worth the read or not. You guys are always great at book reviews!!! Anyways, one is "The New Anti-Catholicism" and the other is "Father Joe." Any thoughts are appreciated!

Can someone direct me to some quality apologetic materials regarding Christian Science and Mary Baker Eddy please!

Someone I am talking too doesn't think that Jesus established His Church...yet. This person thinks Jesus will establish it when He returns for the 1,000 year reign. I don't have time to put something together to refute it and am hoping that someone can guide me to a tract or something which...

Anyone heard or read this book? Someone recommended it to me, but the title seems a little hokey. Any insight is appreciated.

This is a bit of a pet peeve, but it gets on my nerves some how some people either come to Mass late or leave early. I know it shouldnt bother me, but hey, I'm not perfect. I mean isnt the Mass a prayer? Would you only say the last half of a Hail Mary and leave it at that? So if you come to...

If you could change any one "bad" trait or tendency about yourself, what would it be? And none of this interviewing trick junk about "I would change my humility because...." You know, taking something good and trying to make yourself sound better. I want the real dirt. The truth. For me...

Another thread showing our love of neighbor. Pick someone who posts here who you have gotten to know through their posts and share what gifts you think that person has been given and how you would like to see them use those gifts!

It's been a long time since my old post on the IDD forum about who we greatly enjoy reading posts of. Since things have changed so much and there are so many new/different people here, I thought I'd re-run the old thread that ended up being so nice. Besides, with extremely limited PC time, I...

BLESSING! Yo yo! Been too long. Visiting my cuz and wanted to send out a quick blessing while I got the chance! Hopefully get some time to browse a bit. This place seems busy. Anyways - May our Dear Lord continue to shower this forum with His gifts and give to all who come here an...

Since this seems to be a growing "field" and all, I was curious how people felt about this. I mean can just anyone start doing apologetic work (I mean serious apologetic work, not simply explaining the basics behind a doctrine to your neighbor or something, but defending it using...

Catholics believe that Mary can personally answer (that is, positively respond) to a prayer request. Is that the truth? Or what is the doctrine?

I heard that people pray the "Divine Office". Can someone please tell me what that means?

When did the Church start the practice of Eucharistic Adoration?

I have also heard people make reference to their "Spiritual Guide." From the context, I gathered they were talking about a priest (as opposed to the Holy Spirit who guides us all). What is the reason for having a Spiritual Guide? Who can be one? (Yes, another poll - I like this poll thing!) -...

I seem to have read something about doing this and with the new year coming, I thought I would give it a try myself. The only thing is, I am not sure how to go about it. What do you write? How often? Grrrrr. I usually have no problem writing (or keeping my mouth moving for that matter)...

Just curious. How many people sit face to face with the priest when they go to Confession versus those who sit behind the screen? And why?

In light of the many posts lately about people coming back to the faith, I was hoping people who have come back and those who have been a part of helping others come back might share some thoughts on what brought them back. By sharing this, maybe others will be led back or those who are out...

This question came up in another thread and I realized I don't know anything about this. Even the answer confused me. Can some people help me understand what blessings are (and I don't mean things like life, children, etc... but more like a blessings upon a rosary or crucifix, or during a...

Just wanted to shout out to my Christian brothers and sisters! May your Thanksgiving be blessed and full of memories. And may the next year find you even happier!

I got an email here at CF which is a variation of the "Nigerian Fraud Letters" which many of you have seen. If you get this, do not respond! Here is a copy of it (I ask the moderators or whoever to report this to whoever runs this site as it may carry some liability issues): Beloved in...
