Yes, btw, Coptic Orthodox make the sign of the cross in the same way as the RCs. I know because I was taught how to do it in the first place by a Coptic priest, and still do it the same way now I'm Catholic! :)

The zeal of a convert can often be alarming. I have a friend who has gone through many incarnations of belief, she was Catholic at one point and is now an atheist, and each time she 'converted' to something, she became unbearably smug about the whole thing. Tbh, personally, I'm very aware that...

All peace and love to those that love him. Yes, I believe Alfie was baptised.

Michie, the last name was an eyebrow arching moment for me too. ^_^

Yeah, really not happy about this. Identify however you please. I genuinely have no problem with that. But this is simply unsporting. Biology matters in sport. The reason why men and women are in different categories is because they have different physiologies. Men have an inbuilt advantage...

My church uses it for the main Sunday Mass and holy days. I love the smell and the symbolism. Unfortunately, I always get a thumping headache whenever it's been used, which is very disappointing, as if it were down to preference, I would love it all the time. As it is I attend Mass on a...

The Pope is taking aim at Catholics? Yeesh. Does Father Martin really envisage the holy father is engaged in treating his flock as his enemies? What on earth is that about?

Thank you all so much. It has been a very long journey, decades, in fact. I have reached the end of the road now, and a whole new world has opened up to me, with another journey to take. I am ready!

Hi all! Just popping in, on a high after the Easter Vigil and totally unable to sleep!!!! I was received into the church, and was so overwhelmed I made the priest cry :D I am so astonishingly happy.:heart:

Good morning! There's a break in the clouds here and the sun is out. I think if the weather holds I might go for a walk.

It's the day before Mother's Day, and it's a card shop! :)

And after 5pm Mass, I am in for the next day. I cannot express how busy the shop was. I have never seen it like that before, not even at Christmas. And my 12 year old daughter asked to come to Mass and loved it.

Hello all. Nearing the end of my week, last day tomorrow. I am sooooo tired!!!

We certainly do. My husband works in the gas industry, so is very up to date with things like that. I will take care, I promise :)

Yes, I have a strict regime for taking in liquid because of my medication. Boiler replaced literally last year. I've just been for a twenty minute walk in the cold to clear the fog in my head and feel much better. I've also knocked the thermostat down a couple of degrees and told everyone to get...

I am really struggling because the heating is on because it is so bitterly cold, but central heating tends to give me a headache!

our back garden, and the snow is still coming down apace, and the wind is gusting about, creating icy whirlwinds.

No, I attend Mass and sometimes my husband comes too. He attends a church with open communion, I attend Mass which has significant restrictions, like requiring that you be in a state of grace to receive the Eucharist. I really don't understand your position at all. It's too onerous to expect...

Morning. Work today, but there are question marks about getting there, getting home, and if anyone will be there to buy things anyway. And it's RCIA tonight, which I think may get cancelled anyway, which makes me sad as it is my highlight of the week.
