    So You Know Those Moral Lesson Stories?

    The ones that are often posted by facebook slacktivists. They tend to feature notable people, like Einstein proving that God exists. This may not go over well here, but I think I've found the greatest parody of parodies.

    Good Friday has come

    ‎"Midway in our life's journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood." -Dante Alighieri, Inferno. Let us reflect and grow closer to our Creator. That blessed day has arrived in which our Lord was crucified in lieu of us, for our curse.

    Mystic Literature

    I've been thinking about the mystics lately (though not in the same way as Fantine's thread). I've delved into dry theological writing, but I've never touched the mystical stuff. Anyhow, I'd like to learn more about mystic practices—Eastern or Western, as I enjoy Eastern practices just as much...

    Confiteor

    I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I asked blessed Mary ever-virgin, all the...

    Piety and Sacred Objects

    How do you show reverence around your sacramentals and other religious items? Mine is a little OCD, but I don't like to put the medals and crucifix on my necklace face down when I take it off. I also kiss the cover of my Bible before I open it and after I close it. Does anyone else do any such...

    Rosary Help

    Hey guys, I've been praying the rosary daily for a bit over a week now. One thing I notice, though, is that I have a really hard time focusing on the mysteries. My mind wanders, and I end up with empty Aves and Paters. I love the mystics, but I'd settle for just being able to focus on what I'm...

    Never Doubt the Power of the Sacraments

    Well, it's been less than a week since I was baptized, confirmed, and given the Eucharist. I know this is a little premature, but I can't restrain myself. I'm not posting this in the mens' section because there's not many Catholics there. Anyway, I haven't hidden the fact that I have been...

    Contraception

    Don't panic, I'm not going to argue for ABC or anything here. Tonight in RCIA my deacon claimed that he did not see contraception as immoral. The other RCIA leaders agreed. When I argued it, they claimed it wasn't an infallible statement (technically they said "never spoken from the papal chair...

    Mortal Sin

    I'm having some problems understanding mortal sin. The fact that some sins are worse than others is not something with which I grew up, but I was able to accept it on Catholic authoritative teaching alone. That's not my problem. I'm having a difficult time understanding why it is exactly that a...

    So..I've never attended Mass

    Right, well I've never attended Mass, and if you would have asked me a month ago if I ever thought I'd step foot in a Catholic church, I would've laughed you off the face of the earth. I had never even considered it. Well, that's changed. Even asked my friend to take me to Mass. So tomorrow, I'm...

    After lurking, I finally wanted to say hello

    Well I've been observing this place for a little while now. Good to see some people. A little about my current life. I'm a freshman at Central Michigan University, and at 18 years of age just got back from the polls (I essentially voted straight Democratic, but I took the pleasure of filling...
