It's awful. Praying.

Yawn. The Guardian. Not even gonna bother reading it.

Probably less interested than you'd think, to be honest.

I'm-- God-willing-- getting married in September. Other than that, who knows.. maybe a nice holiday.

Nah. We're all right. You could do something more useful like helping the poor.

I'm Catholic and my FI is Anglican. We're getting married in the Catholic church and he's happy to attend Mass with me as he attended Catholic Mass for six years during college, which is good because I wouldn't feel comfortable skipping on Mass to go to another church. I told him before we got...

.. who I'm sorta seeing. I really like him and we're virtually on the same page.. with life and stuff. Thing is, he's not Catholic.. but he believes in God and has, well, attended Mass for several years (although, he admits that he doesn't really understand all that goes on at Mass) and has been...

Welcome. :wave: I'm a Catholic convert, too. :) I love the blinking thing in your signature!

Free shipping?! You'd be crazy not to.

I hate this thing. I mean, I don't hate *it* - it's a good practice - but I always forget. You folks across the pond should definitely have it, too, though, then we can all of those I FORGOT IT'S FRIDAY AND ATE MEAT, AM I IN MORTAL SIN type-posts, but that'd be more of a CAF thing, I guess.

Go to a different parish with a different priest. There a lot of understanding priests out there-- it sounds as if your boyfriend experienced an uncharitable parish.

His intelligence, voice, and sense of humour.

Welcome. :wave:

I actually knew about all of these, except one. I read too much.

This Christmas will be the first I've ever spent entirely alone, without seeing any family or anything.. and I'm kind of looking forward to it. Not really looking forward to going to church on my own - everyone and their mother seems to go to midnight mass just because it's midnight mass - but I...

I wear a crucifix and a Miraculous Medal, both in silver. I used to wear a couple of other medals as well, one being a St. Benedict medal. But the trouble with that is if you wear too many, it becomes a little bit too much like a bell and I was noticing how heavy it was and how much the metals...

I attended a lovely Russian Orthodox church for a while before converting to Catholicism. I really liked Orthodoxy and wanted so much for it to be the full Truth, but it - at least in my opinion - isn't. The Papacy is what, ultimately, made me choose Catholicism over Orthodoxy. Catholicism is, I...

Well, I didn't say that I agreed with their individual views which, by the way, I'm sure a number of straight couples hold in regards to birth control or pre-marital sex. If you read the article, you will note this part: "A series of draft documents were passed between top-level Cardinals in...

Pretty much this. In fact, a group of traditionalists regularly protest across the street from the church during the Mass itself, so I've heard. Personally, I think it's a really great thing that the diocese of Westminster is reaching out to people like this. If anyone's interested, here is an...

What abuses? It's a pastoral mass approved by the Archbishop. It's a regular Catholic mass that people with same sex attraction just happen to attend. It is nothing like in the US where they're running up and down the aisles with Rainbow Flags or challenging church teaching. It is just a...
