I'm struggling to stay strong in the faith. I'm struggling to focus on becoming more saintly rather than giving into my worldly desires in the face of great uncertainty. I'm struggling to feel at home in the Catholic Church when most around me are Catholic in name only or in private only, or on...

I noticed this while I was doing some perusing of the Catechism. I wonder who could be contacted. (See attached screenshot)

A man is said to worship Mammon, but this does not mean he sees a god in his lockbox. Likewise, an enormous quantity of people worship the beast and will worship the image of the beast without believing that either is a deity.

Our family recently began making a firm resolution to attend Mass regularly. My wife and I have gone to confession as needed and received the Eucharist. The grace of God is so prominent in the Eucharist. But the devil is so prominent in his thrashing against this grace. He claws at walls of the...

I'd like to take a break from debating about obscure little details about a book (Revelation) that is clearly over the top and symbolic of some truth. I feel that as a post-tribber and amillenialist, others who share those views with me will understand what I am saying: simply put, the world...

I am seeking some clarification from pre-tribulation proponents in regard to Paul's words in the beginning of 2 Thessalonians 2. Paul seems to speak of "the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering unto him" as a single event. Now, the context of his statements is found in the...

I was drawn to Catholicism by the rich history and deeply intellectual underpinnings. God surely have such qualities to the Church for a reason. I am by no means an excellent practitioner but I do accept the teachings as fact and wish to conform ever more to them. There's one thing that will...

The World In ‘Scope | TechCrunch I'm not knocking on the platform or the concept at all by posting this excerpt from Revelation 11, but I think it's interesting what is becoming possible with mainstream technology:

I feel like recently I just "got" the balance between grace and works, or letting myself die so that Christ may live in me. It's really freeing; it's less of a job to perform and more of a step to take out of the way of the Spirit. When did this concept become most clear to you, and how...

The vision in Daniel 8 is traditionally interpreted as a portrayal of the rise of the empire of Greece under Alexander the Great, followed by its demise and split-up into four kingdoms, with the emerging Antiochus Epiphanes interfering with the Jewish ceremonies. I agree with that much...

Last week our marriage was blessed and last night I was confirmed as a member of the Catholic Church. Good to be with you all :)

Story here: Tissue engineering used to create vaginas, nasal cartilage in a lab - CNN.com :o What is this going to mean for human society, do you think? :confused:

We are on our way to having our marriage blessed and my confirmation and we are currently struggling with the teaching about non-abortifacient contraception and how it relates to our marriage. I don't know how this is going to go. I love Jesus and have vey recently begun to grow a relationship...

Anyone here want to help me decide how to spend it? I was thinking about some Autechre and Elis Regina stuff but I would like to know of some good Catholic listening too, even books that might be on iTunes. Help appreciated!

Where I live there are about 20,000 people and four parishes. There is a site dedicated to the diocese we belong to but what I would like to see is a site dedicated to our city and it's four parishes. This initially started as an idea to develop a competing local news site until I realized that...

My sister in law knows a mother of a one month old who has died tonight. She was on a bus and the emergency door opened. She went to shut it and fell onto the highway and was run over. May Mary turn her eyes on this mother and child. Lord please save their souls.

I have been worldly as of late and finding it hard to connect on a personal level with our Lord and his Saints as real people. Are there any particular traditions I could adopt as a means of fostering a physical dimension of affection towards these persons, who are truly people?

Faith is never a purely private matter, Pope tells audience : News Headlines - Catholic Culture

If we wanted to promote godliness in our cultures, would it not be contradictory to perpetuate the detestable habit of name-calling when speaking of others?
