Been thinking about creating this discussion for a little while. Not sure if it will do any good, but IMO this should be what the Bishops should be discussing at the upcoming Synod. Anyway here are my suggestions: 1) Life long Religious education - I have no idea why Catholic Churches stop at...

I took a hiatus from Catholic and for that matter all Christian social media for about what 5 years, just keeping my head down and working my rear end off at work, so I just did not have the time. Still went to mass, just didn't get involved in the social media stuff. Anyway the first thing I...

Something that popped up in a different thread, which I would like to see fleshed out. The question is: What are the true differences between Catholics and Orthodox concerning the Eucharist? This thread is an attempt to understand what those differences (if there truly are any) between the two...

It isn't looking very good right now for the Christian brethren of Constantiople, and as a Catholic I say your ecumenical patriarchy is in my prayers. May God be with the Church in Turkey. Amen.

The purpose of this thread is to compare and contrast these two approaches concerning the first sin, and how that sin affects...well all of us. I couldn't find much on the web about ancestral sin, except in some contrast posts by Orthodox Christians, who didn't really present original sin...

I was checking out information in the TAW subforum, and was trying to find info on the Pan-Orthodox synod, when I came across an accusation made by an Orthodox member claiming that the Catholic Church believes in progressive revelation. As a Catholic I admit never heard of the term before, so...

Here is a thinking experiment for you. What if Christianity never canonized a group of writings that we now know as the Bible? Or what if the Apostles or the Prophets never wrote anything down, or if what they wrote was permanently destroyed so as not to have made it down to our time? What...

Here is a reminder to all that not all Muslims are terrorists or support terrorism. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/mandera-bus-attack-muslims-shield-christian-passengers-in-kenya-a6781726.html A group of Muslims protected Christian passengers when suspected Islamic extremists...

Been thinking about this a few days, but one of the issues today with political debate is that we use political terms inappropriately, and thus it makes those terms completely useless in naming a person's viewpoint, and thus those terms become just slang words to try an belittle someone else...

I remember when I was younger, and doing the Baptist thing, there was a lot of talk of Personal Interpretation of Scripture. But I don't hear that phrase anymore, so I'm wondering, what happened with that teaching? Is it still around? Is it still popular? Or is the reason why I don't hear that...

I have to vent and this is what this is. I listened to the news this morning (first mistake) and heard that there is some self righteous federal judge who struck down Virginia's traditional marriage law. I am truly sick of this stupidity. What is wrong with these judges??? They hear that the...

Just want to ask you women something. Did you like it when Obama basically claimed that being a woman is a medical precondition? What is that all about? The women groups should be up in arms today because basically Obama is claiming that women are not equal to men because they can get pregnant...

Paul Ryan’s Bishop Defends Him Amid Attacks on His Application of Church Teaching (6308) Madison, Wis., Bishop Robert Morlino says he’s not endorsing Ryan, but upholds the candidate’s reputation as a serious Catholic committed to applying Church social doctrine. by JOAN...

I got this email this morning and I wanted to share it with everyone here. Personally I have not donated to Susan B. Komen because of their ties with abortion providers. But I am glad they are doing what they are doing. So please let us support them by signing the petition of support so that...

I have a question for those who believe in some form of "Faith Alone". From what I understand there is not much debate upon the idea that one should pray to God to forgive them of their sins that they do during the day. But is this necessary? After you are saved, do you really have to ask...

To all Cradle Catholics: Here is my situation. I am a convert to the Catholic church and for that matter a convert to Christianity. When I converted to Christianity it was almost immediate conversion. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and move from Protestantism Catholicism. Anyway...
