My view is we need to take care of the Christians in the middle east first- they are our brothers in faith and they are the most threatened. I have been thinking about how to develop a charity the resettles the Christians into some of these small towns in rural America that have massive...

Merry Christmas!!!

I thought in Orthodoxy there is no state of hell, because God exists everywhere, however the soul that rejects God through sin is tortured by the presence of God, while the soul that loves God is in bliss due to the presence of God

It just seems that the closer I try to walk with the Lord (I had a very sinful past, esp in regards to lust) and deny sins of the flesh, reject the devil, the flesh and sins of the world the more my OCD kicks up, the more I fight with my wife over silly stuff, the more my kids misbehave. it just...

Please my sisters and brothers pray for me--- I have a huge OCD issue, today it really effected me, I was on the way to church with my daughters and there was a squished up skunk right in the middle of the on ramp to church. I know the devil put it there just to get to me, I made my daughter...

Thank you, its miserable, when this kicks up it feels like I have a bomb inside me

Interesting, as a life long Army officer (24 years) I agree with that statement. I wrote a paper for ILE (Command and General Staff College) that talked about just that. But it was more than the French trained for the last war/ prepared for the last war. It that they were doctrinal fixed...

https://www.realclearreligion.org/articles/2018/08/13/the_mccarrick_mess_110199.html When I was going through school, the devil was presented to us as a myth, a literary device, a symbolic manner of signaling the presence of evil in the world. I will admit to internalizing this view and largely...

My concern is that if the church can loss faithful in Ireland and will fall apart in other less devout society’s We have got to get lay oversight now!! People who don’t have agendas or beholden to the status quo— let them handle was is “Caesar” (the business) and let the religious handle what...

I just think there is a active homosexual cabal for lack of a better word that is hiding in the church and protecting their own. I have no problem with homosexuals or them being priests for that matter but they are called to a life of chasity. The problem is their or men who are active...

BUT NO CHANGE ON OUR SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS NO COMPROMISE ON LIFE NO COMPROMISES ON OUR MORAL TEACHINGS ON FAMILY AND MARRIAGE

Spiritually I am a traditionalist - I love the Latin mass, I prefer the pre V2 mass in fact. I like hearing my confessor absolve me in Latin. But I am a realist who believes the church leadership and administration needs real reform. More local control in the parishes, more lay oversight of...

I just wonder if all pomp and circumstances and the worldly power attracts the wrong kind of men. I would rather they focus on spiritual life and have lay business managers run the business of the church - The hierarchy is not the church, the church is the people, the body of Christ and his...

I agree that’s why I won’t leave our church. But the heiarchy needs to be over hauled and reformed with out changing the spiritual teachings. We need to get away from the bishops mansions and the fancy robes, they should wear black and get back to being Shepard’s a lay councilcould manage the...

Maybe to the Orthodox or High Church Anglicans—- but it still isn’t the same

Where else can we go? The church still has the real presence of Christ and that’s not changing. I am catholic because: The real presence The Eucharist We believe in The intercession of Mary We believe in The intercession of the Saints. We fight for life We are a moral compass We are...

I had a revelation tonight; the root of all my problems is I have been in rebellion against God and didn't even know it. I though I was a good catholic but still I expected God to come to me on my terms not his. I have been in rebellion my whole life, keeping my favorite sins, still confessing...

It's ok to have homosexual tendencies as long as you remain celibate
