    Legal victory for fired transgendered teacher in suit against Catholic school

    Luther,I do not see the comparison between a Transgender person and someone who patronizes prostitutes.The latter involves a behavior which violates the law.A transgender person feels that they were born in the wrong body.As Christians,we need to be more tolerant as those who are on the fringe...

    Course Correction for the Church?

    I think what the Pope was trying to say was that people are welcome in the church even if they do not share every belief.However abortion is still wrong,although as a liberal Catholic,I support birth control and the idea of women Priests.

    Introvert/ Introversion Awareness

    I am probably more introverted as I often start conversations with strangers in public,but I am also a good listener and know when to keep quiet.I try to draw people out and give them a chance to discuss themselves first.

    Legal victory for fired transgendered teacher in suit against Catholic school

    I feel a Teachers' qualifications come before their sexual orientation or gender orientation.Injustice would be firing a perfectly qualified Teacher because we do not agree with his or her lifestyle.Let God be the judge!!

    How do non-Catholics explain Eucharistic miracles, such as bleeding, and Marian...

    So Marian visions according to Protestants aren't real?I have not read one intelligent answer on this thread.I know Protestants who revere Mary and would not discount miracles and apparitions attributed to her.

    dealing with lonelyness.

    I think when people initially meet they should aim to be friends and set up boundaries by the second date.Make it clear that you will not become initmate until you get to know him further.If he is willing to wait at least a couple of months,then maybe he is the right man.
