    Quiz: What kind of Catholic are you? - Share your results

    I got the same result you did, and I didn't even know Nicole Kidman returned to the Church. I thought the problem was too many question with no answer that reflected my beliefs or practices or... like what should Bishops do about something. I have no idea what Bishops "should" do. Not my...

    Are You Part of the Great Catholic Migration of the 21st Century?

    The most prominent group not supportive of the Pope, or the previous Pope, or the previous Pope or the previous Pope would be the SSPX. Our problem isn't that there are two sides, our problem is arrogant people who ALL think they know better than the Holy See, no matter what end of the...

    Exposing scientism

    I think it's more accurate to say "mis-applying their mis-understanding" of Darwin's theories.

    Ex-Priest of National “c”atholic Reporter Wrong About Flannery’s Heresy

    It's not. It just has a point of view a certain group in the Church don't like. It's been around a very long time and brings us a viewpoint somewhat different that the National Catholic Register. Read both for balance. As for teh article, they are presenting the priest's position. Someone...

    You have this wrong, too.

    Time for liberal Catholics to quit?

    They noticed in my parish. It was bankrupt in a year. I guess these days Opus Dei bails 'em all out, though.

    Time for liberal Catholics to quit?

    And an out-of-context picture doesn't make you right, either. You are seriously mis-representing what the Holy See has mandated for the Ordinary Form of Mass, that which is celebrated in the Vatican by the Pope. Who actually does put the Eucharist into people's hands, BTW. And I'm not your...

    Contraception Politics

    Right. Only that can't happen if health insurance doesn't offer standard medical care, which the Church insists it shouldn't. What would ever give you such an idea? Because if you have a smaller population you are a more powerful force in the world? You know what? To the great...

    Contraception Politics

    Not necessarily, not even most commonly. However, it is a symptom of something and if it's a heart issue, then the heart issue should be treated. But why is the American public being forced to pay for treatment so some guy can have sex? And why is the Church not objecting to paying for it and...

    Contraception Politics

    RIGHT But not if you work for a Catholic agency. Try reading the article linked in the op for a few facts. These women had to go to a non-medical person in the HR department themselves and justify what their doctors ordered. Humiliating, degrading, disgusting, not to be borne. Thank...

    Oh, just.... LOL. Are you kidding? There is no medical reason on earth to spend billions on "erectile dysfunction." Every bit of that comes under "sexual products." Progressive limpage is a natural process, let's not interfere with God's Creation.

    I'm so sorry Gwen. I believe this was also the point the woman who wrote the article was making. I would like the Church to stay out of my business between my doctor and myself. Freedom is essential to making moral choices. Whether we will sin or not, is something every single person...

    Time for liberal Catholics to quit?

    We have a new pastor just like that. Well, not "we" anymore, since so many of us left. I believe he sees himself as the star of a Going My Way remake. I thought he had a great idea: so I went my way... away .... to a parish where the approved form of the Mass is said by a pastor who...

    Shouldn't someone TELL him

    If oil is the power, and long range we use up most of the supplies easily gotten from others, when oil becomes very difficult for them to get (because we ate it all while 25000 people a day starve to death) who will end up with all the power? OR - we could use up our own oil - so - who do...

    Contraception Politics

    Uh-HUH. Soooooo - why is alcohol not banned? I'm also kind of wondering why "nature" makes so many substances that you can consume and become unconscious and somehow you define this as "against natural law." NATURAL LAW is an invention of man. Actual natural law is simply the way...

    Just FYI, she didn't leave the agency, she left the Church. The job she still has.

    Contraception Politics

    I never said it was. But they also don't think that an actual ATTACK ON RELIGION by the US government was anything to comment on. Now, they want to make us all believe we are being "attacked" because of a health insurance plan that is mandating essentially the same coverage o for all...

    piffle I believe I'll leave it up to God to decide what is a sin on my part, Jack, not a guy on a forum, as well-intentioned as he might be. Disagreeing with the actions of Bishops is not a sin. The Church has been running a red-herring special ever since the abuse issues came out and...
