Oh my goodness, I'm in a state of terror and relief all at the same time at the moment. Forgive me if it sounds rushed or is hard to understand because I'm really wound up right now! (It also seems one sided and semi-selfish, but I am aware that I could have killed someone else.) On my way...

Razilaženje: Ancestral vs. Original Sin: A False Dichotomy This Orthodox guy talks about the false dichotomy between Eastern and Western views on original sin, and also commendably attacks the tendency in modern Orthodox proselytism to say to Western Christians: "You worship a vindictive God...

Finished it tonight! I had to read it for RCIA, and I must say that's a beautiful document and very well stated! At the appropriate part it is ecumenical (but not too ecumenical) and concerned with evangelizing non Christians. They're always quoting Trent and Vatican I too, so I don't see...

Hi all. I was just wondering if there were Methodist Parishes that are not affiliated with the UMC. The UMC is more liberal and less liberal depending on where you live, but I imagine there are those Methodists out there that don't agree with things like women's/open homosexual ordination or...

I was eating dinner with my alpha group when the topic of different churches and theology came up. When it was appropriate, I mentioned how surprised I was that less than half of the people in my Old Testament class identified as Baptist (the school is Baptist. These people were probably non...

I was almost knocked off my feet when mass started at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville, SC. The parishes in Anderson (my college town) might not be terrible, but one (St. Joseph's) was decorated almost exclusively with what looked to be pictures painted by the infamous "Monastery...

It's not actually persecuting me. But in my Old Testament class today we had a pretest, and there was a question that asked how many books are in the Old Testament. It was multiple choice and 2 of the choices were 39 and 46. Since it didn't count I should have just put 46 to see what he said...

Please pray for me as I leave because I'm kind of nervous. It's a Baptist University, so we'll see what happens there haha. There's a Parish about 30 minutes away that does the Latin Mass every Sunday, and some local ones that I'll have to check out too!

Ask an Atheist » Guess What? Jennifer Fulwiler is Still an Idiot. I saw Jennifer Fulwiler, former atheist, on the Journey Home a few weeks ago and I thought her story was amazing. I googled her today and that's what I found on an atheist website. The comment section is probably the worst. I...

And it was in the EF! All in Latin, medieval hymns, plain chant! The FSSP priest from Atlanta also wore a biretta so I got the full experience! We had dinner after and the priest gave a talk on the Latin Mass specializing in why the priest should face the east and not the people. It was...

Hi everyone! I just created some Catholic memes to celebrate my 50th post (and thus ability to post links and images!). Like the title says, some of these are polarizing and might offend non-Catholics as well as perhaps hyper-ecumenical Catholics, but this is the Catholic forum so I feel safe...

So, what's weirder? Sedevacantism or Conclavism? I say conclavism, especially when it produces this: youtube (dot) com/watch?v=O3oXC9Txi4w&feature=related

Hi everyone. I was just interested in hearing about some of the lost articles you've recovered by the intercession of St. Anthony! I have a pretty run of the mill, ordinary one that happened just this last week. My wallet and keys had seemingly disappeared and it was really scary because this...

I know that pouring is normative for the Latin Church, but she certainly allows for immersion. Were any Latin Rite Catholics on this forum baptized by immersion in the Church? I just wanted to know out of curiosity!

Hello to all! I've been a Christian for a long time as I was raised in a devout Protestant (Southern Baptist) family (my dad was a minister too); and at the end of last year, my Senior year in highschool, I started questioning protestant beliefs! This was scary and had to be done on the down low...
