    REALLY Interested in Orthodoxy

    You also may want to consider Eastern Catholicism if your primary objection to Rome is liturgy and not just the Petrine theology.

    I often hear people complain that Mass is boring.

    I think the answer if very simple. If Mass is boring, you dont know what the Mass is! How can being in the REAL PRESENCE of Christ be boring?! If one is bored, instead of continuing to be bored, they better talk to their priest and learn just what the Mass actually is! If Christians, not just...

    Simple Church

    You can see what liturgy the earliest Church performed. It was NOT as simple as you may be thinking. It was the Mass! or perhaps in Orthodoxy, the Holy Liturgy! St. Clement in the first century outlines what the Mass looked like then. It was so similar to today that the Catholic Catechism's...

    Christ's representative

    The title "Vicar of Christ" does not convey ANY meaning which suggests that Pope has ANY divine power! Papal Infallibility is a very limited power that has NOTHING to do with the human person in the office of the Pope. It is entirely about the promise of Christ to protect His Church from error...

    Christ's representative

    This quote is nothing but a fraud! It is nowhere taught by the Catholic Church. It was created as a fraud and proven a fraud. And now that you know that to continue to spread it you commit the sin of bearing false witness. Your sources are all anti Catholic propaganda and do not reflect actual...

    Apostasy Rising: 4 Denominations In Less Than a Week Defy God's Word

    I think you have it 100% wrong. Accepting homosexuality as not being sinful, to accept marriage as something else than one man and one woman, to ordain men who are practicing homosexuals all explicitly violate the bible and 2000 years of Christianity! Simply because you interpret the bible and...

    Elton John: Jesus would support same-sex marriage

    Really? Who actually cares what Elton John has to say about what he thinks Jesus would do? Who really thinks Elton John has any idea what the bible preaches? So many "Christians" dont even know what the bible actually says about marriage. Still, Elton John thinks he has a clue about Gods...

    Video of Roman Catholic Priest who "spoke" to Jesus

    That is not necessarily problematic. At the wedding at Cana, it was Mary who was concerned about hosts hospitality and need for wine. Christ only did the miracle due to Marys intercession. This is not to say that Mary is the source of Mercy, it could have simply been Christ sending His message...

    Feeling a little low

    Your sentiments are so very sad and sweet. I am so sorry for your loss, and pray you and your husband find a Godly Christian couple to mentor you in the holy, Christ centered marriage. God bless!

    Do you consider Mormons to be Christians or a different religion?

    Well thats all nice a good sounding but its NOT Christian. As for fruits, I would agree, most Mormons are good decent people compared to most Christians. But Christ didnt come to create good decent people. He came to create saints. And saints live not just good decent lives but heroic lives of...

    Do you consider Mormons to be Christians or a different religion?

    How can you be a Christian when your religion teaches you the bible is not trustworthy and not inerrant? When you claim Christianity other than Mormonism is completely false and apostate? When you claim that the only thing that makes you Christian is a completely new set of inerrant scriptures...

    Which political party is closer to the teachings of Christ?

    Exactly my thoughts! You can also add the Republicans traditional animosity toward the immigrant has been rather abhorrent as well. And I say this as a registered Republican. The distinction for me is that any party that has an official plank to support abortion and see it is a moral good is...

    Church as Hospital, Christianity as Spiritual Therapy

    Yes, these are the sentiments recently proclaimed by Pope Francis. The article you cite , however is bogus. The Metropolitan makes a supposition with virtually no evidence or even reference. That is shame that some in the Orthodox tradition continue to invent reasons to be separate.

    Do you believe in equality between straight and gay people?

    This is the great con job of the gay rights movement-"marriage equality". I am all for laws that protect individuals of their rights. But its a farce to say gay people cannot marry. They CAN marry just like the rest of us. There are restrictions on WHO we can marry because we want to maintain...

    Do you agree with this Statement on Baptism?

    Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” The bible is clear, baptism in faith DOES something! Believing and acting (being baptized as...

    Understanding Scripture

    "The problem is that for some strange reason, a mentality has evolved where people believe that our interpretation is faultless because we've got the Holy Spirit to guide us. The first problem with this - and one that I've yet to hear a satisfactory response to - is that many Christians, all...

    Where does Jesus Christ fit in?

    "In previous articles we've talked about spiritual exercises to improve our afterlife. We've discussed the condemnation of hell and the redemption of heaven" From a Christian perspective, there are no spiritual exercises without Christ! Our spiritual life is all centered on drawing us closer...

    Sola Scriptura and Illiteracy

    Of course sola scriptura makes no sense! What did those in the early Church do before there were NT scriptures?! They had a Church first! Thats what. The Church brought the Good News and was the means to salvation. Not the bible! And it was the Church that was the "Pillar and Foundation of...

    Archbishop Didn't Know Child Sex Abuse Was a Crime

    Read the transcripts. The medias report is the only thing that is disingenuous! He never said he didnt know child sex abuse was a crime. He was referring to not being aware of certain criteria for reporting. And no, not every suspicion should be reported! How would you like it if you were...

    What about "no graven image"?

    Thank you! This claim that the Catholic Church, or even the Orthodox church, uses graven images against the Commandments is nothing other than Reformation and post Reformation propaganda used to attack the Catholic Church! Its utter rubbish as the literal translation of "graven image" is "idol"...
