Ah, yup, that's one of the things I've read and its a little vague on the matter. :-( "numerous miracles which were wrought by bones and relics" implies a presence of the holy ghost remaining in the relic itself, as does the Catechism of Trent "If the clothes, the kerchiefs, and even the very...

Hello again I've been reading up on the view of relics in Catholicism and Orthodoxy and I have a question.... In Orthodoxy, the view on relics is that "Saints are sanctified in both body and soul, and in Scripture we see how their bodies continue to be temples of the Holy Spirit even after...

Just a quick thank you to everyone who replied. The responses have helped greatly.:prayer:

Okay, thank you for that long post (and now crikey a lot more too! Brilliant!) :pray: The Catholic view seems very different from the Protestant one, and that is what was confusing me. I find myself more and more drawn to Catholicism but was puzzled by the difference in view on this. Looks...

Aha, thank you. So it is not seen as expecting an AC figure turning up and imposing a MOTB on people as many Protestants believe, but rather more as parable and symbolic of our spiritual life?

Hello all, I'm trying to find the definitive view of where Catholicism sees us as being in regards to the last book of the Bible. Is it all seen as past, and if not, which point roughly does Catholicism see us at? I've looked on the net but cannot find a clear answer, just a variety of amateur...

Angels are stars. Most are fixed in pattern, rotating around an unmoving light (the pole star - the highest heaven), but some are not. Some fall (meteors). Some 'leave' their first (ie: fixed) estate to wander (planets) one of which is lucifer (the morning star), and are named for...

Sorry OP, but the USA is not Babylon the Great; well, okay, it is in that it is part of such, but BtG is not just the USA. Look at Babel, which is the origin of Babylon. It a whole world unified. Look at Babylon the Great, it's a city. Look at Globalism today; which is a world ideology of...

I can recall, not so long ago, evangelicals warning me about the rise of a charismatic leader in europe, who would be jewish, go to war with rus, and promote less than wholesome social values like prostitution, homosexuality, and the like.

Hardly controversial. Genesis says that Humankind was made in the image of God, and then later split into two sexes (sexes, not genders) when Eve was taken from the side of the man. This doesn't mean that humans can be 'non-binary' now (you do not contain both male and female).

Yes, "Bottomless Pit" is a terrible translation of Abyssos. A far more accurate one is "the depths of the ocean".

At least one of his first two weddings was Anglican.

The idea that Boris' previous marriages were not valid is laughable.

If it (life) happened once, it could happen again, and given the sheer enormity of the universe it seems highly light that have done so. Heck if it is found on Enceladus or Titan it means that there are probably countless places it has occurred.

Just think of what the world would have been like if they'd done that for Henry VIII.... Boris Johnson marries Carrie Symonds at Westminster Cathedral I wonder what the Catholic world is going to make of this U Turn for the wealthy?

What is 666? Which ancient god-figure is mentioned as being thrice something? A figure of pride. A god of magic, science, thieves, media, and thus of the technology that could make an 'image' talk and of the rise of a society filled with the vanity of its own works that seeks to rise to the...

If God was not good, by what standard would you recognise and measure goodness?

God promised not to destroy the world with a flood again. But He was being sneaky, because next time it will be with fire....

Babylon is the non-Godly world empire-seeking system.

I've made a thread on this in a Christian only area but to be fair I'm putting one here as well for general discussion... What are people's thoughts on Bergoglio going to Ur and partaking of such a "service". It creeps me out a little to be fair (and I'm pretty accepting of non-Christian...
