    The Bible and the Virgin Mary

    Is anyone else watching this Bible study with the St. Paul Center? If not, I highly recommend that you do (you can sign up in the middle of the page). I kept signing up whenever it was offered but never got far until now. It's as informative as the Bible and the Sacraments (which I ended up...

    Tucker Carlson's Family is Harassed at their Home

    A self-described anti-fascist group has taken residence on Tucker Carlson's lawn in Washington, D.C. I, for one, welcome our hate-fueled overlords.

    Dorm Decorating

    I've just moved into a single room at my new school (since they messed up my room assignment at the beginning of the semester), so now I get to decorate my room any way I want, without needing a roommate's approval. I'm using a lot of tapestries (Kohl's was selling fairly big ones for $9, so I...

    Max Raabe

    Max Raabe is a German singer I discovered about a month ago thanks to German class, and he has quickly become my favorite musician. He mostly has German songs: But he also has some English tracks: I didn't want to keep him to myself.

    Do You Wear A Scapular?

    After much waiting, I finally got two scapulars today, the Brown and Green scapulars. I feel particularly drawn to the green scapular, but from what I've read, it's meant to be "gifted" to those you desire to convert (so, aren't already practicing the faith). I picked it up just in case I can...

    The Bread of Life

    This week and for the next few weeks, our gospel readings will focus on Jesus as the Bread of Life: His Eucharistic Presence. Sometimes our readings are centered on Jesus as a sower, others as the only Son of a vineyard owner, and yet others as a shepherd or a good Samaritan. These are all...

    Car Troubles

    Hopefully someone here can help me, even though people on forums dedicated to cars aren't willing to. I drive an old Volvo, and its horn hasn't worked for as long as I've had it. I'm trying to do repairs on my own now since I end up taking it to the mechanic every three months, and now I want to...

    Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist

    Has anyone else read this book by Brant Pitre? I'm reading it a second time and continue to be blown away by it. It's improved my understanding of the Eucharist and has heavily influenced my apologetics regarding the Blessed Sacrament.

    [Catholics Only] What do you think about apostolic succession?

    The "Apostolic Churches" (our own Church and the Orthodox Churches), which have valid apostolic succession, make a fairly big deal out of this connection of ours to the apostles. Unfortunately, not every Christian has the same attitudes towards it, thinking that the concept is "unimportant" or...

    White House Snub

    Tim Thomas picked the wrong time to make a statement. From the article: Before most hockey games, it's tough to find many players who stand completely still during the national anthem. Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas never moves. He stands as still as the Statue of Liberty, with his focus...

    Kind of a dumb question...

    I'm looking to frame some of my drawings, but I can't remember what the board/paper is called that you do that with. It usually comes "whole", but you're supposed to cut out a "window" to let your art show. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

    LDS Why is the word "Bible" in the BoM?

    From 2 Nephi 29: 3 And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible. 4 But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a Bible; and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant...

    Volvos?

    I bought an old Volvo ('91) about six months ago and was wondering if anyone else is driving one of these. I've only seen a few on the road since getting mine, and they're usually the newer (at least early 2000s) ones. I saw another 240 about a week ago, same color and probably same year. I see...

    Bonsai

    Has anyone gotten into the bonsai thing? I got a small tree from Sam's Club, and since then I've been interested in pursuing this as a hobby, but don't know where to start. One thing I know for sure is that the glued-or-whatever pebbles surrounding my tree can't be helping it.
