    Leaving.

    I am leaving CF for awhile. I don't know where I'll end up religiously. I just know I've got to take a break. The sorrow is such that I can no longer discuss anything. God be with you all.

    Hearing Mass

    I just came from the Christian Advice forum. A person there gave a complaint I don't get. It basically boils down to the fact that she got more out of reading her Bible than going to Mass and that she will never go to Mass again. The Mass IS the Bible. I mean, granted, we sing it, chant it and...

    Neither Option Looks Great

    Okay here's the deal. I checked it out. Even though I live in an Archdiocese, only one church has the Latin Mass on Sunday. I've been to this church before. It has perpetual adoration which I like and Confession available several times a day. This is great. The drawback is, this church is...

    Pachamama Effect :(

    Ever since I saw the Pachamama video I've been distressed. I haven't really been able to pray, especially to Mary. The Pachamama springs forth in my mind every time I try to think of her or say a hail Mary. I feel frozen. All I've been able to do is utter Jesus, Jesus, Jesus over and over again...

    So What Happens Now?

    Do we storm the Vatican or what? It looks like the whole upper echelon needs to go. It also looks like there needs to be some major ecclesiastical reforms. I almost single handedly converted for Mary and the Papal See ( somewhere the Devil is laughing at me for the latter one). I'm not missing...

    Need Suggestions

    I would like to start a survey based discussion. But I'm not sure in what forum it belongs. I am a woman but the questions will be somewhat intimate/sexual in nature. I don't want to bring scandal upon anyone and I want people to be as open and as honest with me as they can. The purpose of my...

    Invocation Of The Saints

    I grew up Confessional Lutheran. They believe in the intercession of saints, just that we shouldn't invoke them. Why? Because, there is no example given in Scripture. They appear to be right. I have scoured Catholic sources in an attempt to find one instant in Scripture of a person here on earth...

    Getting Ahead Of The Media

    I came across another article a friend posted. The article was about Pope Francis donating I forget how much from Peter's Pence to the migrants in Mexico. I don't really care if he wants to donate money to the migrants. The rest of the article was just silly nonsense as usual. What I hate is not...

    Was Christ Addressing Peter? Help Please.

    I need assistance understanding Christ's statement about Peter in the Gospel of Matthew: And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. Most of what I have been able to find revolves around the issues of the...

    Looking For A Rosary App

    I used to pray the rosary several times a day and it was a very positive and joyfully grace in my life. But I've since suffered some set-backs health wise. In short, I cannot speak for very long or be around much 'noise'. I've also never been good with silent prayer. Is there an app out there I...

    Do We Pray To Christ's Body?

    I know the title seems strange, but bear with me. Most of us take for granted that we can pray to Christ; that He is capable of hearing our prayers and acting on them and that He, furthermore, is present with each one of us. In fact, many of us would go so far as to say that, He is...
