Just trying to cut through the party-line rhetoric. The Boy Scouts of America is a faith-based, private organization. It's focus is not to vilify or ostricize repentent sinners. No where is sexual orientation, adultery, or any other sin brought up. That's the parents and the clergy of the scout...

Well, first off, the first statement made no sense. Secondly, the second statement made no sense. *shrug* The bottom line and the answer to original scenario is this, it takes minutes for "help" to arrive and seconds to end my life or the life of a loved one. I will defend my life and the...

Republican/Conservative/Catholic/Prolife/Supports traditional marriage

Theologically conservative in the Catholic manner. Politically conservative in favor of the constitution.

I don't know about anyone else, but the way I "decide" to whom I direct my prayers is that I direct them to ALL of them from the top down. :)

But ARE they "well-educated"? The answer in a lot of instances is NO! The system is fatally flawed. Perhaps if school districts had to COMPETE to get students? I don't have an answer. When my older children were attending school, my financially situation was much the same as my parents so I...

Not EVEN, BA! Point of fact, my parish is an urban parish and many of the 300+ student come from the urban side of the house. The public school from which they're coming is failing hediously. They cry that they need more money, but, it's not solving their problem.

Yeah, BA, I spent 12 years in the "system" and had SO much catch up to do that I might as well have forgone the experience. Waste of time and money. My education was at home after school. Even THEN, my parents could see the handwriting on the wall. They were products of the school-of-hard-knocks...

Mike, I don't WANT you to fund my child's education. But, I WOULD like the money I pay into the education "fund" to be available to pay for the school of my choice. My contribution, not yours.

What, exactly, make a private school education "luxury"? I would love to take my hard-earned tax dollars that are earmarked for "public" education and put it where I think it should be. My parish school provides tuition assistance to those Catholic families that want to get (or keep) their...

Good Morning and welcome to OBOB

We do have websites for both our school and our church. However, the church site is under construction. You can see our school website here: http://www.stritadayton.org/

I suppose suggestions would depend on the state you reside in. I just completed a tour/day at Firelands winery in Ohio and HIGHLY recommend their wines. They bottle for out-of-state consumers under the "Mon Ami" label and have some very nice wines. For today ^_^ I am leaning toward a sweeter...

That's what I was thinking. I live in one parish, but am an active member of another. The parish I live in doesn't have a Sunday mass (they collaborate with another parish). I am a member of a neighborin parish and am active in their school.

Not to throw a monkey-wrench in the wealth of great advice, but I'd be a little concerned that, in the future, g-ma's very visible problems with the Faith would be very apparent to a small, impressionable child. That's a formula for future battles. But, I'm also an all-or-nothng kinda person, so...

I have two of them. They were free when I got them. We had boxes of them and the only "direction" for their use and/or distribution was to give them to those that asked for them. Course, this was 2 years ago.

I think one "thing" that happened at that time was the Council of Nicea that many non-Catholic point to. Also, in one of the stickys at the top of this forum pertaining to "The Boettner List" you'll see something in the same line.

This is the one I just bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/019528853X/105-6958266-9067612 I really like it. Also, funny thing. A friend of mine called me and told be they'd been "dumpster diving" and they had something they thought I might like. Well, when I saw them next, they handed...

Last year I gave up exceeding the speed limit. It's held up pretty well since then. This year, I'll give up some time and begin praying the Rosary.
