    Need advice - non denom pastor convert to Catholic

    Thanks Bob. For most, conversion wouldn't cause them their job and source of income and put their family at risk, and the impact on the people around will not be as affected. For example, there are couples who have their naptials already scheduled throughout next year. There are people in...

    Atheist United Church Minister got to keep her job

    Is it just me or does it make no sense at all? I think I can understand the court and settlement decision in terms of employer employee relationship, but I am not understanding her theology whatsoever.

    Stephen Hawking: Great scientist, lousy theologian

    It's a quick read and short book, but I can't even bear myself to finish half of it. He is an atheist and it shows in his writing. I totally agree with you, he thinks he is so smart he has all the answers.

    Hello I'm in need of advice

    There is a lot of helpful responses. Please allow me to add mine, this should give you some direction and comfort, but it requires diligence as well in prayers and trusts in the Lord. 1. I agree with HTacianas, it is time for some tough love. In Proverbs 23:13-14 "Do not withhold discipline...

    Too bad I cannot change the title. It seems I get more response from the rejoicing Catholic as if I have made the conversion. You asked "Do you want to get baptized into the Catholic church", Yes and No. I know need to get baptized, I do not want to take this process lightly. However, I...

    Thanks Anhelyna for your suggestions. I have posted the same on both, hope I didn't break any duplicate posting rules. I can already see what the Catholic Priest is going to tell me, "quit your position and come to see me again". But you never know. I will speak to him. You are right, I...
