I need life advise. I hope that this is the appropriate place to post relationship advise. I am friends with a girl whom I've known for a few years. She is a wonderful Christian, playful and full of joy. One thing I don't understand is that she likes to scold the men in our circle. I find it...

I've experienced depression and melancholy since I was a teen. It seems to be a part of my personality. What I struggle with the most is not having others like me. I am surrounded by exuberant family and friends. Honestly, they're probably just normal. I wouldn't describe myself as goth or...

Hi all, I am in the process of better understanding the Petrine office within the Roman Catholic Church. I am stuck on the question of sacramentalism. If bishop is the highest sacramental office in the Church, what distinguishes the pope from his brother bishops? If it is the right of...

When did England come under Papal control?

I don't know how to get pass the fact that historic Christianity is fundamentally both Jewish and Greek at it's core. Plato is everywhere. Aristotle makes a nice appearance too. The Roman Catholic magisterium seems evocative of a Jewish Sanhedrin and I don't see much difference between...

Hi, I've been trying to decipher my conversation style. I can say that I argue to learn but I often set up arguments in a really weird way by asking a person a question that I know the answer to. But these are not rhetorical questions, I am sincerely looking for a response.

Hi, A friend of mine recently told me that Dismas, The Good Thief, has more mentions in the Divine Liturgy than anyone other than Mary but I can't seem to verify it online. Can anyone help me please? Thanks

Hi, I have been searching for an English translation of the Diet of Regensburg (the 16th century doctrinal agreement between Lutherans and Roman Catholics). I would prefer an online source if possible but book form will be fine if an online source is not known. Thanks.

These questions were posed by a friend of mine. He wonders what the presidency was in pre-modern Europe. 1)Could anyone make an icon? 2) Was there a distinction between icons and religious art? 3) If there was a distinction, could anyone make religious art? Thanks

Hi, I was just reading an account of Catherine Laboure's visions and I have two questions. 1) Mary said to Catherine, "But there are no rays from some of the stones. For many people fail to receive graces because they neglect to ask for them." Doesn't Ephesians 3:20 say that God gives us more...

Question is in the title. Thanks

Good Evening A question in need of an answer: How does the Catholic Church understand the procession of the Spirit from the Son in light of the monarchy of the Father? Thanks.

LibriVox Has anyone read this and what are your thoughts?

I have an interest in the theology of icons and I wish to recreate their style as an educational exercise for myself. Is it alright to do so, so long as I don't regard them as icons or lead others to believe so? Thanks

I had a friend who is a Catholic Christian. Approximately last year she was very verbally abusive to me. I don't think that was her intent, but I am left with having to obviously recover from something. I thought that I was getting better and could get back to social media where she hangs out...

Hi, I am posting this here because I am looking for assistance from those who believe, that Mary remained a virgin perpetually and want to avoid arguments in the Mariology forum. Thanks. Ok... 1) How did the Fathers make their appeal from Scripture? Are there verses in the affirmative? 2)...
