    If John Paul II becomes incapacitated...

    Hi Jeff, just my opinon: the church has many leaders. Every bishop is a leader and it's not like the administration of the church would come to a screeching halt. But would the church be able to remove JPII from office? I don't think so, because canon law says the Pope can be judged by no...

    Freemasons?

    again, I notice you didn't answer the question. But I too, care little if you call him Lucifer, Satan or whatever... he remains the master deciever and pretender, the enemy of God and man. Far from being the 'light-bringer' that he poses as, in the end, all he brings is death and destruction...

    Freemasons?

    no confusion here. For we know the ONE who is True Light from True Light; and we know who the author of confusion is. But your 'confusion' was a nice dodge of my question; here it is again: Your 'bearer of light' is and has always been the sworn enemy of Jesus Christ and His church. You may...

    Freemasons?

    Your 'bearer of light' is and has always been the sworn enemy of Jesus Christ and His church. You may not believe it or acknowledge it but it is Truth nonethenless. Is it not this 'light-bringer' that the illuminati credit for their wisdom and their plans? But their plans will fail, for this...

    Seeking a mentor

    Hi RS, Living a saintly life should be the goal of all of us. May the Lord strengthen you in your walk and lead you to where He wants you. I know this may not be what you were describing, but there is a new and growing community in Canada, that may interest you: http://companionscross.ca/...

    Gift of Tears?

    Hi mephster, I think you have well described the 'ineffable feeling' that I often get at Mass with the uncontrollable tears that you mentioned. It frightened me at first, but I found by embracing those tears and that 'ineffable feeling' that an indescribable joy and peace would come over me...

    The tricks of the legalists

    Love God! Love one another! In this you find the entire Law. Are we required to keep it? Absolutely! Read 1John 2:3-11 So then, how can we be sure that we are in HIM? By loving God and by loving one another. And if we do this, we have kept the Law. Peace and Love! PJ

    What does Religious Tolerance mean?

    HI Mephster, My opinion: speak the Truth in Love. If you are persecuted for it, endure it. if you are commanded to silence: ignore it, if you are wronged, forgive them; if you are cursed, bless them... we tolerate others by NOT persecuting, silencing, or cursing them for their beliefs. This...

    catholic/orthodox communion

    Thank you chanter for clearing that up for me. The reason I asked is that I understood (and someone please correct me if otherwise) the churches had recinded their excommunication of each other. And I know that our prelates are involved in dialouge. I was however unsure how far the...

    catholic/orthodox communion

    Thanks for the responses. It seems then that orthodox ARE allowed to participate providing the discipline of their church allows it. Any orthodox here know whether your discipline allows it? And whether a Latin with the permission of his bishop would be welcome at your liturgy? Peace and...

    catholic/orthodox communion

    Hi all, I hope someone can help answer this question: If some of our orthodox brethren wished to join us for Mass, would they be welcome to particpate in the eucharist, or would they need a dispensation to do so? Similarily, should we wish to join them for the divine liturgy, would we be...

    The Mass Explained

    Hi all, ah, the Mass, so beautiful! Alleluia! When the Lord gave me my wake up call and brought me back from the lukewarm/seldom-practicing prodigal son that I had becone, the first Mass I went to took my breath away. Perhaps this is a danger to being a 'cradle Catholic' but I had (in the...

    Testimony of a Returning Catholic

    Welcome home brother Jerome! What an awesome Father we have, who calls to us when we stray, seeks us out when we are lost and receives us with open arms and rejoicing when we return to HIM! Let all creation give HIM praise! Alleluia! Peace and Love! PJ

    what does it mean for a Non-Catholic to not be in full communion with Christ?

    Hi RS, My opinon, they are not in full communnion with Christ because they reject (or are ignorant of) full-communion with His Body, that is, their brethren in Christ. as St. Paul said: 'Because the loaf of bread is one, we, many though we are, are one body, for we all partake of the one...

    Question on Conception

    Hi P12, Wow! That's on of those one's I'd just leave in the hands of the Lord. We may not know but HE knows, and either way it was His will. You'll get your answer when you see HIM face to face. :D Meanwhile, May the Peace of Christ fill you and your wife and set your hearts at ease...

    consecration to the Immaculate Heart

    Well said KC! It is this very love for Mary, and for Christ, and for His church that compels me to speak out against this spirit that masquerades as the 'Mother' while seeking to possess the hearts, minds and souls of our brethren. Did not Hosea speak of these times when he said: "But let...
