Czesc, Wypadek! (minus the accent marks of course) I'm assuming you're Polish. Am I right, or is "Wypadek" merely a nickname?

I don't quite understand your beef with Fr. Martin - especially your harshness in calling him a "traitor". Personally, I think he was very educated AND EXPERIENCED with inside-Vatican affairs (probably more than most who author on the subject). I also find his books quite insightful...

Pretty slick board. See ya around. Take care.

I stand corrected. I apologize for assuming that you didn't allow your son to continue - yeah, yeah, I know what happens when you *** u me :) I guess I read too much into your post. My emotions - which they often do - got the best of me. After re-reading your post :) I now admit that what...

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Unfortunately, you're doing exactly what my parents did - you're judging a book by it's cover. "What's in a name" I must say. I agree that ONE of the "definitions" of Incubus is not exactly innocent (it could ALSO mean 'a nightmare'...

You guys rock! One more reason I like this board. Obviously sounds like you guys are far from narrow-minded on the subject. It's perfectly OK for people to not like metal; as long as it's truly a matter of taste, as opposed to rejecting it because it's "devil music". Although, I have to say...

When I was a teen & to this very day, I'm a HUGE metal fan. Hope you don't hold that against me. :) When I was younger, you wouldn't believe the crap I would get from my parents about the music I listen to. They've cooled down tremedously now, but when I was in high school, I bet there...

Unfortunately, I've been away for a few days, but Wow! I knew that I would get a stir by asking MR. Finn his opinion on women deacons/priests, but I had no idea... BTW, that's right... I meant to type "MR." because... I REFUSE to believe that someone with such blasphemous words is a priest...

Hey Mike, Welcome aboard! I'm fairly new here myself & all I can say is that there are some very intelligent & informative people that frequent this board. If you have questions or opinions to share regarding the Catholic religion, this is a great place. But remember, don't always believe...

Just curious. If you are truly a priest ( I apologize for questioning you, but because of my experience on the net, you can't always believe that people are who they say they are), then I'd like to read your opinions on the following: - Alter Girls - Women Deacons/Priests - Kneeling during the...

Just thought I'd share this prayer I found. Given some of the discussions that have come up on this board, I thought it would be fitting. Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas Creator of all things, true source of light and wisdom, lofty origin of all being, graciously let a ray of your brilliance...

What exactly is it, and would it be considered schismatic?

First of all, I think what all of you are doing with your kids is wonderful. But... are any of you concerned that once your kids reach that rebelious age, that they might reject the Catholic religion out of spite because of how you've overwhelmed them at every step? I know so many ex-Catholics...

"It-self"?! Well, it's HIMSELF, if that really matters. Anyway... Regarding the issue of women lectors, I did mention in my last post that I do agree with St. Paul. And, I wasn't being arbitrary, but rather, I was not concentrating (I admittedly posted that initial remark in haste) on the...

And to think...there's people out there that actually think they don't need to kneel during that part of Mass. What a shame. Thanks for the insight.

Wow! I'm so sorry for that misunderstanding. I just guessed you were because you seemed a little defensive regarding women's roles in the Church. Gotta stop doing that. This is obviously a HUGE brick wall in our exchange. "Church cannot err"? What!!!!???? God is the only One that cannot...

Of course, nothing against you personally, because I definitely commend you on your willingness to help, but I don't believe it matters who asked you or who appointed you. I don't care if it was the Pope himself that annointed you. Either way it's a "human" that is making these revisions to...

Of course NOT against "blessing" children. To be perfectly honest, when I see a member of the CLERGY bless a child, it brings me great joy. However, being the father of an 18 month old, I REFUSE to have those nobody layfolk schmucks bless my child. No one has given them the true right...

Wow!!! I'm speechless. To me it sounds like a blatant slap-in-da-face to God. All I can say is, "Satan is definitely smiling upon those people." Also, I agree with your pet peeves as well. Actually, two more, which I can't believe I left off my list, are: - Layfolk putting their grubby...

My biggest problem with what I'm witnessing at Church is the ludicrous LACK OF RESPECT & REVERANCE to God. Most of the people I see at mass (especially those involved such as choir, lecters (sp?), and Eucharistic Ministers - these EM people [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] me off every time I see them.) show absolutely NO...
