    why do some people think, they don't need God..

    Very well written, the whole post. I must say, as a former Catholic who attended daily Mass for years and years, I agree 100% with everything written by Fish and Bread. And as a side, I must also add that although it's super scary to suddenly be the one in charge of your own life and...

    Wow, what a world

    Sometimes, when people get you down by their choices to be blind to the Truth, it REALLY helps to recall vividly to mind what you were like before Catholicism. (If you're a convert, or before Faith set in - if you're a revert). Either way, it's helped me a lot at times, to remember who I...

    Feeling disheartened...

    Do not be surprised Veritas. It is in being surprised that we encounter dissapointment. Rather, prepare yourself for these and such like things when speaking to Protestants. Remember, that like the multitude of His Disciples that left when he proclaimed that we are to eat of His Flesh and...

    Question to Catholic Converts

    Dear Richard, I gather you are in a fighty mood, as you're posting these arguments - against our explicit requests to take them to GT - on a thread that is seeking to obtain converstion stories. You are digressing from the point, not being helpfull, and your attitude is disrespectful to the...

    Down Syndrome

    Here is a picture of Joseph. Isn't he a cutie?! An amazing thing I must quickly share... When my hubby and I conceive our little bundle, we immediately named him Joseph - we were unsure of what he'd be called if he came out a girl. But we were dead-set on the name Joseph for if he was a boy...

    Is breaking bread the same as Communion?

    Thank you QuantaCura, this should be the last say. Let us trust The Church's teaching on this matter lest we slide down the slippery slope of compromise for the sake of "being nice".

    Catholic Morality -- please help

    Well good luck! And WELCOME HOME!!! :-) If I were to add my 2 cents worth - I would recommend perhaps looking into "The Culture of Death" which is what Pope JPII called the world's way, vrs "The Culture of Life". Immorality causes death - if not physically through abortion and other...

    Is breaking bread the same as Communion?

    Hi there :wave: I feel for you, wanting the unity of friendship yet also having this new faith to adhere to. Two things I wanted to mention: 1) The breaking of bread: Last month there was a new testament reading from one of the Letters to the ... Corinthians? I'm not sure where it was...
