Dear Old Friends, It's been quite awhile since I've been here. My last life update post was in 2015 on OBOB. After that, I didn't post until now. Before that, I hadn't been active for about a decade. The people at OBOB and TAW were a central part of my online and religious experience during a...

Dear Old Friends, It's been quite awhile since I've been here. About a decade, actually. The people at OBOB and TAW were a central part of my online and religious experience during a very interesting time in my life. Thank you for that, and God bless you all for your presence. A lot has...

Look, guys, this forum is no longer Christian. Your Orthodox brethren at CCF are starving for activity on their forum. CCF split off from CF when this all first started occuring. I kindly invite you to join us. We have a community for Eastern Orthodox there. Here's a link...

I have given a lot of thought to this very question. This is how I see it. The essence of modernism is a lack of work ethic combined with moderate doubt about the very principles of religion. As G. K. Chesterton said, "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found...

Dear TAW Members, I realize that over the past three years, I have seemed to vascillate somewhat in the spiritual sense. However, this was due to outside forces and not only mere interior uncertainty. Three years ago, as you recall, I had been a sincere inquirer for several months, actually...

Okay, I PMed that link in my profile to get the icon changed, but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone know a better or faster way?

Many people say that ecumenical councils are infallible. While this is right to a degree, it should be more properly understood that ecumenical councils produce some articles that are infallible, others that aren't. Any document claiming to deal with dogma is infallible, but other documents...

State of the US Catholic Church at the Beginning of 2006

Okay, in general I do not have major qualms, but the grammar is bad, and I think it should be a little more respectful. It also seems to suggest consubstantiation in a few places, and the line, "That they may live very happy forever in the kingdom that for all you have prepared," seems to imply...

The document is called Evangelization in a Culture of Pluralism. It actively endorses syncretism and religious relativism openly, and is an insult to our Lord. You can download it here and read it yourself. http://www.usccb.org/evangelization/Phan.rtf Here is an excerpt: "It is impossible to...
