    Is it possible to stop being friends with someone and still do as Jesus taught?

    This is my problem, several years ago when I was in high school I met a person whom everyone told me I should leave alone, because they said she is very cling-y and annoying. One day in study hall she was asking people for help with chemistry, but no one would help her, so I decided that I...

    Um....Yikes?!

    I brought this up with a friend who is an astrophysics major, and he spent the next hour and a half lecturing me on the nature of black holes. To make a point, to make a black hole that could destroy the earth, you would need 10x the mass of the sun to do it. If you were to collapse Mt. Everest...

    At what point during a pregnancy do you believe abortion is baby murder?

    There's abortion debate amongst Catholics? As you said, after conception it's murder, that is the Church's official stance. We really aren't a religion where these things are up for debate.

    How to offer up sufferings recieved by seeing others suffer?

    My grandfather is in the really late stages of Alzheimer's. He lived so far away it seemed to happen so suddenly, one year he was fine, just a little forgetful, the next time I saw him he was in an assisted living center and barely looked alive. It's been nearly two and a half years later. I...

    Sacrifice and Fasting: I think I'm doing it wrong...

    So I was coming home from Mass today, around 7:30, it was Friday and every Friday my dad goes to the store to buy groceries for the week and everyone just gets whatever they want for dinner. I told my parents that I would just get something on the way home from mass, as I would be out a bit...

    Those Angry Traditionalists

    I had a teacher like that, all he did for two years was complain that when we went from Tridentine to Novus Ordo that they changed the words of consecration from "for many" to "for all". When I finally see an article that the USCCB is going to revise the English Translation to say "for all."...

    new pledge of allegence

    I've been lucky enough to go to private school all my life, I went to pre-school at my parish, Kindergarten to 8th at a school, taught by a couple Dominican sisters there, mass every Wednesday. Hated the kids, a lot of them were just rude, not a lot of dicipline. High School was amazing though...

It's a type of pickle, but it's more of a salad, both of which you didn't want but hey. It's pretty good really cold, the cucumbers take on...

    Need advice. To what extent should we go out of our way to 'love our neighbor'?

    But I think right now it has gotten to the point where we have a decision: Do we just part ways now, or do we try to keep this friendship going. If I may be honest this friendship sounds a lot like she thinks it is a boyfriend/girlfriend thing, I've asked her about it before, but she gets angry...

    Need advice. To what extent should we go out of our way to 'love our neighbor'?

    Ok, so here's the thing. I graduated High School this year, and at High School last year I became friends with this girl, who is a little socially awkward, everyone there was nice to her, but it was a big struggle, because sometimes she would get offended at something you do and be really mad at...

    Pagans on the Eucharist, now that the "evangelicals" and the atheists seem to agree.

    I remember this! I translated some of the Pliny in Latin III. Love the fact that we have a history to quote. All our fights have been fought before.

    Well, this hardly seems fair.

    But what would that room have? Some kneelers and a tabernacle with the Eucharist, or a place where kids can sing along with some Christian rock songs, or a Gospel choir? The muslims all have one prayer they say. In Christianity hundreds of opinions on what the bible means and how we should...

    Why must Cosmic Charlie be a carbon lifeform on this planet - OBOB Thread

    I've got a better question for you. How can you prove that we exist! Have you ever met us? For all you know, you could just have stumbled on a massive super computer experiment to create an online community of a million different AI programs that all take up a different denomination and pass...
