    It's Bad When the New York Times Defends the Pope

    I am of the opinion that the New York Times is opposed to almost everything contained within the orthodox teachings of the Church, so when that newspaper defends the Pope, I tend not to think that it's a good thing. It seems to me that in any other circumstance, they'd be castigating anyone...

    "Agora" and Hypatia - Hollywood Strikes Again

    Here's likely the next big thing in Christian-bashing: the new film Agora. Here is a link to a great article - by an atheist even - setting the record straight on what the film gets wrong.

    Anniversary gift help

    My ninth wedding anniversary is coming up next week, and I am so lucky and blessed to be in this situation. However, I am stumped for an anniversary gift. My wife is difficult to buy for: she almost always claims not to want anything, and almost never buys herself anything. I try to stick to the...

    The Catholic Church added books to the Bible???

    In seeking a fuller understanding of Evangelical Protestant theology, I've been reading Pastor Mark Driscoll's book Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe. I understand that Pastor Mark's got some things about him which are controversial, but it seems to me that his theology is pretty...

    Reconciliation this weekend?

    I've been away from the Church for a little bit and was planning to make a new start this Easter. As such, I was hoping to make a good Confession this weekend so as to be able to receive Communion on Sunday. Are the practices different this weekend? I ask because I can't seem to find a parish...

    Son has ADHD and I hate how I deal with it

    1. Pardon the wall of text. If you back out now without reading further, I'll understand. 2. I am opening up here and leaving myself open to some harsh criticism. In this post, I am sharing things that I can never say aloud or even in some cases admit to. I know that. I don't talk like this...

    Old New Sunday Missal?

    If I were to purchase a Sunday Missal published in 1986, would it be any different from one published in 2009? Would it have any different content? Have there been any changes to the Mass or rubrics or prayers used or anything since then? Thanks!

    Confused, overwhelmed and discouraged: Confession

    I'm feeling a little confused and upset around the issue of confession. Some of you may know where I'm coming from: I am attempting during Lent (and hopefully long after) to be a weekly Communicant for the first time ever. I spent a couple of years (when I was most on fire) not being able to...

    Are you on medication?

    I've been on anti-depressants for over ten years and over the last few of those years I've been observing and concluding that my problems seem really to be anxiety related. So much of my life is motivated by fear. Anyway, I've been on anti-depressants and they help me tremendously. Is anyone...

    Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms?

    I've been on anti-depressants for over ten years now and I want very, very much to get off of them. I have had problems when I have come off them in the past. I tried cold turkey a few times (baaaad news), and also tried weaning myself off, both with and without a doctor's supervision. Things...

    Dangit! Important question!

    Okay, this is the second time this has happened to me. Last Saturday I went to confession in the AM and was pleased that it went well, and I performed my penance. Later that afternoon, while discussing something with my wife, I accidentally let slip the word that's kind of like "goldarnit." I...

    Television troubleshooting?

    I'm not sure whether this is the most appropriate place for this question, as my plain old television set likely doesn't qualify as a gadget anymore. The issue is that my television worked just fine last night but would not even power on this morning. There was no symptomology prior to this...

    Let off easy at Confession?

    So this is probably a popular question, but my quick Googling didn't present me with anything helpful regarding Reconciliation as a Catholic sacrament. I admit it - it's been a while since I last went to confession, and that hasn't been because I've been sin-free and didn't see a need. So, I...

    Got those partisan search engine blues

    -Google has been doing some things over the past few years which I think are kind of uncool, but I didn't know about the following and wonder if it was common knowledge: from the L.A. Times

    Wife has "secret" account?

    The other day I went to check my online mail account and when I got to the site it looked like I was already logged in. I was confused by the info I saw, though, until it became clear to me that my wife had to have been checking her own online email account and forgot to log out. Well, it's got...
