Can we put an end to political threads on both sides the spectrum? They are just regurgitations of other politically biased websites. Being first and formost a Catholic sub-forum, why do we have to be subjected to such political garbage. Unless the OP can in someway intellegently relate thier...

but I am back from an extended time away from this forum. I see many of the same folks around as well as plenty of new names. As for me I am the same, just older. Nothing really new to talk about. I hate election years they always bring out the worst in people including me, so I will try and...

I finally took the plunge and started a blog. http://solemortification.wordpress.com/ It is for runner's like myself, but I try and make the spiritual connection whenever I can. It's not fancy, but it's low maintainance.

I guess it's a pretty simple question really. Are there any 'normal' people anymore? Why is it that everyone seems to suffer from some sort of abuse, neglect, addiction or mental disorder? I hate to sound like a nostalgic sentementalist, but it never used to be this way. We have made the...

If some one hasn't posted this yet. http://www.thereasonforourhope.org/ His talk The Truth played a big part in my conversion. Please share it with others.

Chill out. It will be quite a few years before you see any recognizable change. 95% of the priest today are incapable of celebrating a Latin Mass. Unlike the NO Mass they will make sure it is done right. It will be done orderly and they will need to train a large number of priest to celebrate...

Has anyone read his new book "Ordinary Work, Extraordinary Grace". I picked it up yesterday. No surprise, I like it!

Why can't the uber-Fundmentalist and preachy Bible thumpers have thier own section. This is for General Theology, not a section to yell you personal thoelogy at others and endlessly quote Scripture with no apparent attempt to make a theological statement. Or preaching endlessly while showing noe...

I was driving down the street the other day here in the shinny buckle ofthe Bible Belt, Nashvegas, TN. Where there is no such thing as being over the top when it comes to Jesus and attracting folks to your church. Vaction Bible School theme this year is CSI: Jerusalem. Not too sure who came up...

Thought I would remind everyone.

Since I have heard Baptists use this term, I thought I would ask here. What is the difference between everyday sin and backsliding sin, if that is what you would call it? Peace

Run the race, baby!

Do everything for Love. Thus there will be no little things: everything will be big. Perseverance in little things for Love is heroism. (The Way, 813) Do you really want to be a saint? Carry out the little duty of each moment: do what you ought and concentrate on what you are doing. (The...

Going to Communion every day for so many years! Anybody else would be a saint by now, you told me, and I... I'm always the same! Son, I replied, keep up your daily Communion, and think: what would I be if I had not gone? (The Way, 534) Savouring in the intimacy of your soul the infinite...

I have a topic for discussion, a philosophical one. We know what is good and evil as well as right from wrong. But what makes them so. Is it because God commands us to behave a certain way, [Do good and avoid evil] or are the acts themselves good or evil by thier nature and God for our sake...

You don't feel like doing anything and there is nothing you look forward to. It is like a dark cloud. Showers of sadness fell, and you experienced a strong sensation of being hemmed in. And, to crown it all, a despondency set in, which grew out of a more or less objective fact: you have been...

If you have a questions about Opus Dei please ask. If you want to rant about Opus Dei, start you r own thread. As I said in the other thread I am a cooperator with Opus Dei. That has never been a sercet, I am not a member. I would be glad to answer anything about the organization you might...

I have no need of miracles: there are more than enough for me in the Gospel. But I do need to see you fulfilling your duty and responding to grace. (The Way, 362) Let us say again, in word and in action: “Lord, I trust in you; your ordinary providence, your help each day, is all I need.” We do...
