Thank you for keeping us posted with such good news, LovebirdsFlying. Nice too, to see our prayers answered so promptly, too.

Here is a very interesting article on abortion and sodomy : Culture Wars: Apocalypto

Just let the thoughts wash over you, HighRyzer. Our heart is the seat of our Will (together with the Memory and Understanding, the faculties of the soul), not our head, not our brain, which is primarily for taking in worldly information to help us to survive in this world of time. We will be...

'God is not outdone in generosity,' LovebirdsFlying. I don't know whether it is from scripture or just tradition. In any case, all trials lead to replacement of the good or the bad by the better still. So, yes, You cannot lose, nor can you fail to gain. And its never by half measures with God.

What will the UK intelligence services think of next ? Thank you. But don't call me. I'll call you... (cough)(cough). Sorry none of the three psychiatrists could oblige you. Poor show that. -------------------------------- Re the OCD people, I believe it is what is called spiritual torment, and...

Indeed. Hence the paradox.

How could you be so incredibly foolish as to expect 'observable evidence' of supernatural, spiritual realities, as though Christianity were another name for materialism, bereft of mysteries - other than, in the latter case, how anyone could not see that materialsim involves sawing off the branch...

It is sometimes said that the people who quickly drifted away after that would have assumed Jesus was talking about cannibalism - an accusation against Christians apparently made against Christians by pagans in the early days. However, what I find interesting about this is that Jesus could have...

And even then I think you've barely touched on the subject, Tone. Physicists have discovered that the basis of everything is of the nature of information. 'In the beginning was the Word', indeed. And seemingly, ever since. The information imparted by the Shroud of Turin is fascinating, even...

I hope they don't have the nerve to claim that it's scientific, as no atheist has discovered a single, major/key, physical paradigm. All were discovered by Christians - and not just as a Sunday routine, but were, rather, in colloquial parlance, religious 'nuts'. Galileo, who remained a devout...

A beautiful post, Brinny. Thanks.

Yes. You are correct. Also, in that a lawful marriage, according to 'Church law', cannot be cancelled/annulled. The second 'illegal' that you mention, of course, being under Church law. It has caused bitterness on the part of chidren of subsequently divorced parents, since it was not made clear...

I believe the mainstream Protestant churches have helped at different times to restore balance, even sanity, to the witness of the Catholic church, though since we are all fallible human beings, it is likely to remain a 'work in progress' for the forseeable future. It's a long way from perfect...

'And the most important hit I got was a statement that the catholic annulment is only a declaration, not a legal action.' That is very interesting and makes sense. The church apparently only blesses the marriage, and that is what I must have felt ; my wife, I think, also, although to a lesser...

I can tell you the church's blessing in the case of an annulment - presumably, unless irresponsibly dispensed 'with cornflake packets' - is felt very real and palpably felt.

Is it such a sensitive subject that you don't feel you could ask her the reason for their angry reaction to such a mundane, even banal course of action as photographing them ? Would she and her father feel the same way if you wanted to paint a portrait of them ? Quite elementry questions that...

Are you trying to downplay the devilish nature of chattel slavery, LWU? Even the treatment of the African Americans in the South, since then, has been demonic. And I dare say a lot of them call themselves Christians.

I should have said, 'some of Francis' critics'. Could you explain to me what you mean by : 'Don't forget that the slavery of blacks happened with mass immigration.' What does 'mass immigration' have to do with capturing African people and enslaving them ?

Very impressive indeed.
