    I am Christian who has left fundamentalism...and it has left me angry and confused

    One thing I want to first say is that it sounds like the OP is still a minor living in the home, so this is a complicated situation. It's good that he/she is thinking about all this. One thing I love about Catholicism is that it honors the mystery of the faith and the complexity of scripture...

    *rants*

    Dear CeeBee, What a drag. But, don't forget, once you are grown and going to the Catholic Church fulltime, you'll see some disappointing behaviour in your fellow Catholics, as well. It's sort of a human nature thing. Don't let it make you lose faith or hope!

    Question: Are Roman Catholics generally against the evangelical denominations?

    Dear Arunma, My experience with Evangelicals is mostly those who ascribe to the born again Christian philosophy, one which I find simplistic and illogical. Maybe my definition of an Evangelical differs from your own. I strongly lean towards mysticism, something which seems to be generally...

    Anglican Schism--Lack of Strong Central Authority?

    My point is that I like having everything spelled out by my Church Hierarchy because it leaves no room for doubt. This Anglican controversy is just a more obvious one, where local Bishops were doing their own thing to the point of ordaining a practising Homosexual Bishop. I see this same...

    Anglican Schism--Lack of Strong Central Authority?

    Just reading up on the apparent formalization of the breach bettween N American Anglicans and the rest of the communion. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4302567.stm It makes me think how fortunate that I am Catholic, with a strong central authority. I know that it something that turns off...

    Question: Are Roman Catholics generally against the evangelical denominations?

    I think that different Catholics have different views. Certainly some Catholics resent Evangelicals, especially when they aggressively prostlytize Catholics. Others see Evangelicals as strong allies for conservative morality, pro-life issues, etc. So, I don't think you can say that there is a...

    The Loss of Sacramental Artwork in Churches

    I found this article very interesting and informative. It explains the reasons for the huge artistic and cultural loss's during the rennovation of Catholic Churches in the U.S. in the post Vatican II fervor. It also describes the marginalization of many sacramental devotions since then. It...

    Pope to Retire???

    Why is it so scary? The teachings of Jesus and the Church won't so easily be changed. It's not like the Vatican is going to nuke anyone. I'm not worried.:cool:
