    I reject council of Ephesus

    Fish and Chips has Jewish Origins

    The inquisition played a big part in the UK's 'undisputed national dish of Great Britain'. It was so popular even Winston Churchill exempted it from rationing during the war. Jews fleeing the 'convert or be expelled' Portuguese Monarchy went first to Spain and then to England to escape...

    Some kid committed suicide and had a funeral in a catholic church. Apparently the priest preached against suicide, indicating that the decedent wasn't in Heaven as a result. His parents have now sued the church claiming emotional distress and such. Here are my thoughts. First of all, the...

    Any Former Sedevecantists? I'd like to hear your experiences with Sedevecantism

    Hello, I am new to this forum. I grew up and was raised sedevecantist. Until recently, I have slowly by slowly---by the grace of God---started to drift away from Sedevecantism. I grew up having just some of the worse experiences with Sedevecantists. They have made me realize that being stuck...

    Why not to receive Holy Communion in the hand.

    Good day everyone, I am going to make this post not as a judgement, but on my views as to why Communion should always be received kneeling (or genuflecting) and on the tongue. I am also open to any counter arguments that would be made. Prior to Vatican II and more specifically shortly after...

    A Protestant Tours a Catholic Cathedral

    Matt spends time with a Catholic Priest, who explains all the basics of the Church, including how and why the Cathedral is set up as it is. It's really informative and a great interview.

    How Many Books Are in Your Bible? 66? 73? 81?

    So it turns out abp. Vigano was correct

    Finally the evidence has been leaked that ex-cardinal ex-priest Teddy McCarrick really was censured and restricted. Like archbishop Vigano said. I'm not surprised. We still have the difference of opinion on whether pope Francis knew archbishop Vigano told him about McCarrick.

    Question for Catholics from an ex-Protestant in search of a denomination

    I was raised Nazarene but I think I'm completely convinced at this point that I can't be Protestant. Now I just have to figure whether I should be Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. I really struggle, as many do, with the current corruption of the Church & the Papacy. I understand that it was the...
