    I feel troubled

    This post mentions topics like suicide and religious trauma. Just a gentle warning. Hello Catholics of this forum. I don't know what to do, and I've been anxious and depressed for a few days now. I'm an ex-Catholic. I left the Church around November 2023. There were many reasons that caused me...

    Vatican's 2025 Jubilee Logo designed by woke artist

    Hello folks. You know that anime is one of my favorite genres of television. The new icon for the 2025 Jubilee celebration is pretty neat, as it reminds me of Japanese animation. However, the icon was designed by an Italian artist named Simone Legno who has ties with woke stuff. Pray for Simone...

    Namaste - is it okay for a Catholic to use the word while greeting people of the Hindu/Buddhist faith

    Is it okay for a Catholic to say namaste while greeting a Hindu, Buddhist or any other person? Namaste means, “The Divine within me bows to the same Divine within you.” Clearly the meaning is opposed to Catholic doctrine. Seeking Catholic advice, inline with the Catholic Church's...

    How the Catholic Catechism connects to Church History

    Guys, after linking the AI on my computer to a downloaded Catechism, and a downloaded Church History book, this has supercharged the AI's understanding of the Catholic Catechism. The Catechism provides a glimpse into the practices and beliefs of the early Christian Church as well as the...

    Can a Catholic be a Christian Universalist?

    Disclaimer: I do not identify as a "Catholic". When talking with my family, I learned that one of my family members recently converted to Catholicism. Now, on the Tentmaker forum, I’ve seen members who call themselves the title “Catholic” who believe in the truth, that is 1) Faith alone in...

    "The Book of Pastoral Rule" - St Gregory the Great (review)

    Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ, After completely finishing the reading of the Bible (the Bible in a year - Ascension podcast), I have been interested in how God's Word has been inspired through out the two millenniums. I am interested to see how the Canon of Scripture has been...

    The importance of traditional theology and worship

    I find myself extremely bothered this evening, because, looking at this list of churches in Cambridge, MA, it dawned on me that the only churches there where one has some assurance of traditional theology, the Roman Catholic parishes and Christ the King Presbyterian Church (PCA) have the...

    Much of the wisdom of Scripture is conveyed through prophetic typologies. St. Luke shows us with his Resurrection narrative that all Old Testament Scripture is all about Christ, and Matthew illustrates some examples, however, the majority are to be found by obvious implication. To better...

    Insurance for Vestments, Paraments, Relics, Chalices, Patens and Ecclesiastical Furniture

    Hey there, I was thinking about the high cost of good vestments and how according to sacred tradition these have to be burned if, for example, the chalice is spilled on them, and it occurred to me, ecclesiastical service items like the chalice and diskos or paten, relics, icons, paraments, and...

    Catholic Teaching for the Best Sex

    As I sit here pondering how many people will be stunned by this title, the briefest theology of sex I can give is that it's part of God's beautiful creation, and we are best to treat it as such. While Catholic morality may often appear oppressive or boring, this article describes the strong...

    Vincent of Lerins and Ecumenical Ecclesiology for Traditional Churches

    I wouldn’t dream of denying the Christianiy of a denomination that adheres to the Nicene Creed, like the SDA or the Roman Catholic Church. By the way, all legitimate Christian churches are Catholic, however you define legitimate; the exact qualifications for Catholicity are called ecclesiology...

    Mortal Sin: Yea or Nay?

    What do you think of the doctrine of mortal sin? This doctrine is often associated with Catholicism and says that some sins are so grievous as to require a special form of repentance or reparation. According to the doctrine, these sins, when done with freedom and knowledge, place one outside...

    Gay and Catholic: how to create an affirming celibate life?

    As my header says, I am exploring the possibility of becoming Catholic. The only real thing that's stopping me is the fact that I'm gay. I know what the church teaches about homosexuality and while I'm not really on board with phrases like "objectively disordered", I've been discerning celibacy...

    Eastern Orthodox on Contraception

    We seemed to have some fun last week when I asked and compared Coptic prayer of the hours to the EO, so I figured I would try something similar on a social issue. Years ago, I got some conflicting information about the Eastern Orthodox take on birth control (in marriage). 1) Before I was...
