    A beautiful perspective on the Priesthood

    I read this quote from the much respected Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Hierotheos Vlachos, which to me underscores the concept of the priesthood and episcopate in the traditional churches: “The Priest holds a great position in the Divine Liturgy, because he asks the Father to send the Holy...

    Kingdom of Priests

    My read of Exodus only mentions male priests. If you believe that today we as Christians are priests then what happens to the women? Can a woman be a priest of the lord and when did that change in scripture?

    Jesus Taught Us to Submit to Health Authorities

    I hear many Christians saying that government is out of line asking people to wear masks and practice social distancing. It should be an individual choice, they say. But dealing with infectious diseases isn’t always an matter of individual choice. Typhoid Mary (1870-1938) was ordered not to...

    Levitical Priests Never Commanded to Teach on the Sabbath

    Here is a problem for SDA and others who believe that Saturday worship is laid down in the Ten Commandments and reinforced by the first books of the Old Testament. The Sabbath Commandment, or the Fourth Commandment, as some Protestants call it, is labor law. The goal is to give everyone a day...

    How can Priests/Pastors forgive sins?

    It's a little confusing to me to understand the process. Can someone explain this?

    Blessing via radio

    During the recitation of the rosary live on the radio, the priest at the end sometimes blesses the religious objects. Can our objects at home be blessed via radio ?

    Hell, Darkness and the Pit

    For most of my life I had heard people talk about these Biblical concepts, and had been led to believe they were one and the same Hell = the pit / abyss Satan is in hell, Satan = sin, Hell is where sinners go, and so on and so forth Let's examine these words using the concordances αδης hades...

As Martin Luther did, they use 1 Peter 2:9 to support this claim: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people.” Catholics argue that a ministerial priesthood does...

    Prayers for me and the priest at mass today

    I can't go into details but, can please pray for me and at mass today? (Not my parish priest) I was irritated earlier, now I'm just shaken, I'm more upset than angry, I've calmed down quite a bit and I'm about to enjoy a nice dinner. Still I think it's wise I stay off the internet until...

    The Good Catholic trailer

    Hey forum, I'm with the production team behind the new film "The Good Catholic" starring Danny Glover & John C. McGinley. I feel the portrayal of the Catholic Church in most forms of media is limited to scandals or stereotypes, fueling a dismissive attitude towards religion from people outside...

    I've been a Catholic for a good number of years. But I've never been to confession. Is it necessary?
