Not really, its not very secular. It has taken some turns but it's not secular. In my town I have at least 23 churches and many in the towns around.
I love Canada and its laws, maybe its just my town that's different.
Canada is of course a multicultural haven. My Chinese uncle receives no discrimination and lives in harmony among other ethnicities. I admire Canada for its pacifist and non-interventionist attitude towards global politics, hence the reason why it is ranked as one of the most peaceful countries in the world. I also believe that its health care plans are quite benefitical, to some extent (economics show that privatised health care can be more efficient and affordable at the same time).
Still, Canada has followed the path of western Europe in secularising. On the federal level, same-sex marriage and abortions are permitted. I cannot think of any Christian, let alone Catholic, who would support such sinful things. People who speak out against these things can be arrested for being ''homophobic'', ''reactionary'' etc.
The United States has not gone down that path because 80% of the population will not allow it. I only hope that the government of Canada can go back to its Christian roots. The Conservative Party needs to do more than just fiscal conservatism, they must save Canadian society from the clutches of the nihilism that has taken over western Europe (even Ireland now that abortions are fully legal there).
Pardon me, but she is wrong, you should be praying. You should be connecting with God.
Yes, but according to Protestants I am ''worshiping'' Mary. I am apparently an idolator and should not take into account that Mary brought Christ into the world, thus granting our salvation. How dare Protestants degrade the image of our Lady...
Again, I am sorry you were treated that way. I actually know quite a bit of the Catholic faith, I identify as just Christian myself but yeah I know a lot. I actually went to a Catholic for 4 years.
Do take in mind that Catholics are Christians...prior to the Second Vatican Council, we actually believed that we were the only Christians. There's so much bias against the Church over the net, especially mainstream ''born again'' Christian websites. They say things such as the Church emerged from Paganism, that we liken Mary to Roman goddesses...
The fact of the matter is that if God looked upon the heart of a Catholic, He would only find love (despite all our ''idolatry''). I cannot accept the fact that some Protestants believe that people like Mother Theresa should go to hell. So much for not judging others...
Interesting that you know about the Catholic faith...if you ever feel compelled to look more into the Church that Jesus founded, please feel free to do so, I'm willing to provide guidance. Despite all the propaganda against the Church, truth will overcome.
My mother, She helped me in the hard times, and always she told me to pray, Well i really thank her for who i'm now. Maybe sometimes i do bad things, like insult or fight with people but I always pray to stop it. Well lately all christian people are going on the wrong side of the road... :/ Hope it will get better with the time.
