Comm.Arnold, I can understand how you would get that impression based on the following verses: Luke 9:58 Matthew 8:20 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for...

Jesus had authority over creation. He walked on water, calmed the sea, raised the dead, healed the sick....Interestingly, the Feeding of the Multitudes is the only miracle that appears in all four gospels. What happens next is related, for if He has the authority to multiply temporary food, He...

For the second time, if you are going to quote a statistic, cite your source. Please, count the number of bishops who were convicted of aiding and abbeting a felon. With the media and the internet the way it is, you shouldn't have any problem coming up with whatever figure holds the most shock...

Groundzero, I am so sorry. You suffered terribly in a dark time of your life and you said you still are. I believe God wants to heal you of those wounds. While I pray for your healing you should go and talk to a wise pastor and tell him what you told us. Let's fight the battle on those two...

The question, "Is homosexuality a sin" is ambiguous. It is not a sin to be a homosexual, it is a sin to do homosexual things. Big difference. That is why I could not vote. By developing an interior life of chastity, which is the universal call to all Christians, one can move beyond the confines...

I think tithing is admirable, but it should never be required. There seems to be as many pastors opposed to tithing as there are in favor. There are lots of struggling single moms on welfare who take their kids to church every Sunday. Expecting them to tithe when they don't have enough food to...

Please go back one page to post #418, or scroll up to post # 422. It seems you missed the explanation of what mystery means. Or maybe it's too long and boring to read. But you are not alone. Lots of people skip over anything that is longer that 2 sentences. I myself skip over long lists of...

I love a challenge!!! It makes me pray, research, and think! Since I've prayed all day for this forum, and I am too tired to think, I'll just throw some thoughts around off the top of my head. Acts 1:6 Are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Isreal? What a loaded question. Jesus...

Dear Ruth, Thank you for that video. I believe every word that man said. I marveled at his simplicity. He has no degrees in theology or philosophy but his testimony is in line with sound teaching. A man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an argument. Templar81, limbo was...

Thank you for clarifying the position the Catholic Church has towards non-Catholic Christians. I do not agree with Neophyte's condescending style in the opening post, but we are all at various stages of development. Note the confession he/she made in his/her second post. I've examined all of...

You are the one that said, "there is a reason that book isn't actually in the Bible." Actually it is, it just isn't in yours. 45 But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement...

While it happened sometimes, it is a gross exaggeration to say it was systematic. You have no evidence but for a few guilty bishops who followed world trends instead of obeying canon law. In the book of Ezekiel, God doesn't obliterate the people of God for their sins, He cleanses and purifies...

In accordance with a requirement of President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, in 2002 the Department of Education carried out a study of sexual abuse in the school system. Hofstra University researcher Charol Shakeshaft looked into the problem, and the first thing that came to her mind when...

The problem with his post is that sex scandals have nothing to do with post #24, nothing to do with any post, and nothing to do with the topic. Not once did I mention any church. It was on the topic of poverty as it applies to all Christians. Since he can't find anything wrong with my post he...

Catholics don't read the catechism the same way as a Muslim reads the Qu'ran, which is not how to read the catechism. No amount of information will alter a preconceived notion. You refuse to even entertain the possibility that you are mistaken about the rosary. So why bother answering you...

Only the Holy Spirit can heal bigotry and self hatred, all we can do is pray that God delivers them from their nightmare world of doom and gloom.

But you are anti-church. That's why you can't answer my question. You don't agree with anybody. A "church" founded 10 or 20 years ago, that has no valid bishops and no sacrifice, is not, by definition, a church. I dare you to tell me the MAN that founded your "church". Anti-Catholics...

In the recitation of the rosary, the mysteries of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are meditated on. The prayers are just for background, like combining music with hymns. There are 20 mysteries, so rather than elaborate on all 20 of them, I will just pick one decade of the Luminous...

We all have bibles. Nobody reads miles of scriptures in a forum. Here's a bit of advice if you want your post to be taken seriously. If you want to quote scripture, post the verse address. The automatic reference is an outstanding feature, and it will save you time and space. Groundzero, I...
