I'm sorry, I'm struggling on how to express this, forgive me if it is not too articulate... Whenever Catholics felt there was a need for reform, new churches have emerged...but, Catholicism remained unchanged...I, for one, do not think that the Catholic church should change just to please...

I hope all turns the way you wanted...and, if not, I hope that what God sends you is even better than what you dared imagine for yourself!!

ha,ha,ha! you guys crack me up!! - Female here!

Joseph Ratzinger is the new Pope: Benedict XVI

we were tuned into the news, and we just heard: the new Pope has been elected!! (they haven't said who he is, yet!!)

John and Jesus were cousins, weren't they? ....John's mission was to prepare the way for Jesus, so people would be open to his teachings...

...I feel that CR's "mission" is to let us all ask questions and have different (and, even, sometimes opposing) views...at least, it's what attracted me, as a seeker, to these forums...If I KNEW for sure that I am a Christian, I'd join an all-christian forum...on the other hand, I am really...

As a couple, it might work, but, you might want to consider (and discuss beforehand): what happens if you decide to become a family?? what will you teach your children??

I think the dissent between Christians is that Catholics state that Mary was a virgin before, during and AFTER Christ's birth, while other denominations state that she had more children...immaculate conception is not a solely Catholic belief....As to how it was done, well, that's what's...

Thanks for posting it, Brian! ...she IS a cute kid, isn't she?...she is "living proof" that sometimes, what God intends for you is much better than what you want for yourself....

hmmmmmmmmmm....he's not only a religious leader, but also a head of state (the Vatican) ...few other religious leaders (that I know of, pardon the ignorance) are also heads of state...partly, also, because of the importance that the Catholic church had traditionally as a political force (I...

I really admired JPII...he was, in every way, a Leader. His passing is a great loss not only for the Catholic Church (in my opinion), but to the world in general...But, I am glad he is now with the Lord.

Sorry, I'm "talking" like we do at another forum I frequent...DD is Dear Daughter (a lot of moms on that forum!) I did take her to the meeting, and she enjoyed it very much. She promised the organizers she will continue to go! We also went to check out swim lessons, and there is a schedule...

Phylis, my grandmother used to say exactly that! "God answers every prayer, it's just that sometimes the answer is No"...Also, sometimes we pray and, although we say "Thy will be done", we really mean "MY will be done",and it is hard to accept that... I have always had a strong personal...

last week at my prayer workshop (every wednesday), one of the ladies mentioned that they have meetings for children at another (Catholic) church, not too far from our home. I mentioned I was interested on account of DD and they "invited" her for next Saturday, as they are holding a special party...

Also, remember the illiteracy (sp?) rate...anything put in writing in those times simply became elitist because not everyone had access to it, as opposed to oral tradition...

Columbine Goblinglitter She is a bringer of riches and wealth She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows She is only seen in the light of a shooting star

Did you know that the Mayans divided their calendar in X number of years, with 13 moons to each year? (I don't remember how many years, I think 52??) and, each phase of the moon had a name, too, of course, so, depending on the year/moon/phase in which you were born, you were given a "sign"...

no, I didn't.

This is so frustrating for me!!... I don't even know the exact date of my birth, nor the place, either!!...(I was adopted, my biological parents handed me over to my parents at a catholic church. I always thought I had been born on Jul 16th, as listed on my birth certificate...but, when my...
