I hope the OP doesn't mind that I made the correction. Good thoughts.

People have all kinds of different reasons for thinking and doing things. Not putting error on an equal footing with truth, just stating the fact.

YouTube doesn't like that. I had a similar utility installed (as part of MalwareBytes) and I kept getting these nasty messages from YouTube about blocking their ads. I finally disabled it where YouTube was concerned. So far as I recall, the poster (who has since been removed from CQ for...

Not clear what you are getting at here. Could you elaborate?

It can't be helped, it's just in the nature of YouTube and there's no way to block it (aside from paying a fee to avoid advertisements altogether). Anyone using YouTube should realize this, and ignore ads that aren't of interest. It also usually gives you an option to skip the ad after a few...

I have no issue per se with YouTube videos on CQ. Go ahead and post what you've got.

There is indeed an influx, not the tidal wave that any faithful Catholic should wish to see, but definitely a noticeable "spike". Laus Deo!

All forms of the Mass trace their roots back to the Last Supper. The earliest liturgies were actually in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. The Roman Rite emerged in, of course, Rome, which was at the beginning a kind of "outpost" of the nascent Catholic Church, but in time became the center of what...

Here is the relevant passage, this from the Lasance missal: At the very least, it goes back to the promulgation of the Tridentine missal in 1570 by Pope St Pius V, and very likely way before then, Pius did not just create a eucharistic canon out of whole cloth, the Tridentine missal was...

I have to think that priests are much busier than they used to be (increased workload and fewer of them), and they don't have time for each and every parishioner. That is sad, but it's pretty much the reality of our day. If this priest is serving six churches, he's definitely got a lot on his...

Have you asked the tribunal about this? I don't know how they handle such situations. It's kind of apples and oranges, but when my wife filed for an annulment of our marriage (this after have been invalidly "remarried" for a decade), I chose not to respond. The diocese gave me that option and...

Be assured that my first impulse is to assume that my intuitions are wrong, and that there is more to the situation than meets the eye. Nonetheless, when I do a bit of digging (by getting to know the person better and being around them), my instincts are usually right. Even animals and small...

Well, the Apostles' Creed, so far as I have been able to determine, was originally written in Latin, whereas the Nicene Creed was written in Greek. That could have something to do with it. I'm just guessing.

I know of no traditional Catholic moral teaching that says "never assume that another person is committing a sinful act". It would be awfully naive to see a couple, especially of a virile age, known not to be in a valid marriage, cohabitating and presenting themselves to society as being...

I'm talking about people who, immediately upon meeting them, seem to have some kind of evil presence. It's a hard thing to describe, but I know it when I sense it. And once I get to digging and find out more about them, my initial discomfort proves to be well-founded.
