    Spend more time in prayer than in debating with strangers.

    Bear in mind that the internet is the playground of sociopaths and psychopaths. All manner of personality/thought disorders have free rein to stalk, harass, and offend at zero cost to them. There is a new category of disorder called iPredopath. These, especially, need our prayers. They infest...

    DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OUR TWO MAIN CREEDS

    The very confused and peculiar English language lends itself to much obscurity and misunderstanding. Conversely, older, (or dead) languages, present no such controversy. For this reason, as to scripture, I much prefer translations based on the Latin Vulgate. Without the rock of Latin...

    Do you think Trump was protected by God - to save the USA?

    While attention is diverted to The Don, he has assembled the most Catholic administration in history.

    Exorcisms

    Suggestions: Stop watching horror movies and listen to a few YouTube vids from Fr. Vincent Lampert.

    Invalid Marriage & the Eucharist

    Yet, any presumption by others would be the sin, no? Charity demands that we think the best of others and do not pry into their lives.

    Invalid Marriage & the Eucharist

    As I have been instructed, if "spouses" are living as brother and sister, and are unaware of serious sin, then the Eucharist may indeed be received. As to scandal, I 'believe' that it does not occur because of misperception by those beholding a given situation. Rather, it is an active behavior...

    Divine Mercy Sunday - do you think it needs a counterbalance?

    "Some" knowledge of evil and its father, the evil one, is good as it equips the Christian to recognize and avoid his influence. He has not stopped roaming and patrolling the earth. He remains as subtle as ever.

    Divine Mercy Sunday - do you think it needs a counterbalance?

    What if it wasn't? Do we need a "Divine Damnation Sunday"?

    Divine Mercy Sunday - do you think it needs a counterbalance?

    Nope. Try thinking of mercy without explicit or implicit reference to justice.

    I think becoming Catholic means that my parents failed me

    You are called to faith for the sake of your soul; to know, love and serve God; to be at peace within a world at war. I believe that you were created to seek and accept the light of Christ and to demonstrate that light to your family. It may feel to be an awesome responsibility, but God's grace...

    A blessed Easter to all!

    Christ is risen. Let us offer a prayer for the conversion of all who do not yet place their faith in the risen Lord! As the Parousia draws ever nearer, and will arrive suddenly, have mercy on us, O Lord. By the power of the Holy Spirit, draw many souls to your breast. May your light guide all...

    The Iran conflict

    We err if we examine the Iran conflict in a vacuum. It must be placed in historical perspective. Iran is perhaps the purest expression of Islam; a violent, expansionist ideology. Its history is soaked with blood, slavery and oppression. Many Popes have had to confront the threat head-on...

    The Iran conflict

    Iran, North Korea and all west-hating nations, are vassals of Red China. Mao Tse Dong established the destruction of the west as the goal of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949. Nothing has changed. Do we wait for the invasion before we take action? What happened to prudence?
