Evidence for God from Science

"When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own." John 19:26-27 If Mary did have other children, t...

Tradition always changes and develops from one generation to the next, and this tradition can corrupt teachings. Kurieuo. Only ecclesial traditions are changeable/removeable. And yes, the church had problems during the reformation. And very immoral popes. For example-Alexander VI, whos one main goa...

Maybe we should take this back to the 'Cathlolic Priest' discussion

I completely agree. Scripture is divine, and all that you pointed out. It has divine authority, etc, and I deeply love scripture as well. However, I also think tradition has a place in the Church. In other words, I do not beleive in 'sola scriptura' What the Catechism says about tradition: 80 "...

The celibacy of priests is not a doctrine or a dogma so it can be changed. I personelly didn't like the idea of priests getting married because I think that a piest can better serve the people if he does not have to worry about a wife and family. "From the Documents of Vatican II "Hence th...

Alrighty, I haven't read every post on this topic yet(still can't beleive I missed it!!) but once I do, you can expect me to post again :P However I still wish to make one comment...colors, I just want to say that I'm Catholic, and I have a relationship with Christ that is evergrowing. All the 'ritu...

I found such a goldmine of information and I wish I could share it all. Unforturnately, I have limited time of the computer and many things I have yet to do. I will however, share my resources: -Catholicism for Dummies, by Rev. John Trigilio and Rev. Kenneth Brighenti -Catholic and Christian, by Ala...

Just curious, but were to protestants get the idea 'sola Scriptura'(scripture alone) :?: I mean, if you beleive in scripture alone, yet scripture says nothing about scripture alone, then someone is in error...I'm sorry I if I offended anyone in saying that. It was not intentional. Just curious :) Go...

I hope the next Pope doesn't allow marrige for priests...my personal opinion...Although the Cathechism of the Catholic Church talks about celibecy(#1579) I found this in an article I was reading, and although it concerns the Da vinci code, I think, in a way, it can relate to this topic. "He exp...

http://catholiceducation.org/articles/religion/re0545.html Explaining the Celibate Priesthood. The pope is most definitly NOT sinless(I do beleive Pope John Paul II went to confession once a week, or somewhere along that line. Why would he go he would have no reason to go if he had nothing to confes...

I love G.K. Chesterton, although all I've read of his so far is a few articles, :oops: but I was very tempted to buy 'orthadoxy' when we were in the city today, but since I had already picked out two other books, I thought I should wait. :P . lol. I also love reading C.S. Lewis(screwtape letters is ...

A few questions: 1) Do you agree that we should imitate Christ in everything we do? If so... 2) Do you agree Jesus followed the ten commandments? If so.. One of the commandments where to honor you mother and your father. If Jesus followed the commandments, which I beleive he did, then he honoured hi...

A link explaining Mary's queenship: http://www.ewtn.com/faith/teachings/marya6.htm

That same article also says: The main two interpretations some peaople try to use: "1. The Woman in this Passage represents the Church. The twelve stars are the twelve Apostles. 2. The Woman represents Israel. The stars are the twelve tribes. BOTH INTERPRETATIONS SUFFER FROM SEVERAL MAJOR FLAWS...

I'm sorry. One of my weaknesses is lack of clarity
Just, what you beleive about justification. If we are justified by faith alone etc...
