Good Friday is one of the most solemn days of the authentic Christian faith's calendar, arguably the most solemn day. Good Friday is the one day of the year when the pastors of the ancientest Christian tradition do not /are not authorized to consecrate the host, but only distribute Holy...

I read about the Brunei. Laws authorize stoning as punishment for LGBT/I/Q/+ conjugal behavior, but you know what else? Common heterosexual adultery. I don't know how to process the uproar over LGBT/Q/I/+, combined with the silence over adultery. My own Christian faith takes them as equally...

How is it possible if the earth's flat? I'm not saying that it's proof, but it really demands a satisfactory explanation. If I want to go west, and south of my current position, then I head south-west. But not from New York to Southeast Asia. For that, I go north-west, and I get there...

In order to fly from New York to southeast Asia, which is west and south of New York, the fastest straight line route is to fly northwest from New York instead of southwest. Southeast Asia is south and west of New York. But instead you fly northwest, in a certain direction, on a straight...

We must respect people. We don't have to agree with them, but we must respect them. I believe that 'Love your neighbor' means at minimum, 'Respect your neighbor.' And when our neighbor doesn't respect us, then we must recall our prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who...

People have forever tried to protect their own from criminal prosecution. It's wrongheaded and unjust. It occurs in families, in the police and military, in government, in business, and yes, in churches. It needs to stop. Whenever there is a criminal complaint against someone, call the...

The problem was and sadly remains, that bishops didn't want to simply refer complainants to local police, when they reported that priests were committing crimes. This behavior of not involving the police in criminal complaints, occurs in lots of organizations, including businesses, schools...

That's a tough row to hoe. I don't recommend it, and neither does the Catholic Church so far as I can tell from the authorized Catholic teachings found in the 'Catechism of the Catholic Church.' Agreed. That's all right. I recommend though following Catholic advice on this matter, which is...

:D "Rats" nominated for 'Best Rock Song' Grammy, and Prequelle for 'Best Rock Album.' ;)

Melania's Catholic. The Apostles' Creed is a prayer in the rosary, and is recited at Mass during Lent (the Nicene Creed the rest of the time). She didn't need to read it off a piece of paper.

Haven't evangelicals taught that there is temptation, which does not make us guilty of any sin, and indulging temptation, that does? There's the thought, and then there's the choice to embrace the thought; that last part's the sin, isn't it? How can we any of us control what thoughts pop into...

What are Jesus' clear teachings on homosexual, Meshak?

He does? Really? Where is that verse?

Meshak, what did Jesus teach us about homosexual?

I am aware that "homosexual acts [are] acts of grave depravity," "are intrinsically disordered," "are contrary to the natural law," "close the sexual act to the gift of life," "do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity," and, "Under no circumstances can they be...

Still waiting on what confusion.

What confusion.

Regardless, the right of LGBT people to keep and bear arms ought not be infringed in any way. LGBT people possess the inalienable right to self defense, and that with the most superlative weapons that are produced today. It was a joke. We already have that in the Bill of Rights. 'Problem is...
