    Should Christians celebrate Christmas

    The Winter Solstice was NOT a Roman Civil holiday until the late 3rd Century AD. The Emperor Aurelian made December 25th a civil holiday because the Christians were already using it to celebrate the Birth of Jesus and he was trying to detract from the Christian celebration! None of the Sun...

    Where in the Bible

    Nowhere. However, homosexuals "...must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's...

    Pope Francis should declare an inquisition!

    It's nice you recognize the Pope as a person with authority, but he is not a policeman. We have enough problems with very few American Catholic Churches in rebellion, but I don't think they bully anybody. As for other American churches, such as the Westborough Baptist, they are outside of the...

    Is the POPE really HOLY?

    In all pages of this thread, there have been no derogatory remarks about His Holiness the 14 Dhali Lama. That would be politically incorrect.

    Magic and Paranormal Abilities?

    I wouldn't be concerned about your dreams coming from evil. They come from the sub-conscious. I've heard it said that all the characters in our dreams are just aspects of ourselves. I would not recommend this forum for new Catholics. http://forums.catholic.com/ is more suitable for you.

    Is the POPE really HOLY?

    Is the POPE really HOLY? The question reflects a misunderstanding. The writer of Hebrews calls the recipients of his epistle “holy brethren” (Heb 3:1). Peter refers to a “holy priesthood” (1 Pet 2:5) and “holy women” such as Sarah (1 Pet 3:5) and “holy prophets” (2 Pet 3:2; cf. Acts 3:21...

    Where are all the Catholics?

    I wonder what the consensus is on why Catholics avoid this forum.

    From one Christian personally view

    Because He wasn't a hippie flower child from the '60's.

    Slovakia is banning Muslim immigration.

    Muslims riot in Paris, France. Marseilles is now 30-40% Muslim. Excessive violence, riots, and rapes are turning it into a third world city in the heart of Europe. Why do Muslims riot in Sweden? For the same reason they riot every where else...

    What would evolution being disproved do for creationism?

    If evolution were dis-proven, the few magical creationists would pound their drum louder. What gets me is that atheistic evolutionists can put on a philosophy hat and theistic evolutionists can't.

    Having lamb tonight? Might want to think twice

    This is not the place to defend against prejudicial insults that have nothing to do with the topic. The claim that the Church cannot teach morals because she has sick people in it who ignore church teachings is a stupid remark. It was an irrelevant dig based on my identity and nothing that I...

    Having lamb tonight? Might want to think twice

    Wonderful. Which one is pregnant? The meaning of marriage is under threat of weakening and it involves whole societies, not just individuals. There is no potential for procreation in a gay marriage because it cannot be a marriage. There is nothing moral about test tube babies, and there are...

    Having lamb tonight? Might want to think twice

    I agree. Collect your evidence of "long history" where the Church sanctioned raping of children and post a new thread in the Catholic DIR. I won't discuss the topic anywhere else. Disrupting a thread with scandals is just a handy bat to beat Catholics with and it doesn't always work.

    Having lamb tonight? Might want to think twice

    Actually, there is. "Gay marriage" (which is impossible) weakens the meaning of marriage, an institution that is the foundation of civilization. If everybody was gay, the human race would be wiped out in one generation. I admit that is extreme on the spectrum of horror and a rather silly thing...

    Paul vs "the law" (can humans earn righteousness?)

    What they needed was a Council in Jerusalem with full apostolic authority to settle the matter, which they got. James on the other hand, in a general epistle to everyone, felt it necessary to emphasize the importance of works... saying in James 2:17-20: " 17 Even so faith, if it hath not...

    Having lamb tonight? Might want to think twice

    For now, bestiality is a sexual perversion. It is repugnant to most people because it violates the natural law. Now that we have same-sex "marriages", and polygamy in some places, watch for demands to marry one's favorite pig, goat or sheep. Now that marriage is redefined, there is no...

    Taking the fight to satan

    It appears? Yes, demonizing the Catholic Church is attacking. It's a gross misrepresentation. The post should be moved to the "I-Hate-God/Catholicism" forum. "One world religion centered in Rome" is a joke, completely contrary to the Vatican Declaration on Religion Freedom. The idea is being...

    Circumcision and non-religious people

    That's too bad. Just guessing, but perhaps in America it's all about money. How much does a doctor get for performing an unnecessary procedure? $6-800? Parents have the right to refuse, and more would if they got an education. They should go into the hospital nursery on circumcision day and...

    Circumcision and non-religious people

    Parents of newborns are hard pressed to find a doctor to perform a circumcision; it simply is not done as a matter of routine. They stopped doing routine circumcisions in the 60's. If guys were born before then, chances are you have been circumcised. Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is...

    Is science against the Revealed Religion?

    "...no real disagreement can exist between the theologian and the scientist provided each keeps within his own limits. . . . If nevertheless there is a disagreement . . . it should be remembered that the sacred writers, or more truly ‘the Spirit of God who spoke through them, did not wish to...
