I'm almost wondering how bad the Church in Belfast was treating people in Lewis' early years. It's not that Lewis' experience is the typical one, it's just that I know in Galatians 2 (?) we see St. Paul have an argument with St. Fr. Peter over what appear to be ethnocentric tendencies in the...

Hey guys, (M29) as you probably have read in the title, I'm a former Southern Baptist that started questioning and drifting and found himself, of all places, thinking he was running from God, when in reality God was running to him. Let me fill you guys in, when I was almost a senior in high...

Oh I knew that last thing you wrote. I keep going up to get blessings week after week. Happy to. The Lord is good.

Hi, male, age 29. I had a similar experience today at mass when I went up to get my blessing. I thought the guy was annoyed to see me again, coming up to get a blessing. (I'm telling you, the Devil loves to throw those kinds of thoughts at me, but I just consider it spiritual discipline...

I have read and agreed to the SoP for this forum section. I ask Lord Jesus in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to give me the ability to be humble and the strength to be teachable. Amen. Appreciate you guys.

Hmm. Are there different kinds of Catholic churches in communion with the Vatican?

I was at a parish this Sunday that had female assistants administering the sacrament. I was blessed by one of them. They are assets to the church, and anyone who says they can't serve in any capacity really need to the think about what Mary said at the annunciation, "I am the Lord's servant...

Guys, I think worship is more than songs, prayers, beliefs, and ethics. I think it's all of that. Hope that makes sense. Appreciate you guys.

I like most of what you said. Sometimes repetition can be meditation on the truth. You have a good point though. A lot of churches are meditating on meaningless things. Appreciate you.

Okay, I understand and submit to that. What does OBOB stand for?

Okay, please cite the CCC numbers...

Dern straight, and Protestants act like they don't understand the holiness of God at times. Treat people with a capitalist mentality.
