    June Forward in Christ.

    I appreciated the June issue of Forward in Christ. The newsletter from the President and the article on the family from Venezuela which was done without getting political.

    Catholic (Christian) response to immigration.

    There are several reasons I no longer identify as a Republican these days, but I can't be a Democrat either. I've been agreeing a lot with the ASP, and voted for them (write-in in my state) in 2024. I'm conservative, pro life, pro small government, pro traditional values, marriage,etc, 2nd...

    Prayer for my son in law

    My son in law is suffering with sever back pain due to an injury and so far no medicine has helped. Surgery may be an option but please pray that the doctors will be able to fine the cause of the pain and reach a resolution and for healing.

    Interesting article and...

    If what is said in this article is the case then all the speculation about certain current political leaders being the Antichrist will not be the case as some early church leaders said he would be born of a (defiled) virgin which makes sense. (Artificial insemination?) I was interested in the...

    Trumps is the father of IVF?

    https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4936468-trump-town-hall-fox-news-harris-faulkner-focus-father-of-ivf Was it necessary for him to say this? Is this a ploy to get votes? Wouldn't it be enough for him to say we support IVF?

    Difference between Orthodox and Catholic Eucharist.

    I know Orthodox do not believe in transubstantiation right? As a Lutheran we believe that Jesus is present in the bread and wine but we believe they remain bread and wine.(Jesus is present in, with and under.) What exactly do Orthodox believe? And what happens with leftover bread and wine...

    Posting in fellowship. I've always been opposed to IVF for almost all reasons, even though I'm not Catholic. I think the Catholics are right about this. I do have friends and family that have struggled with fertility. I have friends who did use this to conceive their beautiful children who...

    Thoughts of next pet.

    We have a wonderful cat that will be 18 in 2 months. She is in good shape for her age, indoor only, still goes up and down stairs and quality of life and health is good. I'm thinking maybe she could live to be 20 or beyond. She's been the family pet, watched my kids move out, and she is very...

    Bilocation, stigmata and other Saints miracles

    I know that in the Catholic Church there are saints that have had the ability to bi-locate(Padre Pio, Sr. Faustina,etc) and also those who had the stigmata and were able to exist on only the elements of the Eucharist for months or years. Are there accounts of the same things in Orthodoxy? I...

    Rod Dreher

    Does anyone here follow him? I started following him when his book "The Benedict Option."came out. I liked the book, and started to read his blog on a regular bases around 2017 or 2018 when I started following Journey to Orthodoxy. I read with interest his conversion from Roman Catholicism to...

    In the Lutheran Church, who may administer the Sacraments?

    This came up in my mind during COVID lockdowns. I believe that in the RCC and Eastern Orthodoxy, only the Priest may administer communion or maybe consecrate it and let deacons distribute it? How about the Lutheran Church? We are different than other Protestant denominations in that we believe...

    Who is the Church? According to Lutheranism.

    I agree with a poster up in the Anglican section who has said that the "Traditional Church."is the Roman, Orthodox and Lutheran/Reformed. These are churches where the gospel is preached and the sacraments rightly administered. And this is what I still believe, and why it is hard for me to...
