    Why do so many Catholics use contraception? Experts weigh in

    Oh, really, Riles you gotta read HV. It's not that long (30 paragraphs), and it's written pretty straight forward, so it's not hard to understand.

    This ER doctor urges you to stop making this horrible mistake on the highway...

    We don’t have a vocations crisis, we have a crisis of faith

    See, every once in a while Fide goes deep on me and then I start thinking. The vast majority of Catholic I grew up with dropped out somewhere along the way. Mostly it was sex scandals, control of money at the parish level and, in my Archdiocese anyway, gay marriage. (O, the fight we had). But...

    Is God All Things? Are All Things Really One?

    At a quantum level, it's hard to dispute that everything is one and all things are dependent on each other. Of course, on a quantum level, nothing really makes sense anyway. So, where does that leave us ? On the outside looking into a universe in superposition waiting for us to make the...

    Davidnic - Anybody know what happened to him ? No activity since 2021 and a private profile.

    Curiosity question: Which state was he in and which state was he considering a move to ? He and I both were concerned about our respective internet profiles and never shared much. It's a necessity in this big interwebs of ours but unfortunately that lead to this: "Where did everyone go ?" In...
