I personally know someone who claims she was paralyzed in half of her body for years and she went to Medjugorje, and was healed instantly while attending mass.

There is something misleading in the analysis of this. It is illegal in China for the officials to do that. Forced abortion is not a policy or law of the government, but a practice by local officials in many places who are acting outside the law and consequently is not the enforcement of the one child policy.

This is why Chen Guangcheng, the blind activist who was in the news, was campaigning against forced abortions in Shandong - it was because under the law these things are totally illegal … [Más]

The woman at the beginning: she has a mouth but has no ears, she is willing to talk but isn't willing to listen.

For certain a homosexual orientation is a defect from God's plan and that following the feelings to commit homosexual acts is sinful.

However, the bishop is a bishop, and not a doctor or a neural scientist, and he isn't in an authoritative position to speak about whether homosexual tendencies can be cured through therapy.

I think he and others in the church are putting themselves in a dangerous position if they go beyond what is written in the catechism about the sinfulness of the acts, and … [Más]

Something around perhaps 96% of Starbucks' coffee is purchased from poor coffee farmers in the third world who sell at prices that give them pitiful wages that they can barely support themselves on. They can earn as little as 4 cents for every pound of coffee that they pick by hand, and many don't have enough money to give their children education or healthcare.

If Starbucks wanted to engage in something to stand up for human rights and the dignity of people, wouldn't this have been a more … [Más]

"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Hi Holyrope,

i also am unsure if the 1910 apostolic mandate is in contradiction with what (the quote) he wrote in 1906 when he excommunicated the mariavites in Poland. In the 1910 mandate, he doesn't tell us to attack or criticize the bishops when the great movement of apostasy is in the course of playing itself out.

In the case of the sex abuse- this can be given over, not only to the pope, but also to the police-both of them possessing authority derived from God.

In the case of bishops … [Más]

Hi Holyrope,

I'm not sure if the statements are mutually contradictory. If they are, then St Pius, sitting in Peter's chair and already recognized by the church as a saint, is the higher authority of the two in any event. But I don't think they are contradictory because there is a manner of influencing those God places above us to do as they ought without openly attacking and judging them.

Here is a very good method to start with:

On the other hand, to pass judgment upon or to rebuke the acts of Bishops does not at all belong to private individuals - that comes within the province only of those higher than they in authority and especially of the Sovereign Pontiff, for to him Christ entrusted the charge of feeding not only His lambs, but His sheep throughout the world. At most, it is allowed in matters of grave complaint to refer the whole case to the Roman Pontiff, and this with prudence and moderation as zeal for the … [Más]

On the part of the rich man, it calls for great generosity, willing sacrifice and diligent effort. Each man must examine his conscience, which sounds a new call in our present times. Is he prepared to support, at his own expense, projects and undertakings designed to help the needy? Is he prepared to pay higher taxes so that public authorities may expand their efforts in the work of development? Is he prepared to pay more for imported goods, so that the foreign producer may make a fairer profit … [Más]

one thing they forgot: the passing of Roe vs wade also occurred at the same time as the american apollo program was cancelled, and no more manned missions would be sent beyond earth's orbit up to this day.

In Israel there are jewish converts to catholicism whose mother tongue is hebrew; for them it is the vernacular. In the city of Beersheba there is a parish that does mass only in hebrew.

where does this come from? What is the name of the movie?

I think there's part of the joke that's missing. This takes place on the feast of John the baptist.

God bless,

he didn't say the 'Eternal Father' but rather the 'common father'; I think he wasn't referring to God, but rather he was referring to the pope, who is referred to by Paul VI as 'the father of all men'.

On the note of the Pope's message to the GIs though, 'in the midst of uncertainies, make one thing certain':

"For We know that if all the sorrows and calamities of these stormy times, by which countless multitudes are being sorely tried, are accepted from God's hands with calm submission, they … [Más]

I've been to a muslim restaurant with a sign out front that stated that non-halal foods were prohibited from being brought in. One day, while eating in this restaurant, I noticed a crate in the corner, which upon closer inspection while I was walking at, turned out to be filled with bottles of beer.

that's amazing. maybe they should do this more often? maybe other places should try it?

keep up the good work and God bless,

Lord, please look after John Corapi and the people involved in this affair. Remove the sins that have created this and make those forgive, who need to forgive, and make those repent, who need to repent. Do not allow this to serve as a means for the enemy to introduce disunity among the church, but heal it of this wound and all such similar wounds. We ask for these things, if it is your will, in Jesus' name, Amen

God bless,

If someone attacks a homosexual activist, it's called a hate crime. Attacks against christians are not treated equally, I think.

Keep up the good work!

"IN the year of our Lord 449, Martian being made emperor with Valentinian, and the fortysixth from Augustus, ruled the empire seven years. Then the nation of the Angles, or Saxons, being invited by the aforesaid king, arrived in Britain with three long ships, and had a place assigned them to reside in by the same king, in the eastern part of the island, that they might thus appear to be fighting for their country, whilst their real intentions were to enslave it.
