    I don't know where to post this topic at...but why do Catholics pray to Mary?

    That doesn't mean we can speak to the dead, per se, but it does mean that we are united in belief. I would think the dead can hear us, though.

    Ember Days

    Thank you for posting this. The vocations crisis is becoming real and acute; for example, I learned last night that my hometown (which has a population of 450,000) only has 14 Diocesan Priests, and these are expected to dwindle. Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest...

    Why Do We Need Leviticus?

    Well, it has two points then! :yes:

    Why Do We Need Leviticus?

    Exactly, and the moral about Onan is not that masturbation is wrong, but that interrupting the procreative process is; that's why some consider masturbation wrong, because it has no procreative purpose.

    Wife's Conversion

    And that was relevant, how? Note: I may be taking this slightly wrong, given that I hope to go and study in Rome...

    Wife's Conversion

    What on earth's that meant to mean? :confused::confused:

    sharia law in britain inevitable

    It's not legally possible to adopt sharia law lock-stock-and-barrel. It's simply impossible, due to our existing legal systems, which date back millennia. Now the private use of sharia law as civil arbitration is a completely different matter, one that Jewish Beth Din have already demonstrated...

    New Age Catholics

    I agree with what Victor is saying. Thus I immediately think the two statements are not contradictory, but Francine immediately thinks they are. It's about conclusions.

    "Sex and the Single Fascist"

    I suppose at the end of the day those who do "judge people and restrict their rights on matters that only concern their own choices" consider that even consensual acts have to accord with natural and divine law.

    "Sex and the Single Fascist"

    To my mind that is a semblance or shadow of what I'm in fact saying. It shows that we implicitly create liminal areas between what we consider as gross (I dunno; bestiality!?) and "vanilla".

    "Sex and the Single Fascist"

    I'm damned if I know!

    "Sex and the Single Fascist"

    But the two seem to be related certainly, like you say. And this is the difference then between 'good' sex and 'bad' sex, isn't it. Sex is perfectly healthy and natural, but many moral and religious systems define particular boundaries. And to my mind Britney degrading herself by acting like a...

    New Age Catholics

    Francine: I do not see Auctorem Fidei and Florence as contradicting each other. They both say that that place exists.

    "Sex and the Single Fascist"

    Oh! Look at TV and popular media. Think Britney Spears, or Kylie Minogue and their provocative music videos. At the same time, so many adverts are drawing on either overt or covert sexual imagery. .....oh, quick question: do we live in the same country? (that's maybe an important question)

    New Age Catholics

    So... because God has revealed where they go they are in a limbo (an undecided/unknown state), but not in "Limbo" (a nether region of Hell). Thanks!
