    The New Missal Translation?

    What do you think? Since I consider the Missal of Paul VI to be an unmitigated travesty, I'm looking forward to it (hopefully) going some ways in giving the Mass a sense of solemnity and dignity worthy of the notion of divine sacrifice, though I understand the arguments that this translation is...

    The Argument from the Contingency of the World

    I have opened this thread on account of another in the Secular Beliefs Forum. The question revolves around the rationality of the classical ‘proof’ for God’s existence- a contingentia mundi- from the contingency of the world- which holds that God is the First Cause. Now, what should first be...

    The Centre of Christian Morality is not here...

    I just found this quote from C.S Lewis on Christian sexual morality in Mere Christianity, chapter 5 (worth a look). I thought, in the midst of the culture war themes which tend to bombard religion talk that this was at least worth seeing for both ourselves and others: Besides that point however...

    Adress of Pope Benedict: Meeting with Interreligious Leaders

    I thought some people might find this of interest. Some might know how interested I am in the current Holy Father and I thought his doings in Israel might give some others an opportunity to gain a small insight into his thought: I have boldened some personal points of interest. ...Whispers in...

    The Objective Basis of Human Rights...

    In the debate about the evidence for the existence of God, the following statement was made: This was a supposed refutation of a theory which purported to say that, because things of artistic value do not need evidence, neither does one need such a thing for God. I am not familiar with this...

    Green continues here at the Washington Post, expanding some of his statements. It is important that he clarifies his initial statements: Yet he does speak about a problem of multiple sexual partnerships in Africa, which virtually constitute a: Further, that: Additionally, in respect to those who...

    Any Non-Catholics Here Observance Lent?

    Just wondering what other Christians mark today as a holy day and will spend the next 40 days with us in a period of more pronounced prayer, reflection and repentance. I found a day-by day reader in early Christian writings: http://www.churchyear.net/lentfatherscomplete.pdf found on Per...

    Hans Kung?

    I was wondering what other Catholics here think of Hans Kung. I am well aware that his opinions are in serious tension with the Magesterium, (ie. papal infallibility, contraception, ect.) but these are demanding teachings which a good deal of faithful Christians do not accept. Apparently, he...

    What Did the Pope Really Say?

    It seems that the Pope's recent controversial speech labeled as regarding homosexuality, transgenderism and the environmental crisis has been taken out of proportion and does not really reflect the message he was delivering... His words: The Reuters article: The media got their story from the...

    Gay Couples and Adoption

    The purpose of this thread is to debate whether or not the rights of gay couples to adopt should be identical to that of heterosexual couples. I favor a heterosexual priority, which means I believe it is in the child's best interest to be placed in a home with two care-givers of the two...

    The Morality of Abortion?

    This is my response the comments in the "bible and abortion" thread, seeing as I am not actually speaking of the bible: </I> It is interesting to see this engaged on the level of rhetoric, and not instead the actual locus of the dilemna, which is, as I framed above, not only analogous to...
