    Ash Wednesday

    Strictly speaking, no, there are many religions. The point I was trying to make is that it is often assumed that Catholics are not Christians because the Catholic Church is a church of immigrants. I believe that even among Catholics we did not always refer ourselves as Christians, becoming...

    Ash Wednesday

    I think that is going to far, more chalk it up to general ignorance which does not relate Catholic with Christian. To be correct the article ought to have read 'other' Christians. Its a reminder that the Catholic Church is a Church of immigrants in a Protestant country.

    Ash Wednesday

    I could not find a more recent post on ash Wednesday. On a TV news report there was a sort of explanation that was quite misleading stating that it was a day marked by 'Catholics and some Christians'. This jumped out at me. Does anyone else see the problem whit this?

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    I couldn't agree more. The beauty of the Bible is that anyone, at any stage of their faith life, will find the Truth, whether one is comfortable with a literalists interpretation or seeks a deeper understanding of the theology and the literary genius of the Evangelists.

    Pope Francis allows priests to bless same-sex couples (not marriage)

    The Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith announced this in a declaration issued Dec. 18 by distinguishing clearly between “ritual and liturgical blessings” that are given in the reception of a sacrament and “blessings,” spontaneous ones, that are given outside this situation in a...

    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    Do you prefer Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom for U.S. President?

    Notice the fourth - grade language he reads from a teleprompter. He can neither write nor read with any intelligence. His only concern is himself, always has been.

    Do you prefer Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom for U.S. President?

    Which has become more apparent during the last few days abroad. As a young man he had a pronounced stuttering problem and overcame it. So yes sometimes gives him a problem. I loved how he made a campaign add from the mouth of Marjory Taylor Green...

    Could this land Trump in jail?

    As I understand it intent must be proven. Did Trump really believe he won, which I think he did, or did he acknowledge the loss and attempt to fraudulently change the vote.
