  • It makes sense to move up the date because we have advanced noticed of the vacancy. There is no hurry despite the media desire for a news story. It is on Gods time. Easter will still come. Go to a Catholic Church on Holy Thursday and Good Friday. I promise you that you will hear words that touch your heart in a way you can’t imagine and you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of it.

  • God works in mysterious ways and he can even use an athiest church. Most simply, God is Love.

    If the members of the athiest church are showing love and kindness to one another and performing good works in the community out of love for one another, then they are acting out one of the two commandments that Jesus said are the most important. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.

    The funny thing is that as you “Love your neighbor”, you may be drawn to the fact that there is something more, something bigger then us. And God may knock you off your horse to get your attention and bring you to the truth.

  • There is nothing wrong with Halloween itself. If you want to have a church carnival so that families have an alternative from kids going door to door and possibly running into weirdos then thats fine too. It’s still All Hallows Eve. It is still a night to dress up as someone different for a night and get more candy than you can stand. The world is full of monsters. Halloween on some level helps us all deal with that a little bit.

    One house last night had a sign telling children to “go away. We are a christian household and don’t celebrate pagan rituals”. I don’t think that is a helpful approach.

  • Same sex attraction is not a sin. Its a big cross for sure, but not a sin. The homosexual act is the sin. Same goes for pre-marital sex, adultery and any other sex outside of natural marriage. We are called to be Chaste, not do as we please. Our fallen nature makes that difficult and we all fall. That is why we have forgiveness, if we seek it.

  • My word, it is 2012. Can’t we get past this non-sense. We can’t accept yet that people come in all shapes, sizes and shades yet? And how racist of NBC to even think that someone might connect the two. And if they did, that is the disturbed individuals problem.

  • The young woman told him that she was very uncomfortable with being recorded and he posted a video of her online. She had absolutely no say in the matter. What a jerk. And then to go back and try to apologize to her. Wow. That is a real narcissist,

  • Don’t buy the cookies if that is your choice. But, please be polite to the young girls. A simple “no thank you” will suffice. There is no need to launch into full scale explanation to a young child. It is very sad that girl scouts is what it is, because girls have very little opportunity for camping and learning outdoor skills.

  • This is the constitutional decision, protecting the borders and immigration is the Federal Governments responsibility. Unfortunately , they have chosen to ignore their responsibility. All the more reason to vote people in that will uphold the Constitution.

  • To this young woman and all who are entering the Catholic church, welcome home. That is the words that I heard from so many people when they found that I had converted.

    I know where she is at. It is that place where you believe, but you haven’t given yourself over completely to God. After so many years of doing it on your own (and being raised that this is what you are supposed to do), it is not easy to let go and let God take over and begin to transform your heart.

    The only thing that works is prayer and a willingness to invite God into your heart. And when the Holy Spirit does touch your heart, it is the most incredible feeling of peace and love you will ever experience. It is so powerful that it begins to melt the hardness away from your heart.

    We all have crosses. Some big, some small. On our journey we will fall many many times. But we have God’s grace and forgiveness to help us get up again. It is progress, not perfection.

  • I too am a recent convert to Catholicism after 20 years of resisting. The day God moved my heart and. Called me I will never forget. The Catholic Church is beautiful and has given me a relationship with God that I never expected. I hope many of her readers also re-examine what they believe and allow the Holy Spirit to transform their hearts.
