There's no conflict in believing (1) innocent babies in the womb should not be murdered AND (2) capital punishment is admissable for capital crimes.

Those who say otherwise are either promoters or victims of the Modernist heresy.

Decide to inform your intellect & reject folly.

#TLM critics: "People can't follow Mass in a different language. They need the vernacular for the sake of active participation, so they know what's going on."

Same critics: looking forward to spending money on Mel Gibson's subtitled sequel to "The Passion of the Christ."

Jesus gave us the sacrament of Confession because he knows our weaknesses -- that we *need* it after baptism. Often.

Even though many Protestants are our brothers through valid baptism, don't think it will be EZ for them to avoid hell, despite their initial justification.

Jesus breathed on the disciples and said they could forgive sins. My question for protestants: why would Jesus, as he was starting his church, give a handful of his followers the unthinkable, unprecedented ability to forgive sins, and now... nobody in your church does this? The catholic (and orthod...

Not to start an argument about whether these things are true, but only to clarify what (Reformed/Protestant) believers actually confess: First, this is not even a question for us, because we 'protest' the idea that justification is--in any sense whatsoever--based on our works. Hence the by grace 'a...

When I hear critics of Catholic Christianity imply we don't have a "personal relationship" with Jesus, it's impossible to take seriously.

Not only do we as Catholics have a personal relationship with Christ our King, but with Mary our Queen, with all the Christian saints who went before us, with our holy angels and all the host of heaven. It's a family thing.

Our Faith is so much more than a weekly Book club or singing repetitious love songs to the Lord from a band stage.

We enjoy the full communion of saints and look forward to the promises of Christ.

Praise God.

As a former Protestant, there are a LOT of misconceptions about Catholics

It's disappointing to me when Jimmy Akin of "Catholic Answers Live" answers a Protestant question about Mary by saying she's not mentioned in the Mass very many times, or by saying that people like Saint Louis de Montfort tended to use flowery, hyperbolic language about her.

First, the new order of the mass removes Mary several times from the liturgy. That's a problem on its own.

But second, the truth is that Mary is greater, more glorious, more central to the gospel than any words Saint Louis de Montfort can come up with.
