Welcome New Member!

Here is a section for you to post a message introducing yourself after registering. Get to know the other members here. This first section is not so much a discussion section as it is a starting point where you can begin to make yourself at home. There are many discussion sections below! The Forum has a particularly Catholic Christian character and openly proclaims its faithfulness to Pope Benedict XVI, Bishop of Rome, who is the Vicar of Christ and Successor of Peter, in union with the Catholic Bishops throughout the world.

Our goal in participating should not be always to be "right" at any cost, but rather humbly and honestly to seek the truth. In this, we will be guided by common sense, intellectual honesty, the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, her Tradition, her laws, and her duly appointed pastors. Since our common goal is to get to heaven, when disagreements result from our discussions our guide will be charity and our motto will be...

FAITH SEEKING UNDERSTANDING!

Luca Signorelli, Communion of the Apostles (1512), Cortona, Italy
Gosp.(John 15,9-17):In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: "Sicut diléxit me Pater, et ego diléxi vos; manéte in dilectióne mea. Si præcépta mea servavéritis, manébitis in dilectióne mea, sicut ego Patris mei præcépta servávi et máneo in eius dilectióne. Hæc locútus sum vobis, ut gáudium meum in vobis sit, et gáudium vestrum impleátur. Hoc est præcéptum meum, ut diligátis ínvicem, sicut diléxi vos; maiórem hac dilectiónem nemo habet, ut ánimam suam quis ponat pro amícis suis. Vos amíci mei estis, si fecéritis quæ ego præcípio vobis. Iam non dico vos servos, quia servus nescit quid facit dóminus eius; vos autem dixi amícos, quia ómnia quæ audívi a Patre meo, nota feci vobis. Non vos me elegístis, sed ego elégi vos et pósui vos, ut vos eátis et fructum afferátis, et fructus vester máneat, ut quodcúmque petiéritis Patrem in nómine meo, det vobis. Hæc mando vobis, ut diligátis ínvicem".

Indulgences are a marvelous but under used and often misunderstood tool and treasure of the spiritual life. What are they and how are they helpful?

Study, discussion, and veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary, the Virgin Mother of God is our perfect example of "how life should be welcomed and cared for" and lived out. Discussions of Marian Doctrines, Theology and Devotions are encouraged. Discussions on private revelations lacking proper ecclesiastical approval do not belong in this section. Try 'Speculation'.

The last acceptable prejudice? Many contend that anti-Catholicism is on the rise.
