: About Me

I'm a devout and catechized Catholic. When I hear or read profoundly stupid remarks about my church, I get a little angry. I pray that the Lord will judge my anger to be righteous anger. After all, He turned the tables at the Temple when he felt that the holy place of worship was being exploited.
Look guys, if you don't want to be Catholic, don't. But don't try to hide behind your veil of ignorance as an excuse to spread lies about the only church that acknowledges Jesus as its founder. Don't just repeat what you've heard other people say about the Church. Grow up! Read the documents for your selves. Talk to a Catholic Priest. Wake up for God's sake! Hmmmm, better yet, wake up for your own sake! God really doesn't need you to wake up. He'd just like it a lot because He loves you.
How many truthful answers do you really think you will find in some splinter of Christianity founded more than 1500 years AFTER the birth of Christianity? Have you actually read the documents of some of these churches? Or do you handle them the same way you handle the documents of the Catholic Church? It's not wise to base your opinions on what you hear about a document rather than on what the document actually contains. No, wait. It's worse than "not wise". It's profoundly stupid. Your opinions are based on somebody else's ignorant opinions. Quit persecuting the Body of Christ! It's not good for your soul.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Reflections: Taking the Lord's name in vain

5 of 6

Confessing your sins is "taking the Lord's Name in vain"? I hear a lot of ignorant comments about Catholicism. But that one takes the cake! Taking the Lord's name in vain means using His name for a purpose other than to invoke Him in all His glory. His mercy is pretty glorious! Let's take a look at what happens when a person receives the sacrament of reconciliation. 1. Examination of conscience: Have I separated myself from God in any way? 2. Prayer to the Holy Spirit asking for help to make a good confession. This means, "Help me know my sins in a way that makes me profoundly sorry for my...
