    Vestments

    I was going to respond, but it's become obvious the sort of person you are and now I can't be bothered. Maybe read Galatians 5:22-23 because based on your posts, it would be your first time.

    Vestments

    That's exactly what I think happens when a priest wears vestments, or even outside of that, when he's wearing his regular clerical clothing. Firstly it's like a uniform, a uniform doesn't necessarily indicate a heightened sense of importance. Rather, it indicates a distinct role the person is...

    Vestments

    Whether they're necessary or not, I tend to lead towards "yes they are".

    Catholic Only Regarding the Immaculate Conception

    Does this book you're reading expound on what the Catechism says at all? If not, maybe the Catechism will shed some light on your question?

    CH Catholics roll call

    Can I join in? I won't be confirmed until Easter 2017, but I'm going through the Rite of Welcoming on February 7th... I went with the Catholic faith icon because I don't feel right saying I'm anything else. I affirm the teachings of the Church.

    Hello there

    I just heard about this forum today from PaladinValer, seems like it's aptly named as I'm recognizing a lot of CF users. I'm Darth Bagel over there, this username is an homage to my first-ever forum account on a now-defunct paintball forum. Looking forward to participating in this community...
