    When truth matters.

    Tell me, is truth singular or do you think it has versions and editions so that one group can be "in the truth" and another can be too yet they differ one from the other on all sorts of matters including what salvation is, how it is received, when it is received, how to baptise and who to...

    Ask Me (Almost Anything)

    When I consider the responses I get in forums like this one from random folk from various denominations I am not encouraged to visit their denominational meetings. One cannot feel very encouraged when folk persistently set out to redicule one's beliefs. When I visited a Pentecostal meeting...

    Was the blood moon experience a disappointment?

    The various denominations, sects, and cults have had many claims about when the end would come. William Miller predicted 1844 and failed, Seventh Day Adventists claimed "within one generation" from 1844 and have failed too, Jehovah's witnesses had 1878 and 1914 and 1975 and failed, we've heard...

    III. Is it Lawful to Imitate Her as a Model? But while the exalted privileges of Mary render her worthy of our veneration, while her saintly influence renders her worthy of our invocation, her personal life in constantly held up to us as a pattern worthy of our imitation. If she occupies so...

    II. Is it Lawful to Invoke Her? The Church exhorts her children not only to honor the Blessed Virgin, but also to invoke her intercession. It is evident from Scripture that the Angels and Saints in heaven can hear our prayers and that they have the power and the will to help us.[Gen. xlviii...

    Catholic Only Mary ...

    I have always observed when traveling on the missions up and down the Potomac, that whenever the steamer came to the point opposite Mount Vernon the bell was tolled, and every eye was directed toward Washington's grave. The 22nd of February, Washington's birthday, is kept as a national holiday...

    Catholic Only Mary ...

    There is joy in Mary's heart in being chosen to become the mother of the world's Redeemer. She wishes by her visit to communicate that joy to her cousin. The Sun of Justice is shining within her. She desires to diffuse His rays through Elizabeth's household. She is laden with spiritual...

    Catholic Only Mary ...

    The liturgies of the Church, being the established formularies of her public worship, are among the most authoritative documents that can be adduced in favor of any religious practice. In the liturgy ascribed to St. James, Mary is commemorated as "our most holy, immaculate and most glorious...

    Catholic Only Mary ...

    But it may be said the Blessed Virgin is not the Mother of the Divinity. She had not, and she could not have, any part in the generation of the Word of God, for that generation is eternal; her maternal is temporal. He is her Creator; she is His creature. Style her, if you will, the Mother of the...

    Why we have the bible in English (despite the RCC)

    Wherever his translation is accurate it is good and where it is not it is not good. Can you cite or quote one or two places where Tyndale is accurate and at the same time contradicts the teaching of the Catholic Church?

    Why we have the bible in English (despite the RCC)

    I think he was killed because he really insulted and upset Henry VIII but no doubt his religious opinions also made him a heretic and many nations in the sixteenth century killed people for heresy. I do not see how his translation work (mainly in the new testament) solved any problem that needed...
