Mother And Matrix

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. - "One word of truth outweighs the world."

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to... (www.catholic365.com)

Why do we look at Confirmation as a Graduation?

It seems as children are starting to view Confirmation as a Graduation. After the Bishop confirms the candidates, it is like everyone says now we are done with the Sacraments in the Catholic Church.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.... (www.catholic365.com)

I see so much of the prophecies about the end of times, and people pointing out signs of the end. Then, I noticed on the 7th Day Adventist television station, 3ABN, that they were praying for a sign. It really baffled me. My first thought was, “Don’t only the wicked seek a sign?”... (www.catholic365.com)

Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church as described in the New Testament

One of the things which was brought up by one of the Protestants in that thread is this idea that St. Constantine started the Catholic Church. But, is that true? Why do Protestants make this claim?

Analysis of my Conversion - I didn't like to kneel

Kneeling? Yep. Kneeling. I didn't like to kneel. Raise your hand if you can't stand to kneel.
