Pope Calls for a more perfect union
The world needs the Church, breathing with both lungs, East and West, to once again become its soul in this age which has lost its moral compass.

Oh, and about Forever 21...
Apparently the owner is a Christian? as some may have already seen.
Obviously there are other issues with the whole thing, but maybe there’s a bit more than meets the eye to the selling of rosaries there. Who knows?

meoquerida asked: i completely understand about wearing rosaries being a practice in his Hispanic communities. My mom is from Mexico, and I visit a lot. I think if you do choose to wear it, you have the earlier stated responsibility and i also personally think you shouldn't be flashy about it.
Even in countries like Mexico, it is almost starting to become more of a fashion statement. I've...

My Name is Kelley.: Rosaries are not necklaces.
f0rtytw0:
I grew up going to a Catholic school, where we were taught - correctly - that rosaries are not necklaces. Yes, as kids we all wanted to wear them. Especially in May when the entire school gathered and prayed a decade of the rosary before classes started. Though I have not remained devoutly…
This personally really bugs me...

Questions...
kre-do:
Historical context is indeed important. Two points that I’d make here (which you likely already know) are:
“catholic” with a small C simply means universal — i.e. all Christians are part of the universal, or catholic, church, regardless of denomination. It doesn’t refer to the institutional Catholic Church.
Creeds are an important part of the Christian tradition, but they don’t...

Prayer at the Porn Shop →
I think it’s necessary to make a public protest because pornography seems to be one of those things that the majority of the public seems to accept as normal and healthy. It has seeped into relationships and is commonplace among groups of young people. I think if we are to expose pornography for what it is – destructive, demoralizing, and intrinsically evil – we have to make a public showing of...

I used to consider Catholicism like “just another denomination”. However, after researching it I’m beginning to think that Catholicism must either be great truth or great heresy.
Which is parallel to the nature of Christ Himself —
A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the...

“Princeton University psychologist Susan Fiske took brain scans of heterosexual men while they looked at sexualised images of women wearing bikinis. She found that the part of their brains that became activated was pre-motor - areas that usually light up when people anticipate using tools. The men were reacting to the images as if the women were objects they were going to act on....
