Why are you bragging about this?

Hello. Are you looking for arguments against the Church? If so, I can't help you. However, perhaps I can help you in another way. Let your son find his way -- if that's in the Catholic Church, then that's wonderful. If not, then that's ok too -- the important thing is that he love and...

You're welcome. Can you tell my major was History? LOL Have a good week!

Purgatory is a purgation of the stain of sin from our souls. It is not a second chance as many believe, but a cleansing of the stain of sin on our souls. In order to go to Purgatory, a person must have received salvation first. Those who reject Christ or God our Father or who die in an...

Hi Happy: The answer to your second question is that it may say it on the cover, but with a nice, leather bound Bible, the identification of "Catholic" will usually be found on the spine. The answer to your first question is below. It's a bit long, but I cut out as much as I felt I could...

As a Catholic, I can attest that Christian bookstores, at least in Oklahoma, rarely carry Catholic bibles, books, and sacramentals. It would be great if they did. On the flip side, Catholic bookstores rarely carry non-Catholic bibles and other Protestant items. Now, electronic over print...

I'm glad to hear this! Will they be allowed to come home for leave after they graduate or do they go straight to tech school? When I graduated boot camp (1979) we had to go to our tech schools. there had been too many people who went AWOL after boot camp when they went home on leave! I...

How's Brandon doing? Any better?

I'm sorry to hear that one of your nephews is having a difficult time. When I went through boot camp, it was only six weeks long and I didn't have the big warrior test at the end of it. However, I was 18 at the time and had a knot in my tummy for a week after I arrived. I finally settled down...

Wow! LOL. You are a much faster thinker than I am. I am still at Mom and Dad's and will take my time to read all that you've replied and prepare my response... I ask for your patience. Take care and God Bless! Sherry

Dear Darrell: Thanks! Here are my response(s) so far: 1. How does Christ ascending back to Heaven have anything to do with physical bread or wine? I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you are asking? Would you please clarify this? 2. If it is the Spirit that gives life (and we know He...

I'm glad.

Hi Darrell. Apparently the thread has closed. I am working on your questions and need clarification on one and have an answer ready for another. I am working on the others. This e-mail allows 420 characters only, so can we open another thread or e-mail privately? SRHCatholic@yahoo.com. Sherry

I understand. I don't hunt and fish either and as for eating Salmon -- well, that's a no go. I'm sorry that other things were going on at the time. I hope they've been favorably resolved or that you have healed from them. Take care and God Bless you! Sherry

Hi Darrell: You've asked some good questions and ones that I haven't considered. I am going to offer a quick answer then reply more in-depth in the next couple of days. However, I ask for your patience. I leave on Saturday for a trip across country with three of my grandchildren and I have...

I never made it to Fort Richardson. I worked rotating shifts and had small children so I didn't go very many places. I remember being pregnant ALL of the time! (I had five children in 6 1/2 years!). :) Do you remember the Christmas star that was placed on the mountain side at Alyeska or...

I arrived in January of 1980 with my combat boots over my shoulder and my cookie monster under my arm. LOL. I was 19 years old. It was dark with more snow that I had ever seen in my life. When I stepped outside of the airport, Alaska smelled different -- wild and I fell in love with it. We...

There is no Eucharist, at least not in the Bible, and that is a fact. It is a pagan practice as can be seen by others The Aztecs of Central America were practicing something similar when Europeans discovered them in the sixteenth century. They had been doing this for centuries: The Eucharist is...
