There are, of course, the tried and true Divine Office, and the Rosary. :D For something a bit more, erm, ecumenical, I have not found this pocket-sized book wanting. It's called "My Daily Bread", and explains Christian doctrine in simple, direct language for minds that want to learn Christ's ways.

And I thought spending $20 - $50 on a new game was extravagant. :eek: Now I'm sure we've got to have more game developers' programs in our colleges.

Forgive me. To sum it up, generally speaking I was wrong in that secular authorities were the only ones to have inquisitions. It was done by the Church, in fact begun by the Church, for the sake of preservation of orthodoxy when other forms of punishment or atonement were not working. Like the...

Inquisition according to the Catholic Encyclopaedia. To paraphrase them, for the first three centuries of Christianity, Christians no longer practised the killing of heretics as was prescribed by the Torah. Instead, heretics were excommunicated, which one could say is the spiritual equivalent...

I believe I am wrong, and you are right. Originally, the concept of heresy was only a religious one, believed in by the early Christian Church. However, ways to suppress heresy were practically none before the intercession of Emperor Constantine the Great in the 300s. Arianism, Nestorianism...

Considering In John 2 Mary asked her Son to make wine for the wedding at Cana, and Melchizedek offered the Lord wine and bread, I don't see anything generally wrong with wine or alcohol. It was used to celebrate, in Ruth. And often Christ referenced wineskins and wine. And St. Paul tells Timothy...

Reminds me of universal healthcare. Perhaps it is a good idea, but this particular piece of legislation won't solve problems as much as the government thinks. Why can't they legislate something sane for once?

My prayers are for him. I think you are looking for something like "Boys Town". Here is their hotline, if it's urgent.

Indeed they do. Did you know heresy actually used to be illegal by secular law? Inquisitions were done by the secular state, mainly, not by the Catholic or Protestant (did the Protestants have Inquisitions?) churches, and punishments for heresy were dealt out by the State, not the Church. The...

there was a fellow named lI1b0rKing or something to that effect. Is he banned? Also, I recommend we redirect any atheists we have come to a debate forum of some kind - debating in directly in Minecraft is very heated and it is difficult to type fast enough to counter their spam. However, with...

It would appear... yes. But do so with caution unless a lawyer tells you to fire away.

Praying for him. Saint Matthew, pray for Matthew to God. Saint Martin, helper of soldiers, pray for Matthew to God. Holy God, Holy and Mighty One, Holy and Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

I'm not going to get into it. I'm just not. But suffice to say I don't agree with you on most points, except this. (Of course, even this means very different things between the two of us. But in a general way, we both agree.)

Actually, I have a question or two regarding records. I have a record of the Saint Louis Jesuits called "Earthen Vessels" (it was my father's). But I have no device to play it on, nor any way to copy it to a tape, disc, or computer. I have heard the songs before on YouTube (I don't own them)...

I hate questions like this, I really do. I used to be a pirate myself, and I'm still struggling over questions like this, because some of that music is so good. I love the Saint Louis Jesuits, for example, and I can pull them up at any time on YouTube. But is it moral to listen to music you've...

Understand that magic in the real world and magic in games are two very different things. In the real world, magic attempts to summon some kind of powers from God or from pagan gods. Even if it has scientific applications, if it is an attempt to wield the mystical powers of the Lord or the...

Prophecy of the birth of Christ - Isaiah 9:1-7 (RSV) 1 But there will be no gloom for her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zeb'ulun and the land of Naph'tali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan...
