Was Pope Pius II a bigger Nazi than Joe Ratzinger(Pope)? regularg, Anti-Catholic hacks can not prove it.

What councils of the early church addressed the issue of papal infallibility and/or primacy? Was the first Vatican council the first to bring up the idea in an ecuminical council?

What is a Quasi-Catholic? Is it someone who believes the fantasical elements of Catholism, like beliefs on life, death, heaven, hell and purgatory, but not the strict rules of no abortions, being against gays etc. See the definition of the word "heretic". If someone claims to be Catholic and willfully rejects a teaching they know, then the correct term is "formal heretic". If they objectively reject teachings due to ignorance (i.e. because they are under-Catechized or received bad teaching), then the correct term is "material heretic". Examples: (1) A Catholic that...

Care to share your basic religious beliefs? (I am genuinely curious about others beliefs and hope that no one who answers will be insulted) I am Catholic. A good synopsis of what I believe is summarized in the Nicene Creed. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11049a.htm God gave me reason.

Does God suffer (from a traditional Christian point of view)? (This is for school). Catholicism (and Orthodox Christianity) teach that God is impassible and definitely does not suffer. This has been the teaching of Christianity through the Church for 2000 years (or since 1054 in the case of the Orthodox). Jesus, a divine person, the God-Man, the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, entered time and space and most certainly did suffer. In this mystery...

HOW IS IT THAT OUR ECONOMY IS WORSE WHEN THE STOCK MARKET IS UP, OIL PRICES ARE GOING WAY DOWN, AND THE DOLLAR IS STRONGER? COMPARED TO LAST SPRING AND INTO THE SUMMER WHEN THE STOCK MARKET WAS OK AND OIL PRICES WERE SKY HIGH AND THE DOLLAR WAS DOWN. Short answer is that people aren't repaying their loans, particularly their mortgages. This is causing certain investment vehicles called mortgage backed securities (MBS) to be worth a great deal less than what was thought. This causes financial institutions to be less willing to lend money, which slows down the economy.

No doubt a DR is coming for this but here it goes. 1) You have no parental authority over them. They have a mother, and it's not you. 2) You can ask them to act properly in your home.

They go on and on with their sophistries going so far as to say that killing a carrot is the same as murdering an unborn child (I kid you not!) They say "I...

The problem is the more it is put off, the worse it is going to be when the feces hits the fan.

In North Carolina what kind of trouble could a 17 year old individaul get into for moving out with their 22 year old boyfriend.

So, technically, the 22 year old could be in trouble if your parents wanted to make a big stink about it. Your moving in with him places him in legal jeopardy because he would be violating some law regarding minors. If your situation at home is terrible, then perhaps you could move in with a close relative instead.

In Catholic churches, the crucifix on the altar has Jesus' body on it, while in Protestant churches, the cross is bare. Why is this? Short answer: Catholics do what St. Paul did - "...we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles" (1 Cor 1:23). The question about about statues and such was settled during the Second Council of Nicea. It was known as the Iconoclast issue and it was settled over 1200 years ago and over 700 years before the first Protestant church appeared.

Protestants based their faith on the bible alone(sola scriptura);cathlics on the bible and tradition. which is correct? If the doctrine of Sola Scriptura is correct, then why is it not found in the Bible? Also, what has been the effects of Sola Scriptura on the Body of Christ? Sola Scriptura believers have splintered into 30,000+ denominations since the 16th century teaching all kinds of contradictory doctrine (baptism symbolic vs. sacramental, baptism of infants invalid vs. valid, intrinsic evil of...

Answer to:
Why are there so many different Christian Churches? Christ taught one set of doctrine, and since Christ is God and God cannot contradict himself, none of the doctrine is contradictory. Most Christian Churches today started as a result of the reformation when Luther, a disobedient Catholic, separated himself from the Catholic Church and started his own church. But he was just the focal point. He had help both outside the Church as well as...

On what teaching is purgatory based? The doctrine of the Catholic faith regarding Purgatory, like all Catholic doctrines, is to be believed because it is taught by the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church that Jesus himself founded.

Look at the moral teaching of the Catholic...

Catholics, I'm a christian and we believe in one God, who sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. How are we different? We are different because we believe different things. As a Catholic, I believe in the revelation of God, transmitted orally or written down (1 Thess 2, 2 Thess 2). The tradition of Sola Scriptura (Bible alone) is not found anywhere in the Bible. It was invented by Martin Luther, a disobedient Catholic, in the 16th century. It was the Catholic Church that defined what books were and were...

Answer to:
My first marriage was Catholic, but was annulled by the church after divorce. Can I still take communion? You said your marriage was annulled. That means, in the eyes of God, there was no marriage as adjudicated by His Church, the Catholic Church. Since there was no marriage, there can be no divorce. So the remark in another response of "the church does not support divorce in any way" is one, not true; and two, non-sequitur to your situation. One can not obtain a divorce if one was...

People are free to choose this or that, but they are generally not free to choose the consequences of those decisions.

What is the difference between Catholic and Roman Catholic? Excellent question!

I'm surprised that they would allow you to solicit advice about this in a public forum. Do they know you asked this question here? If not, tell them.

Answer to:
Is downloading music from sites like Savefile and mediafire considered pirating? I'd say yes. These sites offer no way for the artists and the record companies that own the songs to be compensated. That is not fair. You can buy MP3 formatted songs from amazon.com for $0.99 each.

Answer to:
Where did the internet start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet#History This is a good history.

Answer to:
Why is existence of freedom important? The Declaration of Independence says that people are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights. One of these rights is the "right to life". Another is the "right to the pursuit of happiness". What is the ultimate happiness? We shall see. Without freedom, it is impossible to exercise your rights. I can not have a "right to pursue happiness" if I am not...

Answer to:
Why do Catholics confess their sins to a priest and not directly to God asking for His forgiveness? You've set up a false dichotomy in your question. Catholics confess their sins to a priest because Christ set it up this way. Read Matt 9:1-8 (the last word is plural) and John 20 as support of Catholic teaching that is 2000 years old. Additionally, Catholics also confess their sins to God and ask forgiveness at every Mass when they call to mind their sins during the Penetitial Rite...

Answer to:
Will you vote for obama just because opra endorses him? No. Obama is not only pro-abortion, he is pro-infanticide. See his voting record against the Induced Infant Liability Act. I would never vote for this monster.

Answer to:
I am a young christian male in early my early 20s. I enjoy masturbating but do not like looking a Pornorgarphy nor think negative thoughts about women/girls. I masturbate looking a female with slim smooth silk legs and nice feet/toes. Is this a sin.HELP! You asked in a Catholic forum. The Catholic Church teaches that masturbation is a sin. See the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2352 and #2396. Some here twist scripture and falsely teach that masturbation is compatible with Christianity. It is not and never has been. In the context of mankind as a whole, Christianity is primarily about the good of others. God made us male and female and...

Answer to:
I want to use Linux and Windows without having to reboot, VMware is a fairly good solution. Assuming i use Linux as the host system, can i install Adobe Photoshop and such softwares onto Windows and expect it to work fine?Will it run into driver problems? VMware will provide the guest operating system (Windows) with virtual video card. Assuming you install VMware tools into the guest, the virtual video card will be a "VMware SVGA-II" graphics adapter. This virtual device is limited to 128 MB of RAM. Provided Photoshop (and the plug-ins) don't need more than this, you should be OK.

Answer to:
I want to put some variety of linux in a virtual machine (physical machine is vista). Which should I use? VMWare, MSVM, others? I heard M/S Virtual Machine only supports Windows O/S. Try VMware Workstation. The extensive snapshot capability in Workstation can be used to save your virtual machine configurations as you try different things with guest OS. Plus, the host-guest shared folder capability is handy for quick file transfers, and can be easily disabled through the GUI to more fully isolate the guest.

Answer to:
Where is your GOD now? God is everywhere in that nothing can escape His power. He holds everything in existence that He created out of nothing. If He failed to do so, the creature would revert back to its original state -- nothingness. Every piece of matter and all spirit (including the devil, whom God created good but who made himself evil), are held in existence by God. Mere existence, in and of itself, is hell to...

Answer to:
Can someone give up lent for lent? The answer to your question is "No". The Church has the power from God to "bind and loose". (Matt 18). You were not given such power. The Church exercises her authority and defines when lent is. A Catholic exercises his free will and submits to the teaching of the Church or he submits to himself. In other words, he either loves Christ by being willfully obedient to His...

Answer to:
Does it say anywhere in the bible that one must be baptized before participating in communion..... in the catholic church? is this "manmade rule"? Explicitly, no. The Catholic Church has authority to "bind and loose". Sacred Tradition for 2000 years has always taught this, and this is re-iterated explicitly in the Bible. The Church has legislative authority over the administering of the Sacraments. It can state how they are to be received, and what conditions are necessary. Regarding Holy Communion, Catholics believe they...

Answer to:
Does 'Inerrant' necessarily imply 'complete'? That is, if you take the Bible as inerrant, can it provide inerrant instruction about things it doesn't mention, or would people take their own interpretation of advice? Good question. To the Catholic Church, the Bible, as defined by the Catholic Church, is in itself inerrant and complete in as much as there are no other books in it. Reference the Vatican II document "Dei Verbum". That being said, complete does not mean exhaustive. The Bible is a divinely inspired book. But just like any book, it needs an authoritative interpreter. If you and I...

Answer to:
I am Roman Catholic. My Fiance and i have a 2 month old and he is baptist. i want to start going to church again, but i think they only way he will go if it is to a baptist church and i want to go as a family. What are the main differences between the two I understand your plight. Here is what works for me. Go to both. Ask him to go with you to Mass and offer to go with him. As a general rule, Catholics are prohibited only from participating in other forms of worship...but not from attending. There has been many times where the Pope himself has attended other worship services. He does not participate. Understandably, he may not want to...

Answer to:
Is the Catholic church at fault for a massive molestation cover up? If so why & what "punishment" is acceptable? The individuals as individuals in the Church are responsible for their actions. If a priest molests a child, then he should go to jail. If a bishop covers it up, then he should go to jail also. The failure of a given individual to live up to the teachings of the Catholic Church does not make the entire Church as a entity materially responsible. The Catholic Church taught these priests and...

Answer to:
What were the reforms of martin luther and john calvin and what was the catholic church response This is a very deep question and really requires a great deal of study. If you can, try to catch the episode "Protestant Reformation Part I" by Fr. Charles Conner on EWTN. He is an excellent historian. In summary, the priests, bishops and even the Popes of the 15-16th centuries had become very worldly. Christian asceticism had really gone by the wayside, and both laity and priests...

Answer to:
I am Catholic and my husband is Presbyterian. Is there a denomination that is similar to both that we could join? As a Catholic, you have been blessed (whether you realize it or not) to receive the Catholic faith already. Religion is a duty to God and at its core is obedience. Your responsibility to God is to learn your faith and practice it. Christ tells us that it is He who chooses us. And as a Catholic, you need to understand that He is literally in the Catholic Church. Your duty to your husband...
