Quote: Originally Posted by josephdavid Again your posts and others here make it sound the lives lost in Iraq mean nothing. Perhaps not your intentions (at least I hope not) but you make it sound ok and because Republicans are against abortion that their war was justified because Americans lives are more important than theirs. Sorry the American Catholics are being duped by this notion. I clearly posted that the lives lost in Iraq are...

I don't know anything about government help in the Philippines but it is possible that the churches in her area may have some kind of help for families. What is...

Quote: Originally Posted by estesbob The truth is their politics trump their pro-life views. This is exactly what I see as well, especially for my parents. They get SO wrapped up in their politics. This is the reason for my discussing how 'abortion' is now just a word in politics. When that word is said, it should bring those horrible realistic images what what abortion really is.

Quote: Originally Posted by mesl4 So why would I want to convert to Catholicism if I can be saved as a Protestant without adding all the extra rules?

I don't want to send this thread off on a tangent but I do want to correct this particular statement. The death penalty is not a...

Hadassajones, I wish you well in recovery from many years of poor spiritual formation at the hands of your father. Hopefully his intentions were good and knowing that may help? I also hope you will be patient for the healing process to take place.

I am working at a group home, which is necessary work, so I am needed sometimes on Sundays too. However, what if some work I have to do WHILE I am there on a Sunday isn't necessarily necessary? Bathroom cleaning every day, ok, I would say for hygiene resaons. But they want us to clean the residents' rooms every day. Ok, could say it's necessary, but is it? UI was working today so I made sure I cleaned well so tomorrow (Sunday) I...
