Terry - Please re-read my post for what I ACTUALLY said before falsely accusing me of "resolutely declining" anything. As I believe I made quite clear - I was going off of memory of something I had read several years ago, and I would have to do some serious digging to find it again. Failure to seriously dig in a time period sufficient for your liking is in no way the same thing as resolutely declining anything. If I get the...

I would have to do some digging to find it again, but as best I can remember at the time - the US raised several credible issues to the Rome Statute which the Europeans did not feel were important enough to address, and that is the basis of the objections. Now - if it is still the case those issues have not been...

It is interesting that he doesn't seem to think that Europeans need the same source of salvation. He's right about Africa and wrong about Europe. Happy New year to all here. peace, Anglian

These people need a lot of prayer - for healing of the painfulness of this situation, and for the courage to do what is right. I'm a little confused as to what's going on there?? Do the laity have too much power controlling the coffers? So they are...

That's a great article Tinythinker- thanks for sharing it. It's a wonderful example of how, as Christians, our actions speak louder than words. Being English, I'm familiar with Matthew Paris and, despite not agreeing with him on many things, I've always found him really honest, intelligent and open. Praying, like you Carol, for his conversion and for others like him.

Dear Anglian, Christmas Greetings and New Year Greetings to you from South Asia, India. I wholeheartedly agree with what you have said. Here in India, we have Jesuits who have fallen in love with all aberrations that exist in Islam and want to introduce these aberrations in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the last 3 years. In Countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh Catholic Christians are constantly butchered by the Mullahs and their...

Islamic extremism should not be confused with the religion...

Fitztopher, have you experienced Muslims in the Arab countries? Are you aware that in many of the Arab lands, it is illegal to be Christian, and the penalty for practicing the faith is death? Do you read any of the news about the oppression of Christians in the...

Michael Jackson does some strange stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the female muslim outfits that are attracting him and so he can hide himself more and cover up his children more. The only good thing I can see about him joining the muslims if he really does, is that hopefully it will put others off joining.

Why would it matter if it helps him be a 'better' person if he is going to hell for following it? do people really join religions to be better people?
