http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1723242/Women-bring-violence-on-themselves-priest Wow, just wow. This guy says that women bring violence on themselves by dressing provocatively and not taking care of their men and children. :jaw-dropp It is better that words mostly fail me here, I think...

Greetings all During a debate about the pope's infallibility and what a crock it is, I was challenged to come up with a single instance of a pope declaring something infallibly (that is, the pope is speaking ex-cathedra, about a matter of faith or religion) and then later being found wrong or...

I'm sure its nothing new, but this story today bugged me: Good grief. So, I'm to believe that this god cat is so opposed to an Obama presidency that any informed catholic who voted for him risks eternal damnation? And come to think of it, how did Obama win against the will of an omnipotent...

That Catholic love fest called "World Youth Day" ended up costing the Australian taxpayer a heap. Any chance of the Vatican ponying up something to cover this outrageous waste? http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24709528-12377,00.html No, didn't think so.

Thought you'd all like this. An article on the front page on my local free paper, the Stafford Post, entitled "Use your new bin or commit a sin": http://www.cryptpad.com/recycle.jpg "Local environmentalists have backed the Vatican after it confirmed 'polluting the environment' would result in...

A Case of Demonic Possession. It sounds impressive, if true. Which I very much doubt. Apparently, none of it was captured on film - wonder why?

I had to decide where to post this info - was it to be Religion, Politics, Conspiracy Theories, or possibly even Humor? In the end I opted for Science/Medicine. It seems the head of the Catholic Church in Mozambique, Archbishop Chimoio, has accused the West of infecting condoms and...

On considering "one god" beliefs versus many, from the perspective of an outsider alien, it seems that many religions, and Catholics in particular really worship many gods. One boss and many lesser ones. Other religions, past or present, have gods for water, earth, fire, war and whatever, but...

This a a quote put up in the "latest commentary issues " part of the Forum. It was in response to a Belgian prosecutor recommending that the Co$ should stand trial for fraud and extortion. Stand up all the athiests who would give a "desperate cry for human rights, if it had been the catholic...

I love this: "Kid can't go to Catholic school because his name is Hell" theage.com.au/news/national/church-says-no-to-hell/2007/07/09/1183833410199.html Best of all is that his name comes about because his grand(etc)father was from Austria, where they speak German, and the latin letters...

In todays Salinas Californian... It seems that hundreds of home sellers are buying these little statues for $8 and burying them. The kits are sold on this site www.stjosephstatue.com and appeal to Catholics or I suppose anyone desperate to sell their home and are gullible enough to think this...

Catholic Church sees hope for unbaptized babies. Wow, they really take this stuff seriously, don't they. Assuming they mean if they die, I think I know.

Old news, but still newsworthy . . . Next they'll be telling us that Steve Jobs is the Anti-Christ (personally, I think it's Bill Gates), and that computers open the doorway to Hell.

Seems a corporate merger is proposed... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article1403702.ece

I have a quandry in my life journey and I would love to hear any suggestions from such an enlightened group of individuals. I have just received my dream job - a tenure track position as a professor of education in which all of my family's needs will be met as long as I don't screw up. I will...

Wow, I am glad I don't buy into that anymore. With all due respect to my friend and his family, it was his mother that died she was only 52, I wouldn't want my family sitting through something like that. It was absolutely heart-wrenching to see my friend, same age as I am, and his brother...

I've read this piece on the beeb a couple of times. Am I missing something? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4972004.stm The Vatican has expressed "deep displeasure" over China's appointment of two Roman Catholic bishops. The appointment of the bishops without the Vatican's approval...

Guys, Yea, read about it here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/catholic_town;_ylt=ArNwxOEfMtMvewI.toFjjOes0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ-- SUCKS!!!! WHERE HAS FREEDOM GONE?? Jeff

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-11-22-pregnant-teacher_x.htm When I first saw this, I thought, what? Surely the NYCLU recognizes the right of a religious institution to require employees to uphold religious standards. An unwed, pregnant teacher is apparently having non-marital sex...

I was just exploring Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy website, as I am prone to do several times/week. When I went to his Blog, found at: http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/ I saw two ads from Google along the top, which I know Phil likely has no control over, the first reads "Meet Catholic...

OK, so I knew that JPII created lots of saints, but I didn't know the vatican has their portraits on its web site. Go here and browse the archives. All I can say is: WHAT. THE. F$@K. This is how saints USED to look: This is how they look now:

City of God Tom Monaghan’s coming Catholic utopia How very charmingly cult like! :crazy:

With respect to Randi's quote of Mark Twain, about three decades ago there was a television miniseries on the history of anesthesia and surgery that made this very point. Not only did the Catholic Church oppose anesthesia for pregnancy; they opposed it for every use. This series appeared on...

Do they say that there must be no effort to lower the probability of conception? Do they say that the probability of conception must be higher than some particular number? Do they say that it must be possible for conception to occur even if there is no miracle?

Regarding the fiasco with the little girls’ communion being voided by some ignorant unsympathetic Rev. As disgusted as I am with his attitude and actions, I feel a few salient facts need to be corrected, in the interests of accuracy. Randi mentions the “church's pastor, the Rev. Stanley P...

I wonder if American clergy is up in arms over the prospect of losing job security to foreign labor. Maybe they should organize and strike. Reg. may be required.

http://www.latimes.com/news/custom/showcase/la-fg-exorcist30apr30.story I grew up in the post Vatican II Church with the notion that it could be a somewhat reasonable beacon of hope in the xtian spectrum that only got wackier. Eventually I left because I no longer needed to believe. But when I...
