I’m 16f and these are just some thoughts I wanted to talk about and give my viewpoint about. I see people call the Catholic Church misogynistic and sexist a lot. I think there’s definitely some Catholics who contribute to the perception of this especially online where people try…

My son and I were in the room when we had to put our 12 year old black lab to sleep yesterday and we're both taking it pretty hard. He asked me about if pets go to heaven, and I told him I think so because they're part of God's creation and they make us happy on Earth so I think…

I've seen a lot of posts recently about marrying non-Catholic Christians, and even atheists. Never once have I seen someone mention the fact that by doing so, the husband puts his own soul in jeopardy. A husband and father is called to be the priest and head of his domestic chur…

I’ve reached a point where I don’t know what to do anymore, honestly I’ll take any advice. My entire childhood, both of my parents neglected me emotionally. They provided food and a home, but I never really knew what it felt like to be loved by them. I can’t remember receiving h…

My boyfriend is Catholic and I’ve been going to mass with him. We’re a young couple (teenagers), and he’s taught me a lot about Catholicism. His mom even gave me a rosary recently that she made for me which I thought was really sweet. Also, I talked to my parents about how I wan…

I am 15 years old, and I want to convert to Catholicism. I am currently Mormon, because my parents raised me as one. they wont let me go to mass, or do anything related, until I have served a mission for Mormonism. I am not sure how to maintain my faith until then.

I’m absolutely devastated and heartbroken, I’ve had my cross for 34 years. I went on a holiday with my friend and my friend got very drunk and I had to help and carry him back to the apartment, the links on the chain must have broken. I’ve tried absolutely everything to look for…

I just want to thank God and St Joseph of Cupertino. I promised I’d make his name known if he prayed for me and God answered my prayer to pass my medical school exam. I had no faith and genuinely believed I failed but then prayed the novena prayer to St Joseph and other saints.…

I am an Atheist. I've been pursuing Roman Catholicism since February. Whilst that journey has been beneficial for me in many ways, I've recently grown a fascination with the Eastern Orthodox. Though I'm still very hesitant to actually begin pursuing it. Catholicism has helped me…

So, my parish uses AI “art” extensively for the church bulletin. While I know it can be said that my issue with this is a matter of personal taste, I would assume that mostly everybody on here would agree with me that art made by humans depicting Christ, Mary, and the saints (of…
