How dementia is being defeated - Incidence among the elderly is falling fast

When Eric Stallard, an actuary and academic, began looking into the incidence of dementia among elderly Americans, he was so stunned by his findings that he held off publishing his first paper on the subject for two and a half years while he double-checked his work. “I wanted to…

Does Trump have an heir to take over MAGA when he's gone?

Do you think Trump has an heir apparent, or is it one of those things where no one in Washington dares talk about it for fear of reminding Trump of his mortality/term limits? I know the obvious answer is Vance, but Vance does not wield the same kind of fear and influence that Tr…

Pontius Pilate’s salvation

What do you think of this? I’ve been reading The Gospels and I notice in them that Pilate seems rather reluctant and doesn’t seem to bear hatred towards Jesus, is it possible he may have turned to Christ as he continued to live through his life?

Baptist Looking to Become Catholic

I want to preface this by saying that if I misspeak or say anything that could offend anyone who may read this, I apologize. I like to think of myself as a good orator, but there are times when the things I want to say in my head do not always translate to the written word. I am…

I want to marry someone who’s Catholic but I am not

I (24F) want to marry my boyfriend (22M) sometime within the next 2 years. This is agreed upon by both of us and we have also agreed to marry in a Catholic Church. The thing is, I’m agnostic. I grew up Christian (never baptized and not super into it either) and strayed away from…

Believing in God has been getting harder and harder for me.

I honestly feel lost; I don't see any convincing reasons anymore. Faith is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain—there are so many things to grapple with: "contradictions," impossible events, paradoxes, various problems, and the overwhelming lack of evidence. Neuroscience r…

I'm a young person--the past few year has been the first time in my life where I've seen Americans overwhelmingly express sympathy for civilians instead of the military/the US. Is this signs of major change or a blip in the pan?

Most of what I remember about my early political education wrt the US and war, was spent attempting to justify most of the shit our military did. Where that wasn't applicable, we were taught to consider the feelings of individuals in the US military in unjust interventions/wars…

Why don't we have the fuller Septuagint that the Eastern Orthodox have?

was digging into the history behind the deuterocanon and came across something interesting. if my facts are right then Jerome, even after buckling to church authority, didn't translate the entire deuterocanon and thus we ended up not using some of the books, but the orthodox sti…
