I'm wondering why I haven't heard of more activism towards informing people of the evils of IVF. Do you share NAPRO resources with people going into IVF clinics? Do you advise your family and friends away from it? Supposedly, many more are killed through IVF each year than through abortion...

My daughter is turning 4 soon, and I’m just wondering when I should be raising my expectations. Currently, I still just settle for keeping her quiet and somewhat still, letting her lay in the pew looking through saint books and stuff. Should I start making her kneel, stand, and sit at the...

Pray for Pope Francis and all of the clergy. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-appoints-pro-abortion-friend-to-leadership-post-in-new-vatican-institute/

I know the legality of same-sex marriage is harmful to our culture, but so is the legality of many other things like pornography and I never see political movements against them. Isn’t same-sex marriage one of those cases where our religious beliefs can’t infringe on the “pursuit of happiness”...

I’m becoming very confused between all of these articles and documents coming out about vaccinations and aborted fetal cells. I didn’t even know until today that vaccines were produced using aborted fetal cells. I read that it is okay to receive vaccines that come from aborted fetal cells as...

Why is someone obligated to marry in the Church because of Baptism, regardless of how little they were raised in the faith afterwards?

My cousin and best friend is getting married. He was my best man at my wedding and I am supposed to be his best man. He was baptized Catholic, but was not raised in the faith afterwards and doesn’t practice. He is currently agnostic with a negative opinion of “organized religion”. I told him...

I have heard some Catholics say that the multiverse theory is compatible with Catholicism. How can this be true? From my understanding, the multiverse theory asserts that every possible thing that could happen in fact does happen in one of an infinite number of universes. If there is an...

I’ve been boycotting as many companies as I can from a list of direct supporters of Planned Parenthood that I saw years ago, especially easy ones like Kraft, Nike, Ben and Jerry’s, etc. where there are plenty of other companies to choose for cheese, shoes, and ice cream. However, I can’t find a...

Has anybody played Dragon Age? I love the parallels to Catholicism in the game, but I’m unsure of who to support as Divine. I like that Cassandra is more traditional, and feel like supporting her would symbolize supporting an unchanging doctrine. However, the Chantry isn’t the Catholic Church...

Is there a particular reason or are they just busy?

I was just messing around on Google Maps exploring countries I haven’t heard much about and saw some cool looking monasteries and landscapes in Armenia. I started reading about the country on Wikipedia and read that it was the first Christian nation. Apparently the Catholic population there is...

What country are you from? What’s unique about the way Catholicism is practiced there? How has the culture there influenced faith traditions? What is the most interesting thing you know about the history of Catholicism in your country? Who is a saint from your country or that influenced your...

For a long time I didn’t even know we were obligated to an act of penance on Fridays all year. At first I decided to just abstain from meat like during Lent. Then, one day I forgot to pack peanut butter and jelly for lunch instead of turkey and decided I would say the rosary as an act of penance...

Isn’t it disrespectful to remove bodies from the ground and put them on display?
