Dear Elizabeth,

This is a good topic for a thread. I suppose that you are right in this...

Prayers for you, my friend. As Mykhayl, I have a certain experience with back problems and I wish you well. I hope you have good doctors, follow their advice and above all--have faith that things will get better. If they give you Physical Therapy--do

Very interesting question Slavipodvizhnik. And I like the way you phrased it, with the back up examples of things that are not being pursued. Thanks.

Welcome to "Rites" by Pani Rose Yesterday at 01:10 PM

This seems to be an interesting page on the Churches and their development done by a Catholic priest. Since I am not a scholar, I leave that to you guys to discuss

Re: Assurance of Genuine Contrition by MarkosC Yesterday at 10:01 AM

Knightwolf,

As mentioned, talk to the priest about it. The forgiveness he gives is the forgiveness of the Church, the Body of Christ.

Dear Pani Rose,

the Government has started an inquiry, but nothing has been said about executions. This is not the time for hunting down violators of construction codes, and the Chinese government knows it. We have a saying which basically

Re: Assurance of Genuine Contrition by Knightwolf Yesterday at 08:37 AM

I mean, I want Jesus' forgiveness. The thing that I did was...is hard for me to verbalize. The only reason I think I can do it in Confession is cause I have been taught that the

Re: Assurance of Genuine Contrition by Athanasius The L Yesterday at 08:33 AM

Dear Knightwolf:

I suggest that you seek advice from a trusted priest in matters like this. The only thought of my own that I will add is that I believe that the fact that you acknowledge your sin as "grave," that you are concerned that y

Re: Assurance of Genuine Contrition by Our Lady's slave Yesterday at 08:30 AM

Knightwolf

It strikes me that you really need to sit down with a priest and discuss this with him.

You freely express your sorrow for what you have done here, and state that you want to start again . This surely is contrition ?<

Assurance of Genuine Contrition by Knightwolf Yesterday at 08:13 AM

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am a Catholic who has been just recently Initiated into the faith (sans baptism...I got that as a baby).

Anyway, I am going to Confession today to confess a particularly grave sin I committed and I

Re: What's Wrong with Gender-Neutral Bible Translations by Lady Byzantine Yesterday at 06:36 AM

Dear Dr. John,

You wrote: “And to change them now is a real assault on the peoples' worship.”

That is the only thing in your post that is accurate. The bishops have assaulted the people with their reformation.

Re: "The Vigil" by Serge Keleher Yesterday at 04:52 AM

Vigils are certainly known to the Greeks - I've been to them in Athens occasionally. They really do last all night, with shifts of choirs and clergy, and buses arriving and leaving bringing the faithful from various parishes. Stupendous!

Re: The Book of Needs by Serge Keleher Yesterday at 04:49 AM

What does Quote:a valid text for prayer mean?

On a practical note, there are innumerable editions of the Book of Needs. Most priests have a selection of them for various purposes.

Re: Huge Chalices by Serge Keleher Yesterday at 04:46 AM

Christ is Risen!

Just returned from Athens, and can report that a few of the church-supply houses in Athens are stocking jumbo-sized chalices, mostly for Russian parishes. Incidentally, the prices in Athens have gone through the roof.

There are several active monasteries of the Priestist Old-Ritualists (the Metropolitanate of Bielaia Krinitsa) in Romania. The depredations of the USSR left no monasteries known to be functioning in the former USSR. It

No worries. It is only nit-picking if you are using the question in a rhetorical way to crticize.

I wonder what the size of the original altar bread was? The Lamb looks like it is at least four inches tall. Somewhere, there must be a huge seal.
