Anything outside of that, ie: sex using birth control and sex outside of marriage (that would mean homosexual acts too) are "disordered". <br />The use of the term seems offensive, (and it may be) but it comes from the belief that the natural, God given "order" of things is fulfilled through marriage and children.Janinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-47686744999669346802013-07-29T08:49:14.742-07:002013-07-29T08:49:14.742-07:00So, with the recent statements of the pope about h...So, with the recent statements of the pope about homosexuality... I'm confused. He's careful to describe it as "disordered" but I don't think I know what that word means. What's the difference between "disordered" and "sinful?" What other things are disordered?Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177650062666144873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-58669131543635234392013-07-29T04:37:19.601-07:002013-07-29T04:37:19.601-07:00Dear Sister Mary Martha,

We have and will continue to try to lead a Christ-centered relationship. He confessed to me that while we were apart he lost his virginity to another woman. He's very upset. What advice can I give him and what saint can I ask to intercede for him?

Although it may actually be from one of his aides. She did fancy drawn work and made him an amice. The priests do not use an amice any more as part of the vestments, but at that time she made one for every new priest she know when they were ordained as well as bishops she knew being consecrated. I don't know how my grandmother knew so many new priests and bishops.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-37666498165003198332013-07-28T08:37:18.004-07:002013-07-28T08:37:18.004-07:00Sister Mary Martha, is there any way to tell about...Sister Mary Martha, is there any way to tell about how old the Apostles were?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-6124939877602565842013-07-27T16:35:13.540-07:002013-07-27T16:35:13.540-07:00Sister, I've discovered many new religious ord...Sister, I've discovered many new religious orders are springing up in the Church.
