This brought about another discussion where a poster took offense to this assertion saying that Haitians are Roman Catholics and not in fact Christians. <br /><br />I've encountered this before. I don't understand. What brings about this belief Roman Catholics are not Christian or lesser Christians than those of other denominations? I'm confused.Carol Annehttp://www.pagliotti.com/newsoapboxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-86872302944011330352010-01-20T13:36:44.078-08:002010-01-20T13:36:44.078-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.CChadbournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857645092620790132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-30469243772187489872010-01-20T08:28:25.606-08:002010-01-20T08:28:25.606-08:00I had always been told that St. Joseph the Worker ...I had always been told that St. Joseph the Worker was the go-to Saint while job-hunting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-44602269241866166052010-01-19T19:41:00.493-08:002010-01-19T19:41:00.493-08:00mph, there's a fair chance that the perpetrato...mph, there's a fair chance that the perpetrators exposed themselves one way or another.

Instead, I'll ask how anyone knows the hunk of bread St. Benedict prayed over was poisoned if a raven flew off with it, unless the raven was then seen eating it and dropped dead while doing so. In which case, as you said sister, poor raven. It would have been nicer if the bread had just disappeared with a small pop.mphnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-58066377494137923172010-01-17T14:48:08.560-08:002010-01-17T14:48:08.560-08:00Thanks Diane, I will.

When praying the rosary, ask for guidance. God loves both you and your husband and is totally trustworthy.<br /><br />Check out THAT CATHOLIC SHOW on youtube for a light-hearted look at some Catholic practices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NFuu6W392k&feature=relatedDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690348821757283659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-18360101692859124862010-01-16T15:41:20.756-08:002010-01-16T15:41:20.756-08:00Diane,

I pray the Rosary, venerate the saints, and keep statues and such in my home. I guess you could say I'm a closet Catholic. Most of my friends don't know and my family thinks I'm either on crack or practicing voodoo. Thanks for your comments. I'll think about what you said.<br /><br />JennieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-31786539981514867532010-01-16T11:22:14.743-08:002010-01-16T11:22:14.743-08:00Sister,

It gives me hope for my 4 kids as adults. <br /><br />And Jennie, my non-Catholic husband does not go to church. He said he doesn't want to deal with the questions (translation: judgment) about where his wife is and why she's not there with him.<br />If you feel called home to your roots, is there a Saturday vigil Mass you can attend, so that you're still able to go to church with your husband on Sunday? I tried to make that compromise with my husband but he ended up never going anywhere on Sunday. I decided that the kids and I were going to whatever Mass was conducive for us. I couldn't torture the kids by over-church-ing them all weekend. So Sunday at noon it is. As for the new-age stuff, let Scripture be your guide. Plus you'd be talking in their "language" anyway, since they hold fast to that Sola Scriptura stance of theirs.Feisty Irish Wenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689381839029507940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-62384188093647180932010-01-15T12:28:04.892-08:002010-01-15T12:28:04.892-08:00Sister,

It all sounds very new age-y to me, as I flirted with the new age movement for awhile. My question is, what should I do? I want to come to my Catholic church but my husband vehemently doesn't. He said I could go without him, but I'm afraid he won't go to church at all without me. Right now we're in wait and see mode, but I feel like something very dangerous is happening here. Thanks for any remarks.<br /><br />JennieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
