Can't wait for our classes to begin. They keep saying they're waiting to get a group together. Guess I'll have to wait till next Easter for my conversion.

Not judging, in the least. Just sharing what i have been told. Remember... God forgives. There are far worse transgressions in this world that God forgives us for. Don't let a website discourage what you are trying to obtain. That relationship with God.

I am glad that you are pro-life! So am I. I have been a Catholic almost 8 years now and I see many very devout Catholics and many people who are Catholic but really do not understand the faith. My Bishop is Paul Swain who is a convert from Wisconson, he is a devout bishop who striveds to educate the whole dioceses.
There is no perfect church as it is made up of humans! But Jesus established a church with a magisterium to help it keep on tract as a whole and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. But of course any organization made up of humans can struggle.
Keep the faith! And pray hard for your bishop!

I don't think we can ever even begin to understand and fathom the true nature of God. I for one don't need a definite answer on this topic, why you may ask? Well, God has given us just enough information that we need in order to understand or know about the creation in order for us to live good lifes and return to him. So basically, I trust that I've been given enough information and don't need to focus on limiting God.
I recommend reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church 282- to about 310. I read it recently and I don't think it gives a definite answer one way or another, probably because they don't want to limit The Creator. I think they understand that there is just too much we don't need to know. If I remember right they are pretty vague about it.
Now I should say that they do believe God creates from nothing, but it doesn't go into all details of how this happens, or by what means he has to employ to make things happen. It seems to me they are just defining the starting point. Some may scoff at me for my next two sentences, but again this comes from my observation of our current situation here on this planet. We have fundamental laws of physics that can't be broken. Why should we assume that God doesn't have something similar. Now as far as we are concerned he's all powerful, all knowing, omniscient because he may not be bound by our rules. Again, this boils back down to we just don't know and everything we can say about it is just a guess and is of no real import to our current situation. The point is that he has the power to make His Will happen, whether, for example, it meant that in order to give us certain natural resources he had to let the dinosaurs roam the planet for a time, rather than employing the I-Dream-of-Genie-eye twitch and poof it magically happens.
I didn't mean that to believe in Creation I believe it happened in 6 24 hour days, but I do believe in 6 days to God (a day is like a 1000 years)
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
therefore the dinosaurs had time to roam so to speak and I also believe the I dream of genie mentality, only instead of the eye twitch, He spoke it into existence.
Genesis 1:3 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Just my two cents on the matter.

I'm praying for you. |
Sorry I haven't been on for a while. When I first read your post a few weeks ago, I was too distressed to respond and even felt a sting from your post. I just re read it again today and I now read with clarity and matter of factly.
Thanks for the prayers and for being direct. I myself prefer the direct approach, even if it sometimes stings. By being direct there is less room for being misunderstood.

RCIA is starting in most churches. Anyone with questions about the Catholic faith should contact their local church. Just because you attend classes does not mean you have to join. Follow Jesus with you own heart and see what he has for you!
