No, don't use that for community service, it's bad. It's bad because it's not voluntarily, you are forced to do it because of your oath to the church during baptism. Consider …
There is a difference in criticizing out of anger and love. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was criticizing out of love in order for them to wake up and notice their faults.

You are very funny mabsoota and i really appreciate it that you made this thread. This is a topic which i am really interested in because sometimes i am put in awkward positions in which it's hard to answer. I am hoping that some learned person will…
I don't agree in locking the forums during the Lent. If people's posting gets out of hand then Father Peter will alert them, but locking the forums is simply a decision which has good intentions but bad effects.

Oh my bad, i didn't mean to write Jeremiah, i was just reading that book while posting so i subconsciously wrote it, my bad, lol.
You really need to talk to your foc about this. You have been posting several times about issues like this and it seems that in your case a physical conversation will help. Please, go talk to your father of confession. The feelings you are having ar…

I am sick of tv shows taking sexual immorality lightly. People can't just make sexual jokes and think this is something small.
It is sad that some of these people could hav…
I saw it on the way tv al tareeq. I don't think it's salafists they are a huge group of Muslim people being led by a criminal called Essam I believe. It's truly horrible what's going on in Egypt. Nothing new but it's sad every time

David the Prophet was in the army. St. George was in the army. Jonathan was in the army. The army isn't bad as long as it is keeping the peace in your country. It is okay as long as the purpose for the war isn't about exterminating a race of people …

It depends whose side you're looking at it from. You, as the sinner, should feel humiliated and ashamed about your sins.

I actually have a question about this saint. In the synexarium it says that he killed the barbarians with his swords. Is this the same kind of murder as self defense?
This is not how all Catholic churches are. We shouldn't see this news article then assume that all Catholic priests are immoral. The issue is that the Catholic priests aren't allowed to marry.
Our Church didn't allow priests to marry either, but th…
