Dear Catholics, It is never a sin to want to have sex with your spouse. You all seem very confused about this. Sincerely, A concerned sister

SSPX Bishop Goldade calls out Vatican's 1986 Assisi event with false religions. "This is a great scandal. It's an offense against the First Commandment of God."

IMPORTANT NOTICE I was misinformed about some of the happenings at this past weekend's pilgrimage in Rome. The banning of pilgrims from entering St. Peter's Basilica as a group was despicable, there's nothing else to say about it. But the moving of the Vespers was not dictated by ecclesiastical policy, and it was the organizers of the pilgrimage, not anyone at St. Mary Major or the Vatican, who chose to request a one-hour slot for a low Mass, due to the normal unavailability of that basilica on Saturdays. Owing to lack of good organization, they failed to communicate to everyone what was going on, and as a result, the unprecedented lack of a solemn Mass was easy to interpret as a snub. Finally, the policy of no photography is apparently a common policy at St. Mary Major's. For all I know, even some of the above information is still wrong, but I believe it to be in the interests of truth to revise my earlier negative judgment, which would have been justified had the data reaching me been accurate.

Nope!. The Roman Church is in fact not the Church of Christ. 🤔

Faith can be embodied in all cultures, because it does not identify itself with any of them in a specific one. It dwells within them, shaping them from within according to the “form” of Jesus Christ; that is, through charity, service and the filial recognition of God’s fatherhood. In this way, the Church draws from the various cultures all that is good, beautiful and true, in order to embody and transmit the message of the Gospel. #GeneralAudience
