Theologians said the move was highly significant - both for what it says about Benedict's willingness to buck a long-standing tenet of Catholic belief and for what it means theologically about the Church's views on heaven, hell and original sin - the sin that the faithful believe all children are born with.

Although Catholics have long believed that children who die without being baptized are with original sin and thus excluded from heaven, the Church has no formal doctrine on the matter. Theologians, however, have long taught that such children enjoy an eternal state of perfect natural happiness, a state commonly called limbo, but without being in communion with God.

"If there's no limbo and we're not going to revert to St. Augustine's teaching that unbaptized infants go to hell, we're left with only one option, namely, that everyone is born in the state of grace," said the Rev. Richard McBrien, professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame.

My ex girlfriend lets call her "Nicole" accused me of really rotten things (stalking and hacking). Although I was innocent she refused to even listen to me and just assumed that I would do those things. Anyway, Her and I remained friends after breaking up. After these accusations she told me never to contact her again and to stay out of her life. Although it was hard i obliged. Yesterday I did a backup of my phone and the file must have still had her number. I know two people named "nicole" and because I am a dumbass I called her. She picked up and than i realized that i called her by mistake. I hung up without really saying anything. I than sent her a txt message right after saying i did NOT intend to call her. Her response was "you didnt have to hang up on me tho. Please get your number out of ur phone,so i dont get anymore phonecalls." my question is this: why would she pick up? also why did she tell me that i didnt have to hang up? It seems like shes playing games no?

A male frequently,constantly,annoyingly insists his female friend to go out with him even when lady has denied many times because her parents dont allow her to do so.He keeps pressurising her in several emotional ways to go out with him.He always insists &says'' we will go out secretly no one will come to know about it''.Lady feels very uncomfortable,irritated and frightened. Is it the act of sexual harassment?

And just for the record:

'Juice' is that natural stuff with them real fruit flavors and what not.

'Drink' is that stuff with sugar, water, cornsyrup and coloring. That's it.


BE HONEST!

Don't just be saying Juice just to say it either.

I am moving into an old house that had carpet. I removed the carpet to find hardwood with pet stains. Sections of the wood are very dark. I don't believe that most of these stains can be sanded out. If I have the rest of the hardwood sanded, how difficult would it be to replace the damaged boards. The hardwood is red oak. Also, would it match or look like it has been patched?

She says its not an affair, but she spends the night at his place once a week, took a vacation to Mexico with him, and had him take our kids camping. She says she's doing this so I can work -since I don't make enough money to support our lifestyle. If I made more money, she wouldn't see him. I know this is not true, since I'm pretty sure my earnings are on the high end of the scale - still, some people make more. Our kids are confused (ages 9 and 10) and see OM as a sort of 'uncle.' I keep asking her to stop but she refuses. She also has an anger management problem and physically lashes out. I don't know what to do. What should I do? I don't think she'll agree to counseling.
