I have always heard that the "bare" minimum obligation requires Catholics to receive the Eucharist once a year, as is set forth in the Third Precept of the Church ("You shall humbly receive your Creator in Holy Communion at least during the Easter Season.")

Wind-up Question: Is this true, or are all of the precepts mandatory to be considered a practicing Catholic?

And Here's the Pitch: My grandfather was raised Catholic, and always considered himself so, but he was denied his request for a Catholic burial in 1962 because he was not practicing. Is this now, or was this proper at the time? Or were we dealing with local custom or uninformed priest?

Thanks - Jim C.

Basically, will you guys call back after a one night stand if it was off the top (3x in one night), or just work on the next time with another stranger? What qualifies as a "call back"?

because I don't believe that, all of them ( I'm talking about the ones that come here everyday to find out about God) are 100% atheists.

there must be a small % of those who secretly believe in a high power being!

what do you think?

are you one of those? don't be afraid to express your feelings

There have been a lot of feverishly repetitive posts lately asking why we "worship" Mary, the saints, and even the Pope (?). Truthful answers given have resulted in blocking the answerers ... the old childish game. So obviously the questions are rhetorical and insincere.

As one of those "honored" to be blocked by one fired-up questioner, I'd like to provide the opportunity for actual discussion that blocking tends to stifle.

Yes, I know ... this isn't the first time by a long shot. But new folks show up every day. So would any Catholics care to explain once again to those with granite craniums exactly WHO we worship -- as opposed to what it "looks like" to non-Catholics?

Of course, since this is (supposed to be) an open forum, anyone else is free to post their opinions too.

Lol.
Okay, here's the deal. I'm very independent.. especially after spending 2 years alone while my husband was in Iraq. I learned how to do things on my own like change the oil, mow the grass, etc. My husband seems to think some things are a mans job and when I do them (or try to), I'm hurting his manhood. It didn't help that I called my dad after our son flushed a bouncy ball in the toilet instead of letting him handle it.
I know this is important for some men (don't fully understand why) so what can I do (other than keep my mouth shut in the future) to help him feel manly? Any ideas?

Wheat or Tare?
Answering the call by leaving the world and every value in it to follow by faith begins our death to self (Unless a grain of wheat falls and dies it cannot bring forth fruit) . Do you think that trying to follow Jesus without leaving the world and its values makes someone a tare?

Five months ago on the camara where I work there was a green smear that would appeared and disappeared we would see once in awhile and we would be mistified by what came on the monitor because it looked like a "ghost". Sometimes there was two green specs. So one day when we saw this green "ghost" we went out to check the camara and it turned out to be bug, it was an Aphid. Now my friend and I are trying to find what type of bug si this "blue ghost" thats on the lens of the gas station everyone is sooo crazy about. I saw the video of that gas station and right away knew it was a bug; so my first question is what type and second; who else believes it is a bug and not a ghost? We can see it's legs and tail.
