I raise you :tongue: My grandmother was from a family of 16




Assuming that she was an Anglican disqualifies her :wink:


My cousin in law's great grandmother was one of 20. That's not even a joke :colondollar:

Try again :wink:

Well, it's definitely a personal decision whether you would, but I wouldn't. Marriage is hard enough, but when two people are of different faiths, it's even harder, and more prone to break up. If you're raising children, you want a clear religious message coming from both parents in a household with a strong catholic ethos. :smile:

Ah it's not feeling ill from fasting, it's mental health problems that tend to get worse around Lent and Holy Week in particular :frown: You're right though that praying the rosary will probably help. Maybe I should aim to do a rosary each day of Lent. I might try that actually. Thank you :h:

Palm Sunday is 13th April :yep:

It would certainly be nice to do it together. Maybe all of Cath Soc could do it together? Then we can spread it to Christian Soc and take over, mwahahahahaha :colone:

I mean, yeah! Let's do it together. In the sense that we can write each day about our thoughts or specific rosary intentions, etc :smile:

Edit: Not sure of fasting times, since I don't usually do the whole fasting thing. I'd imagine sunrise til sunset, though I might just be getting that from Islam and Ramadan :erm:

:eek: about your Christian friend. Don't worry: most of the people in X Soc are harmless and would never be so rude, even if they believe their Bible is the right one :tongue:
