I need to get myself a copy of YouCAT sometime

Hey like your GIF lol.

Whilst we're on the topic on religions, what do you guys think of Islam? (Please, let's respect other religions too...)

Yeah. Thanks. I don't even know what possessed me to ask. I asked Fr Peter at the Roman Catholic church I was attending a couple of years ago and he said the same thing as Aula. I could ask anyone else, and they'll probably say the same thing again.

Also, why would I 'Ask a Christian?' I became a Christian in 2004, was baptized then, and chrismated in 2012. I've read books and studied theology, church history, the lot - and found no solid theological answer for this question. I just wanted the opinions of people in this thread, and maybe to make a couple of people think: it's better to say 'Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner' than '...holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.'

it's good but having trouble accepting some things.



I'll be honest and say that I don't like Islam due to personal reasons. I respect that everyone have their beliefs but I feel that Islam is being forced on many people.

Hey there, do you mind if we talk about it? About Islam that is. If you don't want to that's cool.

You do know the post you quoted was made over 8 years ago?

Islam has truth in it, but is not the whole truth and has distorted truths in it.

please note that this is not the right thread for discussing opinions on Islam... this is a thread for Catholics to gather and chat


I honestly don't see a problem with saying both

And as TLG said, AAC would be a better place for this.

The way I look at it. when you pray 'to' the saints, you're just asking them to pray for you. There's very little different between me asking St. Anthony to help me find something I've lost, and asking people on here to pray for me to find whatever it is that I've lost. Main difference being that St. Anthony is closer to God (by being in heaven).

I'll quite happily ask people on here to pray for me - does that take away from Christ being our intercessor and mediator?

I'm not a Catholic and I've struggled to understand why they pray before statues and they have prayers to saints in the papers. If Saint Anthony is dead and in heaven and he hears you surely Jesus Christ could do too and would he feel a bit insulted that you ask Saint Anthony thinking that he could plead for you? I mean during the life of Christ on earth did people go asking other people even if they are that pious to beg or ask for them from Jesus? Surely Jesus could hear all

Please people: if you wanna debate about praying to saints, take it to 'Ask a Christian'. This is not the right thread for this

I can't seem to find the thread. Ask a Catholic. I just wanted to know the logic like an above user. I don't have any religious Catholic friends who I could ask it without a debate. People here are friendlier.

Btw, guys, I don't know if anyone remembers, but I spoke to you all before about how my mum was away from her faith and how I felt guilty because she wanted to go to church once and I just dismissed her. Well, I gave her a bible about six months ago in hope that she would read it, and yesterday she went into the local Catholic Church of her own accord and prayed and lit candles! She also said she has been praying for the whole family! Thanks for any prayers that anyone gave me before, God is really good!

Wooh praise the Lord! Will be praying for her to be guided by the HS 😄

PS: How do I join? It doesn't show a join button in the link provided in the description. Or I could just be a bit blind/stupid not to see it.

Hi everyone! I'll be studying in the UK the next three to four years (coming from Portugal) and I wanted to know if you have any idea of how hard it may be for me to do my Confirmation there (do I just have to ask and take a course, or do I need to get some papers from here, those sorts of things)?

Many children across the world make their first Holy Communion this month- fifty in my parish alone. Pray for them and their families.
