For college take a look at colleges who take no government funding whatsoever. Two excellent such schools are Hillsdale College in Hillsdale MI and the University of Steubenville in Steubenville, OH.

You may be more Catholic than you realize. Peace be with you always.

Do you not know Robert1824, that there are far more abortions by the very taking of contraceptives than there are by surgical abortion? Indeed because they are abortifacients which cause the lining of the uterus to slough off, the baby once conceived which the contraceptive did NOT prevent travels down thru the fallopian tube into the womb in which it cannot implant and is flushed out because of the abortive action. Every woman on the pill will statistically have an abortion about every 2 years and not even know of the child to whom she gave life only to be killed by the same mom's action/ignorance.

As a former Souther Baptist of 30 adult years, and now a Roman Catholic who first researched all of the doctrines of the Catholic Church and found nothing whatsoever contrary to the Bible I can tell you there is nothing wrong with the Catholic Church's teaching on doctrine or morals. On the other hand Luther was/is wrong on sola scripture of if that had been a correct understanding by that very requirement the Bible would have had to say that it was indeed the sole source of God's word. It does NOT. And Luther said salvation is by sola fide (faith alone); but , the Bible does NOT say that. In fact the Bible says the very opposite in James 2: 24, "You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone."

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." --Thomas Jefferson "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- Thomas Jefferson "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -- Thomas Jefferson "To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." -- Thomas Jefferson

Henry, Your problem is your lack of historical knowledge of schools in the United States from the time of the Revolutionary period and earlier up to at least the 1930s. Under our present Constitution until the 1930s or so, children in all schools could freely pray and all were receiving Judeo Christian moral teaching. The Constitution did not change; but men's hearts, including in the Judiciary, turned away from God and turned away from the Constitution.

continued... AND you will quickly learn that NONE of those men mistakenly considered to be Christ's brother are NOT his brothers; but rather his COUSINS. Christ had NO brothers by his mother, Mary.

You have no evidence for your claim that Mary had even a single child other than her son, Jesus. There is no evidence of such. The language of the Jewish people of the time of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph was Aramaic, a "take off" of Hebrew. In both languages of Hebrew and Aramaic there is a word for 'brother'. BUT there is NO word for 'cousin.' They called near relatives "brothers"; cousins were called "brothers" as there was no better word to use. Don't believe me? Go to the Gospel messages of the crucifixion; all of them; and prepare a table listing who was there in one column, who their identified sons were and those who were their identified husbands were. Use all the Gospel accounts of this. AND you will quickly learn that...

For you, Britt, and others who do not know better. No Catholic worships Mary! No one! Recall if you are able that Christ never sinned and that includes that he always honored his mother. We, you should know, are to emulate Christ. And we therefore do as he did, we honor his mother. Are you even a Christian? If you are, do you not know that those saved by the Grace of God go to be with Him in Heaven where we are more alive with Him (as we know Him as He is) there in Heaven then we ever were here on earth. Mary, like her fully divine fully human son, is fully alive in Heaven. And yes through the continued grace of our Lord, can hear us and can pray for us. You know so little of faith.
