Sometimes, we take ourselves way too seriously. We worry about a lot things. But we tend to forget to have a good laugh.
My Catholicism Archives
There are just times when you have to give the Bible verses that condemn homosexual behavior. I've grown sick and tired of having to respond to the smart-mouthed questions, "Do you eat pork? Do you wear clothes of blended fabrics?"
Jimmy Akin Is Amazing

For those of you who don't know who Jimmy Akin is, he is a Catholic convert and apologist. He has been defending the Catholic faith for a very long time now.

Don't Over-spiritualize Everything
04/12/2023

Whether it's over-spiritualizing clinical depression, overstepping by asking God to reveal someone else's spiritual wounds to their heart without their permission, or a proficient in the spiritual life criticizing others for having inordinate earthly attachments or even enjoying life, it...

But in our hyperfocus on lust, I think we might be overlooking another vice that is another major contributing factor in...

After watching the beginning of the video, I scrolled down to the comments section and hit the "Newest" button. I saw this comment:
December 7th, 1941 is a date that is stamped permanently in my memory, thanks to the opening line of FDR's excellent speech on December 8th, 1941: "Yesterday, December 7th, 1941---a date which will live in infamy---"

This excerpt from TV Tropes, talking about one of the tropes in The Phantom of the Opera, is wrong. The Angel of Music is not another name for Satan. Many Christians get the idea that it is based on this verse from Ezekiel in the King James Bible:
