Catholic

[close] For discussing Catholic books pertaining to the Ordinariates [(Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham (England and Wales, Scotland), Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter (United States, Canada), Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross (Australia, Japan)] established by Pope Benedict XVI to preserve the Anglican Patrimony of Anglicans converting to the Roman Catholic Church. Anglican-Use liturgy, Bible translations and commentaries, Anglican to Catholic theologians, Ordinariate publications etc. are all relevant examples.

[close] This was founded on the feast of the Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 2021. Why is Spiritual Motherhood mentioned? Because if you are a woman who wants to be a Spiritual Mother for Priests, this is for YOU. What does it mean to be a Spiritual Mother? It means taking on a motherly role for the soul of a priest. This can be a priest who you choose for yourself, or there are programs online where you can sign up to be assigned a priest to pray for. If you have any questions, feel free to ask- group admins are ready to answer any questions that you may have and will give links to websites that can explain it more clearly and thoroughly. We pray that God will help you discern His Will. God bless you!

[close] A space for thoughtful discussion on theology and beyond: meaning, morality, and the depths to understanding human life. This group welcomes diverse traditions, philosophical inquiry, and reflective dialogue about sacred texts, inner life, ethical questions, and the role of religion in the modern world. The goal is not preaching or debate for victory, but understanding, exploration, and respectful exchange of ideas. Remember that respect comes first. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, ridicule, or hostility toward beliefs or non-belief. Feel free to share perspectives, interpretations, and experiences, but this is a discussion space, not a place to persuade others to adopt a faith, so basically no preaching or conversion attempts. Stay thoughtful and on topic, posts should relate to theology, meaning, morality, sacred texts, literature, psychology of belief, or religion in society. Interpretations are welcome, claims of absolute authority are not. All comments and conversations must be in English. Don’t hesitate to open a topic under any theme that has already been featured. If you’re unsure where your topic belongs, you’re welcome to ask in the Open Discussion under the thread titled Topic Creation. And don't forget that we also have a Cafetaria for casual conversation or introductions in the Open Discussion section.

[close] The best books about Atheism are, in my opinion, the ones by Paulo Bittencourt: “Wasting Time on God” and “Liberated from Religion”. Unlike Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris, who have never been believers in God, Paulo Bitencourt speaks from experience: he was an Evangelical and studied Theology to be a pastor.
