Congratualtions, Marty! 🙂 (Thanks for the info, PowerBlog!)
Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
It’s time again to discuss another section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. My previous attempts at this have met with deafening silence, but I think I have more Protestant readers now, so maybe I’ll get more comments this time.
What we’ve covered so far:
"I Believe" – "We Believe" (CCC 26-184)
"I Believe in God the Father" (CCC 198-421)
Now, let’s take a look at "I Believe in Jesus Christ, the Only Son of God" (CCC 422-682). I invite all my Christian readers, Protestants in particular, to tell me what they find interesting, challenging, or contrary to their beliefs about the Church’s interpretation of this part, or previously mentioned parts of the Apostles’ Creed.
Dawn Eden, of the Dawn Patrol describes herself as "a nondenominational, small-'e' evangelical Protestant" who takes essentially "a sola scriptura approach to moral issues". She believes "that the Bible is the inerrant word of God". Why do I mention these things. I want to grab the attention of evangelical and fundamentalist readers.
Dawn has written an interesting piece about Christians and contraception. There's a lot of disagreement among Christians about the appropriateness of contraception, or lack thereof. I'd like my Protestant readers to read another Protestant's support of Catholic reproductive teachings and comment.

Things has a great blurb and some links regarding the promotion of
an option
for the use of an Anglican (slightly modified, I think) Rite for Roman
Catholic
Churches. This had come up in a previous post of Ales
Rarus, and I’m all for increasing the breadth and depth of the
liturgical life
of the Church, so enjoy! And pass it on! I’d like to help Fr. Jim and
his quest
to keep reminding the bishops about this option, and getting the word
out.
A couple days ago, Episcopalian priest Pontificator advised his Episcopalian readers
to flee
the ECUSA with great haste. He told them to join either the Orthodox or the
Catholic Church. Yesterday, an
Orthodox priest pleaded his case. Today, a
Catholic priest pleads his.
Father Addison Hart is a convert. Being a convert myself (though from the ELCA,
not the ECUSA), I’m usually pretty happy when someone crosses the Tiber. However,
every once in a while I wish some people would swim back. This guy is an – how shall
I say it? – uninspiring priest. He seems to have converted simply because the RCC
sucks less that the ECUSA. Here are some of my "favorite" bits of this
sad monograph.
