My mother's family were full-on Irish Catholics - faith in an elaborate old fashioned highly conservative and madly baroque style. I sort of fell out of the tribe over women's rights and social justice issues when I was just 13 years old.
Catholicism played such a huge part in my life I would not have survived without my faith.
President Obama and his radical feminist enforcers have had it in for Catholic medical providers from the get-go. It's about time all people of faith fought back against this unprecedented encroachment on religious liberty. First they came for the Catholics. Who's next?
A large psychic void is left by a loss of faith. So many Catholics have tried so many things to replace it.
Well I think that Catholicism's basic foundation of faith is personal conscience. I think it's between you and God not you and the Church.
I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household and that is my family's faith.
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic not gifted with the necessary scientific learning presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
You see some non-Catholic friends of mine have questioned the depth of my faith because of the fact that I have a good education.
Catholic schools in our Nation's education have been paramount in teaching the values that we as parents seek to instill in our children.
As a proud Catholic I know the impact that faith-based education can have in our society and have witnessed it first hand in my district.
Though I am a Catholic a professing one I have serious doubts about the survival of the human personality after death.
The death of Pope John Paul II led many of different faiths and of no faith to acknowledge their debt to the Roman Catholic Church for holding on to absolutes that the rest of us can measure ourselves against.
Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.
I grew up in a big Irish Catholic family. My dad was a pretty rough guy. So one of my brothers left home when he was 15 and found his way to the gym. It gave me the opportunity to go and spend some time with him and work out in the gym.
Growing up I had a front row seat to seeing two people work really hard. My dad scrubbed toilets at a private Catholic school for a while and that was to help me get through school.
My mom's a Catholic and my dad's a Jew and they didn't want anything to do with anything.
My father was Catholic my mother was Protestant and because of that I got Christened in both churches so I've got all these names... but my Dad always called me Mick.
At 18 I guarded the parking lot at the Catholic church bingos. Now my dad made sure I could take care of myself. I carried a Smith and Wesson 357 magnum.
I thought Daredevil was kind of cool because he couldn't do anything. I mean he's blind. It wasn't that he could fly. His major power was an impediment. So I was intrigued. When I took over he was kind of like Spider-Man-lite but I was able to project a lot of my Catholic imagery onto it. And I'd always wanted to do a crime comic.
I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn't the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.
I used to be a Catholic. I left because I object to conversion by concussion. If you don't agree with what they teach you get clobbered over the head until you do. All that does is change the shape of the head.
The Roman Catholic Church isn't going to change its theologies.
Damien Hirst is the Elvis of the English art world its ayatollah deliverer and big-thinking entrepreneurial potty-mouthed prophet and front man. Hirst synthesizes punk Pop Art Jeff Koons Marcel Duchamp Francis Bacon and Catholicism.
Catholics and evangelicals need to remain allied and in solidarity against the increasingly aggressive secularism of our age.
