The “war” between religion and science as you are attempting to draw here, is in fact a fantasy, an illusion, the fruit of a tragic misunderstanding. First, in a very real sense, the modern physical sciences came from religion. The great fo

My fiance (soon to be wife) and I are both devout Catholics, having children is a gift for us. We won't be using contraception after we are married, only NFP (or abstain) and if she gets pregnant, then it's a cause for celebration

I attend my parish often and it is true that a lot of people are leaving but to be honest it doesn't bother me much. As Catholics, if we spend our time worrying about "the numbers" then we've lost the purpose of what it
