"I like Christie as governor of New Jersey. I'd probably like him as governor of my state, too. But, I don't think that he's the savior of the GOP. Christie's not as conservative as I am, but he's in…"

Mike M. replied to William James's discussion The Legalisation of Gay Marriage in the group The Great Debate"I see the push for gay marriage as part of a broader push to mandate stupidity. No one actually thinks that the union of a man and a woman and the union of two people of the same sex are the same. They don't function the same way,…"
Nathan DeParis replied to Mike M.'s discussion He is risen! in the group Catholic Men"A very happy Easter to you as well Mike M. It's like the world series, the Superbowl, memorial day , independence day all wrapped into one day. The greatest day."
Mike M. added a discussion to the group Catholic Men
He is risen!
O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.Happy Easter, everyone!See More
Mike M. replied to Noluckbuck's discussion Personal Issue with faith in the group Catholic Men""the fact that we don't have strong feelings most of the time during worship (or perfect knowledge any of the time?) isn't a bug, it's a feature. It trains us to seek not the wonderful feeling of worship, or the…"
Mike M. replied to Noluckbuck's discussion Personal Issue with faith in the group Catholic Men"I guess two things jump out at me... not sure if they're helpful or completely off base, but anyway...
1) I think your standards are rather unrealistic. If you ever meet someone who tells you that he has all of the answers to everything,…"
Mike M. replied to thedifference's discussion Friend and I kissed, now I haven't heard from her."It seems like you only really have two options... send her a message asking her what the story is, or don't say anything. I don't think either one is a terrible thing to do."
Mike M. replied to Russell Yount's discussion See you in Steubenville this summer? in the group Catholic Men"Hmm. I had assumed that going would be out of my price range... but I just checked and noticed the rather low 18-30 year old rates. Now that I see those, I'm seriously considering attending the Applied Biblical Studies conference."
Mike M. replied to Steve C's discussion Habemus Papam! in the group Catholic Men"FWIW, he didn't renew the appointments of the curia members, which is usually done right away. I don't want to make any outlandish predictions about a drastic house cleaning, but it seems reasonable to think that he's reviewing…"
Mike M. replied to Steve C's discussion Habemus Papam! in the group Catholic Men"While he's undoubtedly focused on justice for the disadvantaged (as we should all be,) so far, I'm seeing a Pope whose primary focus is on the Cross (as ours should be.)"
Mike M. replied to Steve C's discussion Habemus Papam! in the group Catholic Men"As far as I can tell, they're basing the "Dirty Wars" story on rumors that originated with members of a murderous communist regime who had no love for Bergoglio. If their stories came with any evidence, I'd certainly…"
Mike M. replied to Steve C's discussion Habemus Papam! in the group Catholic Men"I suppose I didn't really explain myself before. It's not so much about the EF for its own sake. Pope Benedict never indicated that he wanted the EF to replace the ordinary form. He did, however, talk of mutual…"
Mike M. replied to Steve C's discussion Habemus Papam! in the group Catholic Men"You think that there are things that override the importance of leading people to Christ? Most people do... those people are not Christians.
As for Francis being a Jesuit, he wasn't exactly one of the cool kids in the order. He was…"
Mike M. replied to Steve C's discussion Habemus Papam! in the group Catholic Men"I think you're setting up a false dichotomy. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
This sort of thing reminds me of the story of the woman who anointed Jesus with perfume. Yes, she could have sold it and donated the proceeds to…"
Mike M. replied to Steve C's discussion Habemus Papam! in the group Catholic Men"You're asking him for his evidence??"

Vytautas replied to James Head's discussion Women, my curse!"I agree that there is a tendency amongst feminists to criticize women who make 'traditional' choices in family and career. This view denies the will of the woman to choose for herself, and prejudicially believes that a…"
Vytautas replied to J. Hughes's discussion Are we failing at spreading the Word? in the group Christian Men"Just because homosexuality is being discussed or prayer isn't allowed in schools doesn't mean that Christian identity is being eroded.
Having a stranglehold on the laws and customs of a nation does not constitute our identity as…"
J. Hughes added a discussion to the group Christian Men
Are we failing at spreading the Word?
Are we failing at spreading the Word?One of the things I believe to be happening is a very small but very vocal minority is changing the way the country (USA) thinks and acts.What might be considered as biblically right is in flux and the backbone of who we were is being shifted, curved and warped into some distorted image of our former self. "In God we Trust", is printed on our money, “ Do you swear to tell the truth…"(hand on the Bible), homosexuality is being discussed in the Boy Scouts, no…See More
Vytautas replied to Larry's discussion Do you love your Christian brothers? in the group Christian Men"Try as I may, I fail, sinner that I am.
I am often frustrated by my Christian brothers' and sisters' bigoted and close-minded attitudes."
