In Vatican City the line to see the Pope gets longer and longer. It is expected that 2 million people will be making there way to Rome to pay there last respects to the Pope. I would not be suprised if that number is higher. I myself as a Catholic know many Catholics (who would of thought that) and I can say that even Catholics that are what you might call "cafeteria Catholics" love Pope John

Yes the College football season officially kicked off last night. A great game was on between USC and VTech. I think USC got lucky in that one because of the pass interference call that turned the momentum of the game. To me USC doesnt look like a team that can hold on to the #1 spot. In my opinion I think the only reason that they will hold on is because the schedule they play is the equalivent

Here are my predictions for SEC teams to make bowl games. I think there will be 8 SEC teams... LSU (National Championship Game) Georgia (assorted BCS game) Florida UT Auburn South Carolina Arkansas Kentucky that is basically my top 8 SEC teams in that order. The SEC is by far the best conference in the country *note Alabama was not factored in because of there problems.. (gotta love Phil

College football is right around the corner and sense I love college football I figured I would give my predictions. *note the Dark Horse is someone I think could possibly come from behind to win the Championship. Big 12 Champion: Oklahoma - I see no reason why the Sooners cant seek some revenge and take back the Big 12 title this year. On paper they are a better team than they were last year.

Id like to point out that my prediction is coming true. Randy Orton will face the champion at Summerslam via winning a Battle Royal. I will predict now that he faces Triple H for the title. So Triple H will win! ;) BTW this WWE Diva search thing sucks big!

Well as most of you WWE fans know (and those of you that dont shame on you) Triple H will face Chris Benoit for the World Heavyweight Championship tonight on Raw. The match starts off Raw so atleast we wont have to suffer through the rest of the show to get to the main event. Hopefully whoever wins will face Randy Orton at Summerslam. Orton (to me) is the next guy that should get a shot at the

Well Ive found that there are a lot of people out there that dont know a whole lot about Catholicism and where we get some of our doctrines. So may I suggest that if you are someone that doesnt know much about Catholicism and you want to learn a little bit go to Scripture Catholic. Its a great site with a lot of good information.

What can I say? The Wayans brothers strike again. White Chicks is a really good movie. The kind of "Spaceballs Stupid" movie you would come to expect from the Wayans brothers. Definatly in the 3 star range and if you dont have anything to do its a great movie to go watch. Could of been a little more funny but it was definatly good. Rating: ***1/2

Ive seen people talking about how the Catholic Church isnt the true church and how we made up that Peter was our first pope. Ive heard people say we are destroying Christianity and all these but let me tell you we can prove that Catholics are christians and are in fact a fine example of Christianity. You may ask how can you prove that? Well Ill tell you! Matthew 16:18 states "And I say also unto

I have to say Google will squash all email services when Gmail goes live to the public for free sign ups. It is far greater than Yahoo and Excite. Even the "great" Microsoft and there Hotmail service fall short of the greatness that is Gmail. Gmail is definatly worth getting and if you can get an invite I would do it because Gmail will make you forget about any other mail service youve ever had.

Yeah I cant help myself. I have to say how stupid the WWE is for putting the IC Belt on Edge. The only outcome I can see is it actually setting back Orton. I think they should of let Orton hold on to the belt til Wrestlemania to build up an IC Belt match that people would actually want to see. I personally dont see where this will go for Edge and probably set him back as well. An Edge vs Benoit

Well Ive seen these things come up latly to argue against praying to saints so I figured I would answer them and post them on the blog for other people to use when they need them. I may add more if you guys suggest them to me. Or if you got a question about praying to saints. How can saints hear our prayers? Only God is omnipresent. Saints do not have to be omnipresent like God. Since saints

Well im currently looking for a good Catholic Bible to buy. So far ive got it narrowed down to the Douay-Rheims Bible and the New American Bible. I currently have a KJV bible but it doesnt have the deuterocanon books in it and also Ive heard that its watered down compared to other bibles. Since the KJV bible was created to counter the Catholic Bibles I figured it would be best for me to get

Well my Electricty went off last night and I didnt get to watch RAW. But from the reports it didnt sound like I missed to much. I did hear that it looks they are turning Eugene totally heel and if you ask me that is a horrible idea. He is probably the biggest baby face on RAW. They should have him fued with Orton over the IC title. I think that would work out really good especially with the way

Tonight on RAW Eugene has the GM position for one night only. To make matters more interesting RAW is in Chris Jericho's home town. Personally id like for this to lead into Eugene giving Chris Jericho a title shot vs Benoit. Of course he wouldnt win but hey it would be really exciting and pontentially a really good match. Id have the match end with Triple H and Batista doing a number on Jericho

St. Benjamin, Martyr (Feast Day - March 31) The Christians in Persia had enjoyed twelve years of peace during the reign of Isdegerd, son of Sapor III, when in 420 it was disturbed by the indiscreet zeal of Abdas, a Christian Bishop who burned the Temple of Fire, the great sanctuary of the Persians. King Isdegerd threatened to destroy all the churches of the Christians unless the Bishop would

Well I never thought id say it but I am giving up on CF. I guess its "another chapter in my internet life" unfornatly though with this one it drags into my personal life. There were somethings said yesterday on there that deeply offended me and the way I think Christians to act. Up until yesterday I was proud to associate myself with the Catholic people on that forum. But then someone said

While on my journey to find out some information on the Baptist church and its history I got some links thrown at me from the kind people at CF. Ive never realized how gulliable people are until I started researching thoughts of religion from other religions (theologys, faiths, whatever you want to call it). One of the people sent me a link with TONS of information which is a good thing.. or

After reading a thread on CF that turned from a question about mixed marriages (between different races) to trying to convince my girlfriend that she shouldnt marry me then insulting the Catholic church by saying that we believe that babys that are not baptised go to hell. I think ill take a break from visiting any other forum on CF besides OBOB because I dont think ive ever been more insulted.

Ive noticed that ever since the split of the Protestant Board on ChristianForums.com the Catholic and the Baptist forums have kinda been at odds with each other. From what I can tell it is mostly other people spreading false doctrine about the others respect church. What I can understand is why that someone could have so much hatred toward a church. Ive seen several members spread false beliefs

Well Raw comes on tonight for all you wrestling fans out there and the main event is Eugene vs Triple H (or atleast thats the advertised main event). Anyhow Ive heard on forums and blogs about people complaining about the Eugene character. I myself am a fan of the Eugene character.

Well there is currently a heated discussion about the Catholic Church being sexist because we do not ordain women as priest. I personally am glad that we dont ordain women as priest. It shows that 2000 years have past and we are still united in Gods word. Did Jesus have any diciples that were women? NO so we dont have any priest that are women. The Catholic church by its very nature could never

Yahoo! is trying to take out Googles "G-Mail" before it gets out of the gates and thats a really good thing for us people with 1000 email addresses. Yahoo! has started offering 100MB of space in your yahoo mailbox for FREE. Thats 25 times more than they offered before (4mb). I went over and signed up for an account for the heck of it so I can reserve a name that wasnt ben0149013289138012@

I just got back from Mass. I was rather suprised to find that my Catholic Church was still there as a Protestant on Christian Forums (http://www.christianforums.com) told me that the Catholic Church doesnt exist and that Catholics are actually "confused protestants". Come on people show a little intelligence and respect. I dont go around calling Protestants "confused Catholics". You do your thing

Well I just got back from the Garfield movie. I have to say that I was pretty disappointed in this movie. Its something that the kids would enjoy but after the novelty of Garfield dancing and doing his thing goes away so does the quality of the movie. If your kids want to watch it I would advice watching it or if your just a huge Garfield fan. Otherwise Shrek 2 is still playing ;). I give

Well it appears that death is all around latly. Father Jerry (my pastor) died last week, then Ronald Reagan, and now Ray Charles. Ray Charles is one of my all time favorite singers. My prayers go out to his family. I hear he has a CD coming out in August with duets of him and various other artist. Should be a good buy and sell really well with his passing and all.

But oh well he has tons of fans and supporters so I guess it was just. The funeral was nice. I wont be watching the one tonight that he is having but im sure it will be nice. My prayers go out to his family.
