Question:
- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – While I don’t agree with a good deal of what the Adoremans preach, you might still try EWTN.com . They’ve been around a long while. You’re going to have to decide, in these ‘interesting times’, if Protestantism is ‘good enough’, or if you want to work at finding Catholicism. The trendy corner parish will welcome you with a neo-pagan, neo-Prot amalgam of RCIA, assuming that’s still in effect. They’ll present a bizarre and boring hand-holding ‘celebrationness’ for a liturgy, where you might prefer the intelligent sermon-based service of the Baptist or Evangelical. But if you take the time to find a Latin Mass, even as ‘indult’ as promoted at the http://www.ecclesiadei.org/direct00.htm website, you’ll find the Catholicism I hope you seek. It’s a mistake to stick to ‘episcopally approved’, at this point. But it’s place to start, to which I doubt even the Adoremans would object. If you’d like to see what this kook is talking about
Just you, Tony. Peace. Because, you jackass, it allows us to meditate more fully on the life of Christ.
Response:
Because while the main things are the plain things, there is enough that requires some exegesis that we must still teach what some things mean–especially given the fact that the RCC, even if you hold the teaching magisterium to be infallible, has not dogmatically defined what every single verse of the NT means. Thus, even within the RCC, Catholic scholars often have varying interpretations of some things. That being the case, it’s good–even for a Catholic–to get in a wide variety of views to make their own decision on what some things mean, which the church does give them license to do. 
Say what you want – it has no gravity. Just admit that you were deceiving and "luring" the poster to your web site. Regardless of the fact that you may truly think you’re right, you still used deception as an entre. BAM

Jo, not sure if they will email you the daily readings but I do know the daily readings are posted on their website. Also if you have cable or satellite there is a daily Mass and Rosary on the air at least 3 times a day not to mention and abundance of daily Catholic programming. Check out the link below. Hope this helps! Tony http://www.ewtn.com

This not a catholic site, but if you’re coming back to God after drifting away, I’d recommend it. http://centralcal.com/christ.htm

Be honest, Vince. That website is rife with anti-Catholic horseshit. You claim the Bible to be self-explanatory, written by God so that no man can be deceived, then you go on to explain it. Why not just hand someone a Bible and be on your way? Don’t you trust the Word of God? BAM

Personally, I think "anti-catholic" would be more akin to something hanegraaff or james white would write: i.e. a demonization of the church and its beliefs, rather than an evangelical criticism of them. Depending on how you wanted to use that phrase, a greek orthodox site could be labeled "anti-catholic" even though they’re right with you on the foundational beliefs You claim the Bible to be self-explanatory, written by God so that no man can be deceived, then you go on to explain it.
That’s true in so far as the essentials go–or, it should be! But, as an example, I just got an email by a guy this morning who chides me for saying that Christians are not obligated to keep Mosaic law. If there’s one subject you would think is so obvious that nobody needs to search the Scripture to see what the Christian belief is, that should be it. But no–there are people who really think the Christian church has misunderstood paul’s words for 2000 years and taught a heretical "catholic" repudiation of the Torah. So apparently, there is some need on the part of some folks to understand what the Scripture teaches. Why not just hand someone a Bible and be on your way? Don’t you trust the Word of God? BAM
