Greetings all! (You have to roll the r, otherwise it doesn't sound right.) We had an extremely enjoyable Areopagus at the Rens', to whom we extend our thanks for their hospitable hosting of us. Several extremely intriguing questions were asked, such as:
  • Are altar girls okay?
  • Is not voting immoral?
  • How does one discern the greatest defect in one's soul?
  • What's up with the St. Cyril's Catholic clown movement?
  • Is it okay to write your sins for confession on a piece of paper?
  • Is secession moral?
  • Is teasing sinful?
  • Why do they give nuns their names as soon as they enter the convent?
  • Is Obama the Anti-Christ?
  • How do you know if you really love God?
  • What do you think of the game Mafia?
   I'll be sending out the next Areopagus location soon, so stay glued to your computers.

 Greetings all! We had a great Areopagus at the Kostiuks, many thanks to them for hosting us. Among the questions asked were such fascinating topics :

  • If you don't know whether or not you are in mortal sin, is it permissible to go to communion?
  • Were the Crusades a good or bad thing?
  • Should high heels in stone churches be outlawed?
  • If someone repents for a mortal sin, but die before they get to confession, can they be saved?
  • When should people have a spiritual director?
  • If a religious breaks their vows, are they excommunicated, or can they just go to confession?
  • Does they name of Philadelphia have anything to with the Greek for brotherly love?
  • Do Rosaries have to be blessed after they touch the ground?
  • Are their times when lying is justified?
Vote for your favorite question in the comments section! Our next Areopagus will be at the Rens on the 16th
of November. See you all there!
