Thanks for all the answers! A spiritual communion sounds interesting, can someone tell me more about that? Is it similar to listening to mass on radio? I often...
Mik, I agree that you may want to check with a priest as to whether 65 mile drive constitutes a real hardship. If you are not obliged to travel to mass each...
If we were to allow gays to marry, it would encourage monogamous relationships and the rate of HIV infection would dramatically decrease. ... Reader ... taking...
Just my two cents worth. Take it or leave it. It doesn't seem to me that 65 miles is too much of a hardship. It is certainly inconvenient, but I put 200 miles...
Evidence? My limited contact with homosexual men argues differently. I even knew one young man who, despite being "married" and in a "committed relationship"...

I live about 80 miles from Mother Seton's Basilica. There are times I want to go there for Mass on Sunday and I get up early and drive to Emmitsburg. Of...
Certainly you could be a good Catholic even if you couldn't go to mass every Sunday. God is not going to make you drive clear across the country to go to mass...
Your predicament goes to show that it is about time the Church of Sweden reunite with the Mother Church in Rome. Then you could just go to your local Church...
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to go to a Baptist church occasionally in that situation. Preferably a big one where they won't surround you after worship and try...

He doesn't have to check with the priest. He just has to use his common sense. Does he have a good car? How is the weather? Is there a blizzard out there?...

Richard, Nice dodge. You didn't answer my question. Where is the evidence that legalizing gay marriage will remedy any of the many self-destructive behaviors...
