			<description><![CDATA[ In the Sunday paper I came across an article that raised a question that I haven&#39;t really explored before.
<br>
<br>
Catholics believe that through the miraculous process of transubstantiation they really do eat Jesus and drink his blood.  Cannibalism.
<br>
<br>
Evidently this is an act to encourage remembrance.  It struck me as a particularly gory thing to do.  Even if it was a symbolic gesture (which is definitely

			<description><![CDATA[ <div>
  Hi Tony,
  <br>
  <em><br></em>&gt; The Jesus of Mark is a far cry from the Jesus of John and the Jesus of Paul is another entity all together.
  <br>
  <br>
  Of course they are different. Mark and John were written 35 years apart, their emphasis was different. Paul was not writing a gospel, but letters answering
  specific questions or addressing specific problems. Each of the Synoptic Gospels were written for specific communities with different cultural dynamics. For
  example,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The ability to consistently choose correctly between any two alternatives (including good and evil) depends on:-
<br>

<ol>
  <li>a knowledge of what good and evil are,</li>

  <li>a desire and talent to choose good over evil,</li>

  <li>sufficient will power to execute that choice.</li>
</ol>These attributes are, in Christian terminology, gifts from God.  We have no say in them.

When a person sins he chooses evil over good, indicating that at least one of these gifts is missing.... ]]></description>

ivf +icsi where they inject one sperm in each egg.  We have done 2 cycles and each time only got 6 eggs that produced 4 embryos.  By day 2, 2 of our 4 embryos
died or were dying so we put the other 2 back in.  First cycle resulted in 1 of the 2 embryos taken unfortunately it died in the 7th or 8th week.  I am in the

			<description><![CDATA[ Our human nature came from God as part of His creation of mankind.
<br>
From a psychological point of view Maslow has explained the hierarchy of needs in the human person. The most basic needs must be met before a person will move
on to searching for a higher level need. Breathing is one of the most basic needs that is required to be met. After one has the ability to breathe, one can
search for food and water. If one is able to obtain nourishment they can sleep. Once they have met that... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ According to Christian tradition man has been created in God&#39;s image. 
<br>
<br>
I recall a minister lecturing to us at school about this.  He said we shouldn&#39;t take it to be literally true - we don&#39;t physically look like him. 
Which was sort of obvious to me at the time but got me wondering - in what way are we images of God?
<br>
<br>
The Catholic catechism says that God is...

Why would an omnipotent creator create sex? Moreover, why would it create sex, then create sexual desire, then make rules about it that were impossible for
some of its creation to follow?
