Please note that opinions expressed in the Debate forums may differ from authentic Catholic teaching. These forums are provided for free exchange of ideas and debate; please visit our non-debate forums when searching for orthodox Catholic doctrine. Responses are geared around Church teachings, disciplines and actions, not around secular (i.e., political) values. Challenges are to be addressed in a properly stated question or thesis. All inputs require charitable interaction! Proselytizing is NOT debate!
A forum for challenges to and defense of the Teachings of the Catholic Church.
This forum allows all members to respectfully debate issues pertaining to liturgy and their concerns with it. Discussions on Eastern Catholic rites are welcome here. Reminder from AUP 1.1: Insults, slanderous, libelous and calumnious remarks about the Church, or about Church figures will not be tolerated. All issues are to be posted in a spirit of charity.
This forum allows the debate on the application of the norms of the Church. This does not assume that the view in opposition to the Catholic teaching is an equally valid point of view; however, it allows such views to be explored comparative to the Church’s teaching on that topic.
For ongoing discussion and challenging opinions on Catholic News.
A forum for dialogue among Catholics defending or opposing any issues facing the Church other than those specific to other forums.
Threads that are seriously off-topic, have degenerated into same or are mainly revolving around matters personal to the parties involved. Caution... Opinions not necessarily in line with Catholic teachings.
