More than 20 years ago, my sibling was miscarried. Today, as I was thinking about devotion, I had the idea of asking for that sibling's help, and ask to him/her for prays for me and our mother, as he/she's a saint in heavens already. Is it okay? And I apologize if this isn't the right sub-forum to post. ... read more

I can't remember what she had called them. Is a priest the only person who can baptize in the Catholic Faith? A devout Catholic she ... read more

On another thread, PRmerger asked me to provide evidence that God accepted polygamy as a moral practice. This thread will be devoted just to that topic. I'll present two lines of evidence, the first involves God facilitating polygamous relationships and the second explaining that God never punished polygamists for adultery.
