From most of the Catholics I am around (i.e. family), they do not practice: You Shall Love Your Neighbor As Yourself. There is a lack of empathy.

I'm still in shock/denial about all the Catholics who support Trump/ the current Republican Party...

I'll be 40 in March. I started here in my teens.

J3.5 Je vous salut Marie, pleine de grace, le Seigneur est avec vous, vous etes benie entres toutes les femmes et Jesus, le fruit de vos entrailles est beni. Sainte Marie, Mere de Dieu, priez pour nous pecheurs, maintenant et a l'heure de notre mort. Amen

the memes in here are...yikes.

No, it is not. Communism: Philosophy based on the equitable distribution of wealth among a nation’s citizens and common ownership of all property. In particular, it calls for the control of the means of production, such as manufacturing and agriculture, by the working class, or the proletariat. Its ultimate goal is to achieve a classless society. Socialism: Socialism encompasses a broader spectrum of political beliefs but shares communism’s emphasis on an equitable distribution of wealth among citizens, as well as public ownership of the means of production, though not necessarily all of them. Socialist programs and policies can exist alongside capitalism in a society (i.e. libraries, free public education, Medicare for all), which is less likely in a communist system. Socialists may or may not see a communist system as their end goal. Is Communism a Form of Socialism? While related, socialism and communism are different. Socialism, for instance, seeks to bring equality to the means of production to the working class. Communism takes this a step further and revolutionizes both aspects of production and consumption. In that respect, communism can be viewed as a more extreme version of socialism. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/100214/what-difference-between-communism-and-socialism.asp

I guess we aren't aware of the origins and history of fascism in this thread.

The rumors of my death are grossly exaggerated. Although just to make you all feel ancient, I turned 30 last month. Am I officially no longer a fetus? I miss Lil Red. And Hassan. He is never to know this, but in my weaker moments I even miss Kujo.

Ok.

"By the way...hello from a random European country!" You realize it's random only to us, right? The people who live there don't consider it random, doncha guess? But anyway, enjoy your randomness and yourself!

Don't lie. You chat with me every few months on LinkedIn. Also, I am old and trying to get a PhD in a random European country. Well, working towards it. These applications are awful. By the way...hello from a random European country!

***GASP!!!** ***WHOA!***

*sigh* - I miss Littleles... and Apathy....

Were any of you ever active on Catholic Answers Forum? I used to talk to two people on there that I ended up losing contact with. Their usernames were Starsmurf and Paul Infirdigno. We talked almost every day on CAF. From time to time I still wonder what happened to them and how they're doing and will say a quick prayer for them.

We do keep in touch, yes. :)

At this time, the “Winds of Change” were blowing harshly upon the Carmelites of Philadelphia. There was a divergence of outlook among the Nuns, and shortly before the Philadelphia Carmel joined the St. Joseph’s Association, there occurred what one of the survivors called “The Exodus in the 70s”: a significant number of the Nuns left the Philadelphia Carmel for other Carmels, and some of them left religious life all together. From then on, the Community struggled to maintain an adequate number of Nuns. Carmelites came from other Carmels, for shorter or longer periods of temporary transfers. Unlike Benedictines, Carmelites do not make a vow of stability which binds them to that community for life. However, on making her solemn profession a Carmelite is incardinated into her Community and it is a very special and unusual circumstance which would make her change to another Carmel. A Sister cannot be transferred without her free consent and that of the Chapters of both communities. This is always challenging. Though Discalced Carmelite communities share the same spirituality, each Carmel lives it in its unique spirit and expression. To transfer from the Community where one was formed to another, is like going from one’s birth family to live with cousins one has seldom met. This can be very bewildering, both spiritually and psychologically, both for the Sister who makes the transfer and for the community who receives her. And the close contact with one another which is the result of our enclosed contemplative life makes the challenge even greater. The Philadelphia Carmel experienced this kaleidoscopic shifting of relationships for over 30 years. The Community never attained a measure of peaceful stability, nor did its number of members increase, in spite of nuns coming from various Carmels to keep the Carmel going. By 2012, there were only 5 Sisters in the community, one of whom was mentally impaired and unable to take part in Chapter decision. by Sr. Gabriella of Flemington Carmel
