Passover Regulations - Communion Regulations

In Exodus 12:43-51 it details the requirements to participate in the Passover. Basically, the males just needed to be circumcised.
I think this could possibly be used to show why only Catholics can receive Communion and our requirements for it.

Found a great article on Contraceptives

It's really long and it gets boring at times, but it makes tons of good points.
I would recommend at least skimming through it. If someone reads this I think they would have a great possibility of accepting this teaching of the Church as long as they have an open heart.

I found this article interesting and thought-provoking. It's about Catholics going door to door evangelizing.

Mary, Our Spiritual Mother

Jesus says that those who follow him are his brothers and sisters. Thus, if Jesus is our brother, then Mary is our mother and of course we have God the Father. Additionally, the fourth commandment says to honor your father and mother. Since, Mary is our mother, we should honor her.

that's all i have for now, I may write more later
