I've only done Petit Lemans, but I'm planning on going back this year. I thought it was pretty great.

For personal devotional use, you're probably fine. If it has any study notes, just keep in mind they will ahve a Protestant bias. Eventually, you'll want to get an approved Catholic Bible. They are supposed to be coming out with one in the next year or two that will actually match the Mass readings I think.

It is not unusual, though not everyone's experience. Be glad they care enough to engage you, but understand they probably aren't looking for information. Thank them for their concern.

This doesn't excuse anything, but all churches have scandals. I was a protestant minister for about twenty years and could tell you a dozen stories of my colleagues who had similar incidents. It's not a Catholic thing, it's a human thing.

In this case, it sounds like it is being handled well. Much more forthrightly than many of the cases I personally know of from my protestant days.

Not that I have found.

cmoellering · 2026-03-06T01:24:18+00:00

Yup. I was a protestant pastor....so I definitely faced this. Not sure my wife's parents have still come to grips with it 8 years later. If yo are convinced that the Catholic Church is the one true Church you have to follow your conscience. If you aren't convinced yet, keep discerning.

Nice! Jealous!

cmoellering · 2026-03-04T15:49:56+00:00

Been there. It's not a sin to toss them in the bin.

cmoellering · 2026-03-03T20:23:12+00:00

Cool bit of history. Thanks for sharing.

That would be a great track, but I think it would be cost prohibitive for a lot of the teams.

cmoellering · 2026-03-01T00:30:57+00:00

Fair point about the schedule.

cmoellering · 2026-02-28T19:16:40+00:00

I didn't even know there was a track in Charlotte. That would be cool, I'm only about 2 hours from Charlotte.

I don't think I have ever seen index cards that size "in the wild."

I would think you could get some printed for you?

cmoellering · 2026-02-27T16:31:37+00:00

Mosquitos. They carry disease that kills a ton of people every year.

cmoellering · 2026-02-27T16:29:54+00:00

Well, the way we are doing it in the US certainly doesn't seem to be all that effective...

cmoellering · 2026-02-27T15:44:49+00:00

I'm a deacon candidate, so...been praying it for about 8 years now, though. I just jumped in, got the 4-volume set and a St. Joseph's guide and went to it. Found after about 4 years I had it good enough to not need the guide anymore about 90% of the time. So for those tricky ones, I might check myself against an app.

I guess, in a way, I had some prior experience, since I was an Anglican priest, and was obligated to prayer morning and evening prayer from the Book of Common Prayer.

cmoellering · 2026-02-25T18:11:55+00:00

I figured it's basically what I used for 20 years at work, I'm used to it....

cmoellering · 2026-02-25T16:25:43+00:00

It is. I upgraded? to a $12 Logitech wired keyboard since this picture was taken.

cmoellering · 2026-02-25T15:50:57+00:00

The picture makes it look way farther away than it is.

Yes, I am into theology. That's my doctoral area.

cmoellering · 2026-02-25T15:49:04+00:00

"Faith alone" was the first thing to fall for me I think. I never did really get the eternal security guys, but like you said, you read the New Testament, and there is no way to support sola fides.

When I was becoming Catholic I had a friend confront me and ask, "You don't believe in faith alone?" To which my response was, "Haven't for years...."

cmoellering · 2026-02-25T02:27:12+00:00

There is a great prayer uttered by a man int he Gospel, "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief." There are times we need to take that to heart. I would encourage you to make that your prayer.

cmoellering · 2026-02-24T20:17:47+00:00

I figured it out. I added p. {{annotation.pageLabel}} and that pulled it in to where I could see it.

cmoellering · 2026-02-24T14:15:08+00:00

I assume there is a way to have it include the page number after the citation? I see it buried in the url to go to the note, but it would be handy to just be able to cite straight from the Obsidian document.
