This forum is intended to be a safe place for non-Catholics AND Catholics to ask questions about Catholicism and Catholic teachings. Here you can read about the faith from faithful, practicing Catholics, ask them your questions, and start to find out exactly what being a Catholic is all about. (Questions and discussions on matters of faith are to be kept respectful and non-inflammatory.)
Last Friday I was travelling with my family in the Dallas metroplex. We stopped to grab something quick to eat. The lady who ran the restaurant told me that chicken wasn't meat and that I could eat it on Fridays. I tried to correct her. She asked me if I was really Catholic because she attends the Cathedral and that is what is taught down there.
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
