Is it disrespectful to take pictures inside a Catholic church?
10/08/2008  13:03:04

I am not a Catholic but I love the art inside their Churches.
A lot of these stuff can't be found in museums.


I work for my diocesan newspaper, and I take photos in churches all the time at the bishop's request, even during Mass or other rites.

As you are not working for the bishop, it would be best if you call the parish ahead of time and ask when it would be all right for you to stop in and take some photographs. If you want photos of the windows, you'll need a tripod (believe me, it's the only way), and that sort of thing is a real nusiance to people who are in the church for a prayer service (Rosary) or Mass or Holy Hour or whatever.

You might consider offering digital copies of the photos you take for the church to use in bulletins or whatever, in return for a chance to take the photos.

Is there an adoption agency inside the Catholic Church? Can you give a baby to the Catholic Church?

I've heard of it, but don't know if it's true. People in my history class were debating on abortion, and a girl spoke up and said, "I mean, there's no reason for abortion, the Catholic Church will take any and all babies, they have over 2 million handicap babies and won't refuse any."

So, I mean, is there some type of adoption agency in the Catholic Church? If so, could somebody direct me to some online information about it, I would like to do some research on it.


There may or may not be other adoption service organizations sponsored by the Catholic Church, but where I live, it's all handled by Catholic Social Services, which has a license as an adoption agency.

Can i get married inside a catholic church if i'm not using catholic vows?

i'm considering becoming episcopal but i'd still like to get married in the church i grew up in, because it was very influential in my beliefs today and is a very special place to me. i just want to know if i can still get married there if we're not using catholic vows.


Well, as another person said, there are no 'Catholic vows'. The essential 'core' of marital vows ('till death do us part, etc.') are fairly universal. The Catholic Church does have a particular formulation of the vows which is typically used in the ceremony, but it's not ironclad and can be adjusted (my wife and I chose a different wording), so long as it contains the essential 'core'.

There are larger questions, though. A Catholic parish is not a Las Vegas chapel, and the parish will only allow you to marry there if you (as a Catholic) agree to marry 'in the Church'. That is, according to the Church's regulations. That means marrying a Catholic, or else at least agreeing to raise your children Catholic, and usually agreeing to undertake pre-marital counseling to ensure you understand what marriage really means (usually takes about 6 months). Given your explanation, it doesn't seem as though you are terribly committed to the Catholic faith, so it's not likely you'll be willing to undertake these commitments. (Although I'll note that many non-Catholics have gone through the Catholic pre-matital counseling and found it immensely helpful. It's not at all a bad idea to make sure young people understand what marriage means before they enter it.) If you want to know for sure, contact the parish; they probably get several requests every month and will have a contact person - usually he/she is mentioned on the front page of the bulletin.

No. You must use one of two church-approved vows. Writing your own is not allowed for anyone.

(and thank God too. I was dreading the possibility that my fiancee would want us to write our own vows till I found out, not that I have a fiancee, but I plan to one day)

Sussana - it makes perfect sense to do this. People sneak loopholes into their vows all the time. The Catholic Church has very strict rules on divorce and remarriage (it don't happen, period), and these rules are enforced in the vows made. If people could write their own, they could use legalese to get out of just about any marital obligation.

As well, you can have a Catholic-approved marriage in a non-Catholic church where you can write your own vows.

    , The liberal media internationally have been doing everything in their power to pin something -- anything -- on Pope Benedict XVI. A series of "try ons" has been mounted, with the help of internal Church documents such as old memoranda, to advance the unlikely thesis that, as archbishop of Munich and Freising, or later as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the former Joseph Ratzinger knowingly participated in a cover-up of some child-molesting priest or priests, and then acted in a way to put other children at risk. There is not space in this column to go into the fine details of either the case of Rev. Peter Hullermann in Germany or of Rev. Lawrence Murphy of Wisconsin, let alone the numerous supplementary "me too" stories about people alleging that "the pope knew everything" in various local media, travelling the world in the age of Internet. Suffice to say, a Catholic or any man of goodwill, with minimal search skills, will soon find sufficient information to rebut these charges. They rest on speculation as flimsy as the fact Ratzinger was copied on a memo that he obviously never read (in the German case), or on nothing at all (in the American). Those with some elementary knowledge of how the Catholic Church works will quickly grasp the staggering misrepresentations in published reports. The sleaziest of media pundits -- for example, Christopher Hitchens and Maureen Dowd -- have gone to town with widely circulated diatribes in which malignant speculation is mounted on malignant speculation, and Benedict's guilt is entirely assumed. But even the more responsible reports, which confute themselves by adding a little context in the final paragraphs, have sailed under headlines and ledes designed to convince the half-attentive general reader that "there is smoke, so surely there is fire." in particular with the materials now linked -- a careful examination of which actually shows that, first, Ratzinger was at no point directly involved in the Father Murphy case; and second, his office handled the matter responsibly and correctly from the point of view of either canon or criminal law, and made not the slightest effort to hush up anything? The most likely answer is: enemies of the pope and of the orthodoxy he articulates, within the Church herself. We may hope; but as someone who works in the news and entertainment "media" (the two functions have long ceased to be distinguishable), I think we can wait until after we are dead. For the media are not in the habit of turning the lens of scandal upon themselves, and they have the last word when it comes even to reporting what their victims said in defending themselves.

    Muslims arrested for Trying to Pray in Córdoba#39;s Former Great ...

    Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini

    "Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those people are witless. Islam says: 'Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all!' Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by the infidel? Islam says: 'Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter them.' Islam says: 'Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword.' The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim."

    Sir Winston Churchill

    "Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
