Should the Catholic Church still have a say in political matters, like laws about marriage and education?

 @9HFK76D from South Dakota  answered…1yr1Y

 @9HFJJ3PDemocrat from New York  answered…1yr1Y

No. The Catholic church can have a say in the church. Religion and politics should not intertwine.

 @9HFHLXK from Arkansas  answered…1yr1Y

No, if we want to keep the church and state separate, we should not give them a say.

How do personal convictions play into your decisions about friendship, work, and community involvement?

 @9L628K3 from Georgia  answered…1yr1Y

Catholics have their own beilefs and they deserve to be allowed to follow them

How would embracing principles like 'service to others' change the fabric of society in your view?

 @9KZ7C7FLibertarian  from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

Society would be better if everyone was kinder to each other. Service is kindness, so the world would be better.

 @9KZCS9Z from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

It would increase positive manners, deeds, and overall programs in the United States. Offering services or just simply trying to make someone's day is something we should not have to think about doing. However, if 'service to others' refers to the term of missionaries and spreading Christianity, I personally would not support of that, again personally. One should respect anothers religion and should not be forced to switch from external sources.

 @9KZCPK6Constitution from Maryland  answered…1yr1Y

People should be more willing to help people in need and offer programs to help them.

Do you believe that individuals without any spiritual beliefs can lead a life as fulfilled as those with them?

 @9HT59MM  from Massachusetts  answered…1yr1Y

I feel that individuals without any spiritual beliefs wont live an as fulfilled life as those with them. being spiritually in tune with life sets you goals and paths to take to live greatest life you can. It guides you in your journey of life and experiences and I feel that it creates more meaning to life with spiritual beliefs. If in the end your beliefs turned out to not be true, you still lived a wonderful life and felt spiritual and meaning throughout your life. rather if you aren't, you live for yourself in the world. the likely hood of being lost in life and unmotivated is higher, I believe.

 @9HT5CDY from Utah  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, whatever way that make or will make yourself succesfull in the future.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

In what ways do you believe that practicing kindness can lead to personal growth?

 @9HN35YW from Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

It can make you a better person and you can realize that you have good inside of you, which can lead to more inner growth and realization of the good things you have to offer.

 @9HN5Q62Peace and Freedom from Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

You learn that instead of hating someone and lashing out at them, it's better to let it go than to get in trouble and regret what you did.

 @9HN3DCQ from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

Kindness can help increase happiness and self-esteem and make people feel supportive about themselves.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Do you think it is fair for Catholic beliefs to influence healthcare decisions, such as reproductive rights and end-of-life care?

 @9H52VZQ from Massachusetts  answered…1yr1Y

not at all. in a personal aspect I do believe that people can have their religion their own beliefs but when it comes to the interests of others, relgion shouldn't play a part

 @9H534HZ from Illinois  answered…1yr1Y

 @9H538R9Independence from Arizona  answered…1yr1Y

The Catholic Church, as an institution, has a long history of political involvement, dating back to the Roman Empire when it was officially recognized as a state religion. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Church held significant political power, often rivaling or surpassing that of secular rulers. The Pope, as the head of the Church, was a major political figure, and the Church's teachings and laws had a profound impact on the governance of many European countries.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What does the idea of having a purpose in life mean to you personally?

 @9HN473ZPeace and Freedom from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

It defines you even if it's a small thing it could build up and have a positive or a negative affect.

 @9HN3TK8 from Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

I think it is a very strong idea to have when it comes to a decrease in purpose and mental health in the United States and all around our country. Having a reason to be morally just to others and yourself is good for the interests of humanity as a whole.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Can you imagine a world without any sort of spiritual practices, and how would it differ from today's society?

 @9HN4V69Democrat from Washington  answered…1yr1Y

A world without spiritual practices is a world without faith. Religion helps people find peace.

 @9HN4Q85 from Minnesota  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, people shouldn't be pushing their beliefs onto everyone else, and the get mad when others do the same to them. I think it would make everyone a little nicer

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What are your thoughts on prayer or meditation as methods for finding peace in times of stress?

 @9HN6DRQ from Wisconsin  answered…1yr1Y

Do whatever you want, don't force your beliefs on other people through policy or social pressure though.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How do you think your life choices and beliefs affect the way others perceive or relate to you?

 @9HN4W2T from California  answered…1yr1Y

I think that it affects you because you're putting some sort of judgment into other's minds where they form a type of way where they can perceive you and where they can understand you.

 @9HN4RT5 from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Can you share an experience where helping others led you to a deeper understanding of your own beliefs or values?

An example of this was when I was trying to help someone with problems that they were dealing with, and it made me realize some of the things that I value most.

 @9HN4YT3Independent from Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

I worked with someone who was Muslim and he was just a great guy and told me about his religion.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Would you feel comfortable living in a country where Catholicism dictates every aspect of daily life?

 @9HDPGYY from Kansas  answered…1yr1Y

I do love Catholicism but I feel like it would be hard in a contrary where that is your daily life because i know they have very strict rules

 @9HDNXT3Republicananswered…1yr1Y

Yes, I think It would allow our country to become stronger and more God giving people. After all God Bless America.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Have you ever been inspired by someone else's act of charity or compassion?

 @9HZRMFTConstitution from Idaho  answered…1yr1Y

The publicized charity of others seeking for attention has never inspired me. However, I have always found profound, selfless, acts of service to suffering individuals very inspirational.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How does the idea of a global community influence your actions and interactions with others?

 @9HZQTYR from California  answered…1yr1Y

I believe that all humans should be treated the same regardless of their race, gender, and belief and we should investigate all organizations etc. as long as we had evidence to launch them.

How has the concept of 'forgiveness' shaped your relationships or perhaps even your own sense of self?

 @9KS7WGB from Oregon  answered…1yr1Y

It has shaped my sense of self in the sense of me being more inclined to forgive someone for their wrongdoings and look over, at the cost of no longer interacting with them (if they wronged me anyway) and I think others should follow this belief as well, but to each their own.

 @9KRR8PJ  from Maryland  commented…1yr1Y

As a deaf individual, the concept of forgiveness has played a significant role in shaping my relationships and sense of self. Forgiveness is a powerful tool that has allowed me to navigate challenges and conflicts in my interactions with others, as well as with myself.

In my relationships, forgiveness has been essential in fostering understanding, empathy, and healing. Communication barriers and misunderstandings are common experiences for deaf individuals, and forgiveness has enabled me to overcome these obstacles and maintain meaningful connections with others.

When has forgiveness ever changed the outcome of a difficult situation for you?

 @EnderKilgannon  from Indiana  answered…1yr1Y

I was raised Catholic , I think the morals of Jesus like Thomas Jefferson, are great teaching lessons, I think the dogma surrounding religion in general provides people who believe a scapegoat to be bad humans. Oh I was mean to so and so, or I really laid into my kids and they are black and blue, go to church, confess and you're good to go. Is not a conducive way to keep a high functioning civil society

How do you understand the concept of a greater good, and have you ever acted for it despite personal costs?

 @9J5F9MG from California  answered…1yr1Y

The concept of a greater good isn't everything people say it is since people like to twist it to benefit themselves. To me, the greater good is benefitting a group more than one person or another.

 @9J5CRBP from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

Catholisism isn't a real word. And the Catholic religion should not have any say in government. No religion has any place in government.
