Catholic Teens

Hey All,

Well William is now a "saint"---having been Baptized this past Saturday. He's as pure before God as he will ever be. The stain of original sin has been removed. He's got a straight shot to heaven at the moment :-)

He actually did really well during the ceremony, hardly uttering even a peep! In fact, the whole day went well, until about 8pm when he decided to seriously "exercise his lungs". Wow. Maybe he'll sing in the choir someday?

A special thanks to the Generation JPII youth group for their generous gift card. We used that to buy the material for William's Baptism gown. His godmother made it from scratch. And we'll be able to use that gown for all of our kids (God-willing!) -And hope you enjoyed the cookies Sunday night!

Question O' The Week:

A follow-up question to last week's:

Is "making out" a sin? (kind of a crazy question sorry) I just have to know'cause I've heard that it is from people, but I just didn't know what tobelieve.

Nope, it's not a crazy question...it's a normal one. It depends on how you define "making out", but generally speaking....yes it is. When two people are "making out" it means they're just doing stuff physically for the pleasure of it...and it usually leads to more and more such things. Those things are reserved for marriage. And to use my earlier example...would you like to think of your future husband "making out" with some other girl? Most people wouldn't.
On the other hand, can married people "make out"? Absolutely.
