ROMVLVS F.-United Year of Faith

I bought a Five Fold Scapular from the Rose Scapular Corp. in late April and I need to know how to wash it. I of course had it blessed, so I'm not sure if there's a "respectful" way to wash a sacramental. I know I shouldn't just toss it in the machine because it is a sacramental and the colors probably bleed pretty badly. I can't separate the scapulars without permanently damaging it. I've heard Woolite works, but I wanted to be sure before I did anything. The scapular colors are red, black, sky blue, brown, and white. Thank you.

God bless,

Romulus

Why did we bargain for Bergdahl instead of getting the good soldier trapped in Mexico back? More importantly, why did we give back five detainees (and five very dangerous detainees at that) in exchange for a traitor? The other guy didn't desert his post or his men. And if he did do something wrong, I can think of few things worse than a traitor. Also, why did Dear Leader do this without going to congress first? Isn't this against the law?

Hello.

I have an Orvis Clearwater II fly rod and found either some carp or pike this morning. I really don't want to break my rod because a new fly rod is a fortune these days. Would a steelhead rod work (Orvis Clearwater II as well)? Should I get a different rod? I'm 17, so I don't have much money to spend. Thank you.

I am 17 and work part time. I give my time freely so that I can earn money. But what bothers me is that I have to pay taxes. Why? We need tax money, but shouldn't we decide how it's used (by voting for a certain candidate)? I have no say whatsoever on what happens to my money because I can't vote. I do my best to stay informed (which gets harder and harder due to homework) and Dear Leader doesn't give a ratsass about what I say and seeing as I'm a minor, my congressman wouldn't care either and he's a liberal so he'll squeeze any penny out of us that he can. I want to work, but if I can't have a say on where my money goes, then why pay taxes? It seems like taxation without representation all over again!

I bought a fivefold scapular a couple days ago and need to know what obligations I have to fulfill to receive the graces attached to the scapular. I know that I have to be in a state of grace, but what else do I need to do? Thank you!

Hello!

I have been wondering, why are humans never satisfied? When it's hot outside, we long for winter. But, when it's cold outside (even in December or January) we want it to be summer already. Then, to give another example, when we are young we are always in a hurry to grow up. All our games revolve around the adult world, like playing "House". But, when we are old we want to be young again (midlife crisis). We also always long for more money all the time. While I realize there is a difference between healthy ambition and greed, there is also a fine line between the two.

In the end, my final question is "why are we never satisfied with the current conditions we live in?"

Hello!

I got my wisdom teeth out earlier today (8AM) and I feel a protrusion on the left side of my mouth. It hurts quite a bit and it is annoying as Hell. What is this? Will it go away?

I will not say who it was (for the sake of the user's good name), but why do liberals, the movement all about tolerance and listening to other people send emails like this, and then block their email so that they can thing that they got the last laugh?

"Subject: Know your facts

Message: It is ok to have different political views, but you conservatives please leave this country and go to a conservative country like china or the middle east which has no regulations on business, or banks, has no pollution laws, and has no religious tolerance, oh this is the REPUBLICAN Party, please take your pick up truck and confederate flag and shove it up your ***. Your party is going the way of the whig party.(Extinct)"

I am aware he didn't capitalize "whig". What ever happened to tolerance and hearing other people's viewpoints? Or is that only when the other person is liberal?

I think it's because the liberals know how much damage ObamaCare is doing to the country, so they want to do what they always do. Blame someone else so that they don't have to take the blame. Am I right?

If you look at younger grades (I'm talking like 4th grade and under here), why is there so much emphasis placed on protecting their self esteem? Think about it. If Little Johnny says that 2+2=5, he is right if he can explain his reasoning. People need to have their egos damaged once in a while because it only makes you stronger. Please, explain how this "Common Core" program is supposed to help when all it does is turn kids into egotistical maniacs who feel that they are always right.

Why do Catholic organizations have to provide contraceptives and abortion inducing drugs? Our faith forbids this, so why do we have to do this? All other religions that have problems with health insurance are exempt, why not us? Is it because the Church actually stands up to Obama? I know the liberals will dodge the question, but I'll ask anyway. Why do we have to violate what the Church teaches? It's our right to practice our religion? Or do you only have a right to practice your religion if you're Muslim, Buddhist or another eastern religion?

Liberals, why does my generation have to pay off the tax dollars you guys racked up? We didn't spend any of it. We didn't have a say in how it's spent. Why should we have to pay up? I thought you guys were all about fairness, but that isn't very fair now, is it? I'm 16 and am already smarter than you!

If a pregnant woman is murdered, why is it a double homicide? Also, if a child isn't alive until they are born, would it be murder to kill them an hour before birth? Also, if a fetus has a heartbeat and brainwaves, aren't they alive? If they aren't, then I guess we aren't alive either, are we?

I'm a guy and I have to pay for this? Why? Why should I have to pay for prenatal care? Also, if ObamaCare is going to help me, why has my coverage gone down while my premium and my deductible have both gone up a good amount? Oh, and why do Catholic institutions have to pay for birth control? What ever happened to freedom of religion? Also, don't try and dodge the question by calling me "racist" or a "woman hater".

Yes or no.

I support the Novus Ordo, but the Latin Mass just feels so much more reverent.

So that he can go on incredibly lavish vacations at my expense? Him and the first lady took two separate planes on two separate trips for Godsake! Why the hell should I have to pay for that? I'm 16 and I'm already smarter than you communists!
