Just a fun thread; many people seem to have deep personal attachments to specific masses. Choose as many as you wish.
I love Palm Sunday; this past one is actually what got me attending mass regularly again.
Holy Thursday is beautiful, though.
And coming from a French-Canadian family, I can't help but love Midnight Mass.
I'm sure!!
I love Good Friday...it is riveting and solemn...but peaceful
I'd like it more without liturgical dance.
bless you, bless you!!
I'm so glad you came here!!!
gosh!!! Everyone !! Frag is here!!
by who?It saddens me that it came to this, but I am glad to be able to share my faith without fear of being told to leave the Church.
by who?
I stand convicted, by the rules that I helped to write...that we are in communion with our Church...that we are striving to change our Church...please don't tell me this.
Mostly it was repeated questioning of why someone with my beliefs would remain Catholic. I guess they have a different view of Church history than I do. Doing a paper on the history of Purgatory allowed me to see how much an topic can vary over the years. Often, a core idea or concept is surrounded by details that are discarded by later generations. In this context, it's not surprising that a document could miss the point on many of the details while trying to capture an eternal truth.
It saddens us all that it has come to this, but it was necessary. I was actually screamed at and told that I was EVIL!!!, not just told to leave the church. Those of us that wrestle with dissent, or honest objections, need a place to discuss Catholic faith.It saddens me that it came to this, but I am glad to be able to share my faith without fear of being told to leave the Church.
