Laziness such as that does not shock me. An illiterate man may not be able to read about Christ, but if well catechized and open to God’s grace, he can certainly be a saint. Mind you, I believe anyone who can read should study the word and study it assiduously (hence, my tag line).
“I am not trying to get you mad. I found it surprising as well.”
That doesn’t get me mad...well, not at YOU. I may be annoyed with those Catholics. I know the same thing happens among Protestants as well. And I find that annoying too.
Actually, the religiously lazy make me sick across the board. If you believe in something it should be a regular part of your life.
We’ve watched our country drift lazily away from it’s foundations because too few were willing to vest themselves in their beliefs.
I mean pro-choice Catholics? Simply absurd on its face.
Babylon’s siren call is simply too much.
