after ending the Latin Mass, it was all down hill from there...I’m just not into singing every 30 seconds like an off key version of Glee. It’s some lame way of “being modern”.
I’m not into shaking hands, but it’s better than singing to them.
I don’t need a bunch of guitars, pianos and musical arrangements.
What I need is nourishment for my soul and a message from the Bible given to me by someone educated in the Catholic religion before the communist and homosexuals took over.
A simple ceremony to gather us, profess our faith, ask for God’s forgiveness and thank him for all his gifts. To pray for the sick, injured and less fortunate and then the two readings from the Bible then the Gospel, the homily, profession of faith, give some charity, get communion and out the door.
Confession needs to be in secret like it used to be and as far as selling annulments to the Kennedy’s and hiding homosexual predators... I hope there is a nice corner of hell next to Hitler, Mengele, Stalin, Jack the Ripper for a little party with those hypocritical piles of feces.
I loved being a Catholic. I was a terrible Catholic and fell away. It took almost 30 years and the way was shown for me to find my way back to the Lord. But when I stepped back into the church it was a shock. I knew most of the prayers and ceremony but all the extra crap was just odd. I figured that it wasn’t a Catholic problem it was a “me” problem. So I pray and hope that God finds a way to show me another way that nourishes me and strengthens my faith.
As my father said when we last spoke of the subject, “ the Church is the Church.. men come and go. They have all the failings and flaws of any man. I don’t worship the man, I worship the Lord and my church is the Catholic Church.”
after ending the Latin Mass, it was all down hill from there...Dick, if you tell me where you are, there may be a Latin Mass near you. I think it would feed your soul.
Best,
