How about “burying doctrine” or “making doctrine optional” or “Not changing doctrine in theory, Oh No! Merely in practice”?
The question is about the author saying the catholic church should learn from the Protestants in making church fun
If you don’t think that’s silly then please just tell us where in th gospel Jesus says we should make church fun.
We have the Eucharist. The Protestants reject that The Protestants reject th Catholic Church. Where are catholic evangelists? Why are Catholics not bringing people to tge Eucharist instead of leading Catholics to Protestantism
We have tge Eucharist
Catholic evangelism centers on that not on making church more Protestant.
It’s silly. It’s the definition of silly
If doctrine is irrelevant, I think it got that way a long time ago, in many cases.
That’s what’s so maddening and saddening.
We don’t need the Pope, or the Catholic Church. We have Jesus Christ and His Word! He never lies, or changes doctrine, or changes His position....
In a way it is, but in another way, it’s just the same old thing. The Golden Age when everyone understood and followed doctrine didn’t exist. There were times when the culture was more supportive of a Christian lifestyle, but that’s a different issue from real understanding and conscious living out of Christian belief.
“We have the Eucharist”
“We have tge Eucharist”
You have idols, many of them might I add.
As born again Christians we have Jesus Christ living within us thus no need to pretend to consume him. You try to add him through food we added him through God the Father.
John 4:24Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
24 God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.
Everyone needs the Church. The Church is the Body of Christ.
Tagline.
The Church is those who follow Jesus and His Word.
Right. Exactly my point as to why we Catholics must stop running around trying to please and imitate Protestants.
We have the true presence of Jesus that He gave us. Protestants reject that. Why would we ever need to try to learn from them. We have fun outside of work ( which is intended to be joyful as opposed to fun) and outside of Mass also joyful. It is for worshipping Jesus and The Father and Holy Spirit.
A lot of silliness pretending the Protestants need to be catered to or followed. They certainly don’t do the same in return. Doesn’t make them correct, which they are not
Btw. Catholic liturgical music is by far the best and oldest most well established. Catholics reject that as well, pretending that mass is for entertainment, making the alter into a stage.
Thank you.
By your reply I can tell that you have nothing Scriptural to reply with, but what it really tells me is that you are not closer to Jesus than Satan. Your false religion has you reaching for demons, stop and I pray that you find Jesus Christ as you personal Savior.
I, too, really like and support the youth ministry at Church. I’m Catholic, and our church’s youth group goes up and down with changes in personnel, but right now it is up again. I think one crucial thing about teen activities at Church is that they let people meet, date and marry people of their same faith, in a setting that honors Christian marriage and community life. I have met many couples who have met at bars, and many who have met at Church activities. The latter have a more consistent track record of living a faithful, stable, Christian life. I want that for the teens of my parish.
There is so much secular influence on our teens so why not make it easier to meet with other Christians? If more had an opportunity like that, just maybe there would be less criminal activity. There are less chances when teens are at church on Wednesday nights, Sunday mornings and nights. I am not sure if we still have the practice of the youth being accountable to the others or not but that was a great program and it worked.
Well you may as well keep praying. But if you think Catholicism, which was by all respected accounts, was founded by satan, we have no conversation

By way of analogy, had Benedict packed a synod with traditionalist bishops the secular press would forever hold that the synod was compromised or even invalid with serious consequences for the faithful.
The path Francis chose, which I do not think was calculated or intentional, closes the discussion on this matter. Already, the secular press had moved on, bored or disinterested, looking for someone else to devour.
The Holy Spirit carried the day.
We will just overlook the Marian dogmas in that case.
Nothing but “excuses, excuses” for Francis’ actions, huh?
