When I attend my mother-in-law's church, we hear service performed in Italian and sometimes Latin.

I bet you speak english oh what the heck.

That post of mine makes no sense does it?

I'll probably be the 100th person telling you this but ARAB CATHOLICS DO EXIST! Our Lady of Lebanon (Maronite) and Saint Jude (Melkite - My parish at the time) in Miami were two Churches with Arab masses. The pastor at St. Jude was even a Palestinean.

I was just teasing you:)

It's Easter and I'm working. Plus, this morning I went to Mass and it was in Arabic.

Maybe she's a once a year Catholic and went to the wrong place.

The following article was posted to the forum but is far more powerful in its original format and well worth the read.

The community of Arab Christians is dwindling in the Holy Land

Also, take a few minutes to visit the following slideshows. These Arab Christians talk about their love for their homeland, the plight of being christian in a predominantly Muslim country and their strong faith.

Wow. Too bad for you huh, that you couldn't whip FR into an anti-"Ay-rab" frenzy eh? You sure done tried though, with all the bile you posted.

Hint: Next time you want to try and whip up Christians on Easter Sunday, don't admit to being a barfly on Easter. Really spoils any credibility you might have.

OK, this is San Francisco (St Thomas More Church for those who know about it...), but if there is ONE day of the year where the Mass should be in English or Latin, it's today.

Yee haw! Yeah, them Ay-Rabs oughta speak Ammurican in Church just like the rest of the world.

Oy vey!
