Yep. Going from latin mass to Benny Hinn tent meetings is tough :o)
You can go to Mass as many times as you want in one day. However you can receive Holy Communion but once a day (except in very, very limited circumstances).
Welcome home.
May your faith in Christ grow stronger every day. He has always been with you.
Thank you for the correction.
The MSM just does not get it. The gall of them to advise the church as to what they should be doing. These people have no shame.
They do it because they fear the RCC. It is one of the few Christian churches whose leadership they cannot influence.
"If it wants to stay one of the major religions in this country, it needs to progress with the times and let women priests in," said Katie McDevitt, 20, a sophomore at Boston College, a Jesuit university. Ms. McDevitt says she attends church relatively regularly, and she recently went to a memorial Mass for John Paul. "It needs not to be so sexist and patriarchal. There is a lot of emphasis on the wrong principles."
Thats right....and tomorrow, and the next day and the next.

So, she's looking at gender as the correct and only emphasis? (Smack head, hit wall....scream).
We tried to get my daughter into the local liberal Catholic school who blackmails parents for spaces. It was like attending a prison camp. The more money you gave, the more time you gave them, the better your chances for a spot. I gave lots of time. Then the head of the Nursery that I worked every Sunday, told me that his son did Preschool there, but he did not make it into Kindergarten. This man had been coordinating and working this nursery for 4 years and yet it wasn't good enough. He left the parish and so did I.
Now we handle it with a great Syllabus from "Our Lady of Divine Grace" and real CCD at a great conservative parish (I can't sing it's praises enough). Who needs Catholic school at the tune of 1800.00 a year when I can do it for 49.99 + the cost of books?
(their uniforms are PJs most days!)
Sorry for the double post!
No need to apologize, I read it twice and agreed with you both times.
How is the term "day" defined, for such purposes? Local midnight to local midnight, typical sleep/wake cycle [excluding all-nighters and naps], or what? I would think the latter definition would be the most logical, excluding deliberate abuse.
According to Jimmy Akins, who is a great one for good solid answers, and from whom I lifted this info, it refers to a 24 hour period.
He talks about it in great detail on this page:
http://www.jimmyakin.org/2005/02/how_many_times_.html
So when the period from local midnight to local midnight is 24 hours, that's a "day". Got it. What happens if the period from local midnight to local midnight is something other than 24 hours?
I suspect it's more your 24 hours. You receive Eucharist at 8 in the morning, then again 12 hours later, then you better wait a full 12 hours your personal time before receiving again, no matter how many time zones you cross! Or that's how I would feel obliged to interpret it for my personal doings.
Your diocese must be in perfect shape if the bishop is focusing on minutiae like this.
