I know, I'll tell you how I know. I was raised catholic and stood amongst throngs of glassy eyed “faithful listeners” checking their watches and commending the priest for finishing the redundant ceremony in under an hour. It's like a weekly union meeting - as long as you show up you're in. Keep it. Forfeit your chance for a deeper, meaningful, heartfelt, spontaneous relationship with Christ and cling to the comfort in the picked-over readings; scripted, empty, required responses and toss in some Latin now and then for a flavor of authenticity. I'll get by praying from my heart and opening my eyes to the majesty of His creation that is already here. “Lord hear our prayer.”

The way YOU are writing here, it SEEMS like you don’t value the Word of God. I hope we’re wrong. Truly.
