I agree.
And those protestants will fit right into the Catholic church.
** “go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”**
BTTT — Straight from the Bible for all of us.
Easter Vigil.
You have heard of it, haven’t you?
The swim the Tiber — they are baptized, receive their First Communion and are confirmed that evening.
It’s a wonderful Mass to attend. I invite you to attend the one closest to you out there in the east.
Oops,
They swim the Tiber
Yeah, I’ve heard of Easter Vigil.
Never heard of it called Easter Sunday Eve.
It’s very different really. As an example my daughter works two full time jobs so that once a year she can spend a couple of weeks somewhere helping to build houses or do some sort of missionary work. She works those jobs to make sure that all the bills are paid and has to pay for vaccinations, prepare for the trip, buy supplies for the trip etc. Right now she is in Haiti for two weeks. They will be building homes, giving out cloths, teaching etc. She is the type of person the writer of the article would accuse of “getting her tan on the beach”.
Now on the other hand we have those the writer applauds for all the good they do. Those “nuns and priests” you mentioned don’t ever have to worry about the rent, insurance, food, clothes, health costs, transportation, or all the other costs that folks like my daughter do. They have all of their life’s expenses taken care of with not a thought of “will all the bills be paid” before I leave for a couple of weeks. Those “nuns and priests” have probably never had to struggle to “make ends meet” or eaten macaroni and cheese till the next pay check or just to save money so they can make the missionary trip. They have lived off of others work and sweat all their lives with little care for how the bills get paid.
So you see, there really is a big difference between the two groups.
That might be the broadest brush with which Erick Erickson has ever painted.
I’d love to hear Mr. Erickson’s testimony before he mouths off about evangelicals, either individually or as a group.
Proselytizing again!! Hmmmmm.
So true.
And Gov't intervention has screwed even THAT up!
Surely you are not comparing them to the C&E catholics; are you?
Only an invitation.
