Do you think that Jesus made people to jump through the hoops to know Him? It's the biggest invitation someone will ever get and all that it requires is an answer from the heart.

Last year we processed into a darkened church with candles after the blessing outside. In years past we sat in the darkened church and passed the flame from candle to candle.

Post anything you like about the Catholic Church. Trust ultima for a slam. Other Protestants are not so reliable.

Rash judgment is a sin. Back off.

"He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me" (St. Luke x.16).

In my experience, people know Jesus before they become Catholic.

We're counting heads here, not judging people's sanctity.

It's not up to you or I to judge anyone's sanctity. There's one Judge and He'll have His say soon enough.

What's your gripe? I said it was a matter of counting heads. How is that judging anybody?
