My bad. Here I thought I was doing well with remembering everything. =)
Aquinasfan - How did you come to find out that Christ is your Savior? IOW, how was what you know today about Christ passed on to you?
My father was the first to tell me about it.
And the woman behind me changes the word "Father" to "Creator." I wonder what the Creed would look like (We believe...) if we all deleted portions that we didn't like? Maybe something like the Protestant churches.
I guess that way meant as a snipe, but every denomination does something like that.
Cap'n Crunch - Ah, a Protestant eh? :-)
Well, I call myself non-denominational, what I want is a truley united Christian body, because we will need it, and soon. Is one who isn't Catholic necessarily a Protestant?
cammie - It’s actually a lower-case “c” catholic in the creed. Not Catholic as in Roman Catholic, but catholic as in universal. Of course when the creed was written, all Chrisatians were Catholic...
No arguements from me.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to answer everyone =)
Yes
If I didn’t believe, and try to do, everything that the Catholic Church teaches, I wouldn’t bother going to Mass.
And I guess it’s the same with any organization that one might be involved with. For instance, my time in the Marine Corps. I can imagine the beating I would recieve if I told my Drill Instructor that I was not going to recite the 5th General Order because I ‘didn’t believe in it.’
Until we close the cafeteria we will continue to have the problems we have.
