‘Communal penance’ is what liberal parishes do that never bother with Confessions. Well, that is what we ran into in the liberal parish where we did RCIA. It is a pale copy of the true sacrament.
We studied Theology of the Body at our parish recently, in some depth. I do not believe I heard anything about ‘sex is the meaning of life.’ yegad, how banal. I believe it is about human sexuality, rightly boundaried by the Christian walk, is it not?
And what’s with the bickering on this thread? Sounds like a bunch of crabby kids ...
