After looking at the pictures of the beautiful church, and it is beautiful, something ocurred to me...

If a large group of Catholics became stranded on an island, or were forced into the ‘wilderness’ somehow, how would you be able to worship???

Would your religion fall apart until you were able to build a church and collect all of it’s aids to worship???

Of course Catholics would be able to worship.

But what does this have to do with the church pictured in 1380?

We'd put one rock on top of another, call it an idol of Mary and sacrifice oysters to it.

If I were in the group, I'd urge that we meet at set times during the day for prayer and "Spiritual communion". If we had a Bible, we'd be golden! If not, I'd try to id the people who had the most extensive Bible knowledge and get them to give little presentations. I'd organize a daily Rosary. (The normal complement of fingers is all you need for a rosary)

Spiritual communion is an internal "act" involving an act of faith to Christ and a prayer that he come into our hearts and unite us with Him and, in Him, with one another.

No our religion would not fall apart. Not even close. Some of the weak might have a tough time, but that's always true.
