In our increasingly autonomous world it is practically deemed to be heresy to suggest that the will of God is expressed in the laws that give order to the life of groups of people.

I joke about "Reason No. 3,742 Why I Left the Episcopal Church," but all the many, many reasons come down to one:
Obedience.
The alternative is what the Episcopalians have. I can't imagine that the most rebellious Catholic really wants that.

This morning, our new associate said Mass. He was ordained in May and gave one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard on obedience based on the gospel today. Basically, you cannot call yourself Catholic and not do as the church teaches. And no one walked out that I saw.

Lord forbid, a parish would have to buy PATENS!!!!
The pastor at my old parish was ticked that someone okayed buying a chalice to replace the glass goblets we used.
And it came with a paten!!!!! For heaven’s sake!

Has returned to recieving communion on the tongue back late this recent past summer via a daily mass done at the home of friends of my Thursday rosary prayer group. The priest who did the mass is the son of one of the group members.
