Also, at EVERY Mass, we say the Nicene Creed or at Latin Mass The Apostle Creed......have you EVER read those??? They are AFFIRMING EVERYTHING you think we don’t. You should read those.
I was brought up Episcopalian. Of course I’ve read those. Written words don’t affirm it for everyone. Not everyone who repeats those is sincere or even Christian. It’s your HEART, Ann. God KNOWS the heart of every Catholic, every person who professes Christ. We can’t fool Him. You can repeat words until the cows come home but God knows what’s in that person’s heart.
