Maybe we got it all wrong. Maybe the Catholic Church took us all in the wrong direction. Maybe it was all meant to be a small personal experience shared on an intimate level. Didn't we start with house churches, supper tables and upstairs rooms? How did we get here? What if we went back? What if we were never supposed to be here in the first place? And who's benefiting? I guess if we follow the money as people say, we might find the answer (we would follow the collection plate up the aisle right to that charismatic figure at the front of the church...no not the statue on the cross... the guy with the baccalaureate rob and the white, white smile...in front of the cross).
It's just something to think about.
There are 7 churches in Revelation, and as many reasons why people go to any given church as there are people in church. I love all the churches—the foundation of our love for freedom. I really miss them when I go to the cities, with all those buildings for worshipping man and money. My favorite place to worship is alone on a mountain top watching the sunset (and wondering if I’ll get down in time).
American Catholic Church supports La Raza, ACORN and Notre Dame abortionists. The Pope needs to fire a lot of people.
We may HAVE to go back, if things keep going the way they are. People won’t be able to keep their big institutions going.

Just because I worship with other people doesn’t mean that I also don’t have a small personal experience shared on an intimate level. You need both.
