Sadly, I know a few Catholics who go to mass every week, who also don’t truly believe the gospel is accurate. To them religion is a mind altering experience, not a spirit altering one. In fact, they are the same thing. Thus, anything that brings the mind “peace”, whether real or imagined, is okay.
Strange-very strange for the souls of those who believe in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. For others still very strange.

To the extent you augment or dilute Catholicism, you ain't Catholic, dude.
Actually, I was more offended by “Big SIS” Napalitano’s reading of a bible verse that was completely out of context for any memorial service. Oh wait, I mean pep rally. I’ll be willing to bet she just flipped through a borrowed bible and saw the first thing she thought would sound good.
Then their leaders get worse and worse, becoming antiChrists. Read 1 Kings.
agreed, but what we are witnessing is the great falling away prophesized in the Bible to happen right before the end of time. it didn’t happen in the 1st century, nor the 4th, 9th, 16th, but if what we are witnessing is not the great falling away, i don’t know what it is!!
If you want a laugh-read Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals—I have. Alinsky hated everybody, and one thing that stands out was his utter contempt for minorities—they were indeed, for him “useful idiots”—Rules was for his white Commie acolytes—among other things a primer for them in dealing with/using/exploiting blacks, Latinos, etc-Alinsky’s cynicism and contempt shines through—along with a fair share of truth-he had experience dealing with all kinds of people, and he wasn’t stupid. He was quite perceptive about a lot of things.
In one hilarious story he recounts his calling out some Indian leaders on their bullcrap they try to lay on him. Beautiful.
Wonderful point.
The technology changes. The ability to communicate quickly changes. However, the basic behavior doesn't change. Every time we deviate from God's instructions you can see the mess it creates. What's stunning is we keep doing it.
Interesting article at the link;
Makes sense to me. Words from the Holy Bible were quoted by state officials and read from notebooks, not Bibles.
Doesn’t everyone do this and not even mention the words ‘Holy Bible’? Or the book and verse reference?
But the Doctor is catholic. Let’s make sure to look up what the word means with a small ‘c.’
ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
FWIW, I tuned in late — and tuned out not long after — but I did hear the reading from the Old Testament and the reading of one of the Epistles from the New Testament (I believe it was Corinthians).
NA-HEY-YA-HEY-YA-HEY-YA! ---NA-HEY-YA-HEY-YA-HEY-YA!

I cannot get enough distance between these two statements to reflect their real separation. The first displays the inevitable lunacy to which the Roman Cult leads. The second, the true biblical assessment of the paganism which captures Rome. Thank you, RnMomof7, for your wise words.
I’ve seen one Native American Catholic church. It’s in the shape of the medicine wheel, has all Native American decor, stations of the cross, etc. Hard to tell what they were supposed to be worshiping
