not real strong in your faith, were you?
The Mass' environment has nothing to do with my faith.
While in VN, I attended Mass outdoors once while being hit with NVA rockets and artillery.
I found it less offensive than the dirty feckin' hippies the Church used as a ploy to get/keep that generation in the church.

At least the hippies who destroyed the Catholic Church are retiring and moving on.

The younger generation of priests by and large wants to return to those things the hippies destroyed.

Why??? I'm 73, certainly no Hippie, but the more of these young idiots that we welcome into the church, the better...Watch how the democrats do it, they go out of their way to recruit those jokers because they will be in the party for many years
