First, regarding the dress up part, I was referring to my sister and brother in law, not to how others dress. I have a big issue with that. What I can’t figure out is, why does it matter to anyone else how my family members choose to spend an hour on Sunday? It’s really no one’s business. My original post was in reference to others who were saying that they wouldn’t be welcome at Mass because they haven’t been married in the Church. True, Christ is always present in our lives if we choose to accept Him into our lives, but spending an hour in Church attending Mass is hardly a waste of time as it was so inelegantly worded.
Now there's a Catholic doctrine I've never heard of before now...And if that's true, why the need for the Eucharist???
