Is There Room in the Catholic Church for Those Who Don’t Believe Islam is a Religion of Peace?

But Jim, you must know that not attending Mass on Sunday without a serious reason is objectively a grave sin. By doing so, you are cutting yourself off from the grace you are hoping to receive in daily Mass. I'd hate to see that happen to you.

After our beloved pastor left our parish, he was for a time (three years) replaced by a very disagreeable priest who allowed silly things in the liturgy. A lot of people left, but those who were faithful stuck it through, offering up the frustration of seeing our beloved parish become more and more undernourished and lukewarm. We now have a holy young priest who is, literally, the answer to our prayers and who has turned the parish back around. This week, he began offering the Tridentine Mass during the week (in addition to the current Latin Mass offered on one of the weekend Masses).

I hope you will go back to Sunday Mass and become a prayer warrior for change. :)
