CATHOLIC CAUCUS

Catholic ping!

I hated when the altar was turned around. But at least it was the same altar. I really dislike the one that look like folding tables.

I am more concerned about the lack of the faithful attending Mass and the Sacraments. It is only 30% in our parish and less in the diocese.

Do we really love God and our neighbor or just ourselves?

As another denomination has been posted I presume the Caucus thread protection is no longer in play.

If changing the buildings Roman Catholics worship in has caused a decline in Roman Catholicism....that points to a very, very weak faith...if any faith at all.

Having the tabernacle in the center just hushes the congregation. When it’s moved to the side or hidden, the parishioners start treating the church like a meeting hall. It becomes like other denominations.

Love an old fashioned Catholic church that has not been messed with and I search for them wherever I live.

Vatican II certainly had a point that the church should be doing more to meet people where they’re at, instead of asking them to meet the church where it was at, which was often inaccessible.

So the Catholic Church was doing it wrong for 1960 years?

Catholics need to realize that the focus of Vatican II was fundamentally wrong rather than just focusing on the liturgical issues that resulted from it.

Whatever faults the old Mass may have had, one thing it excelled at was prioritization.

So the "Old" Mass had "faults". Bzzt. Another wrong answer.

What do y’all say about building some new, great alters?
