You're the one that made it an object.
I attend Mass and worship the Good Lord.
"Practicing the Faith" has a rather clinical connotation, to me.
I agree with Poly and somebody else on this list that the liturgy nuts are not to be trusted.
There's a big difference between "nuts" and "nazis." The Wanderer used "nazis," which is not at all surprising.
I once read an editorial, ten years ago, in which somebody at the Wanderer was still railing at priests who go out in public, and to athletic events, in casual dress.
Well, being out of the collar, as long as he had punched out and wasn't stealing time from the company shouldn't be a problem. ;-)
