How does the Priest tolerate them? If they can make disgusted noises against Church doctrine spoken by their own Priest in the presence of God, they are not acting like Catholics or Christians at all. Who do they think they are? I wouldn’t dream of doing that in my wildest nightmares. These people don’t know how lucky they are. I am still struggling to get in and receive the Sacraments. I consider it an honor and the greatest priveledge of my life to even walk through the doors of the Church and be in the presence of His flesh and blood.
ego and arrogance......that THEY are so much smarter......(read about the seven deadly sins)...their high intellect allows them to dismiss Catholic teaching....trouble is they will stand before Jesus one day and have to explain it all, including each and every time they sat in church and were so dismissive of the priest’s homily.
Welcome to the Church, it is well worth the struggle to get there. God Bless you on your journey.
