As a Catholic, I worship God at the sacrifice of the Mass. This is the primary and necessary element of the Christian worship. But I also worship God through the family and friends of Christ. That is Mary and the Communion of Saints, with whom I pray daily, whether or not I make it to Mass daily.

This rich spiritual life of a Catholic appears to irritiate, primarily, the new Protestant communities of faith, who worry that I will somehow take away from Christ by doing so. This is anyway my hypothesis, -- I can conceive of no other reason people would alot so much energy to the devotions they don't understand no matter how patiently we explain them.
