LOL
My sister's boys (ages three and two) nearly came to blows the other day at Mass, during the consecration no less.
NOW IT'S THE BODY OF JESUS....
NO, IT'S THE BLOOD....
NO IT'S THE BODY.....
BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD...
at this point their mother had to intervene, while holding a newborn and stuck the oldest boy in between them. A lady came up to her after Mass and said "There's no doubt as to what's happening when they're here."
I'm still looking in my Bible for how much it's going to cost me to buy myself out of Hell. Can't get an exact number, are there any hidden fees involved? Can I do it on a payment plan?
See, all I keep finding are the prayers we say at mass, or that are in my Liturgy of the Hours, or the readings for daily Mass. Darn it, going to have to keep looking.....
It's actually hidden in the Bible as a Code. If you know Latin you can find them, otherwise, you won't find it. Super Secret Catholic only secrets.
** Can I do it on a payment plan?**
Just use your Visa card. Isn't that an indulgence? LOL!
Oh, no, that's called shopping.
OHHHHHH so that's what the Secret of the Mass really is.....
Got to admit, my Latin's a little rusty, but I know my Roman Numerals, is that going to help?
That's the payment amounts, you will need to brush up to see where to pay and when. LOL.
Darn, I always thought it was in St. Jerome's translation. The Greek, the Greek, the Greek.
And now you are saying it is in the Latin. Back to school for me.
In the black box, right? Isn't that where I pay?
Oh, no, that's confession, but what about the penance.
I am hoping for a big family....can I buy in bulk?
PPPHHTTTTTH!
(how was that?)
Penance is a one time buy, no repeat giving there, LOL.
I don't think this should be a fight over Catholic/Protestant. Perhaps it's time for both to tally their strong points as well as the weaknesses.
I haven't studied long and I see many here who are very knowledgeable so I'm hesitant to insert this. But, if you see someone walking blindfolded toward a cliff would you stop them?
Ezekiel 8:18 - Therefore will I also deal in fury: Mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in Mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
God's word doesn't change so this is still applicable today. What was He furious about, what was an abomination to Him? Are the churches guilty of this abomination today?
Free? HECK no! This is the Calflick Church we talkin' 'bout heah. What he WILL do is give you a discount, but ain' nuthin' free 'roun heah.

I had five children in church at one time. I know the feeling. We always sat right in front of the cry room, and our kids all knew that if we stood up (we would take turns) they were on their way to the cry room for a lecture. Fortunately there was an exit door and a small restroom right in back of the cryroom so that is where they usually got their lecture.
Then sometimes the "Mom" or "Dad" killer looks would take care of it right in church.
There is a lady in our current choir who said she and her husband always sat in back of us. And they got the biggest kick out of our kids.
At the consecration bells:
Is that the doorbell?
Seemed like our kids would always just say nutty things. LOl!
