***All point to emptiness of the rcc faith via lack of holiness and almost without exception no one living for the Lord.***

What was your criteria for “living for the Lord?” Where did you get it? How old were you when you made these observations? How do you know that you were old enough and wise enough to recognize “living for the Lord” if you saw it? Could it be that you might have made some mistakes and misjudged people? Were you a light to the people you came into contact with? Could someone have seen you and thought that you were “living for the Lord?”

Nice points.

Few people realize that Pope Dawgus the One and Onliest gave a perpetual indult to families with small children (where small is "up to 25 years old"): Merely getting everybody clean and out the door at the same time and in time to get to Church before the Mass is over is a sign of heroic virtue.

Also, at least at my house, once we get home from Mass and prepare for Brunch, except for an often lengthy grace, Brunch is all about merriment. How should we NOT be merry? Jesus is risen from the dead and has appeared to Simon!

Usually, before he quit his column, this involved a solemn reading from the Gospel according to Dave Barry.

When the meal is over and we are drinking our coffee or tea, then maybe we will go over the sermon or share thoughts we had on the 3 Scripture readings and the psalm. But, to tell the truth, maybe not. The lure of the couch just long enough for me to stretch out on it may be too strong.
