no it isn't and it is only found outside the Catholic curch...you are assuming that the T.V evangalists, who give their verson of reality aree somehow overly pleasing to God.....Maybe they are and maybe they are not, but He is FAR MORE impressed by the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass because He said so...

It CAN be found inside some Roman Catholic Churches and outside them as well! I said nothing about "TV Evangelists" but it seems that's the only thing you can bring up instead of what I actually said, which was:

My Mom, a Roman Catholic, tells me her priest usually gives a five or ten minute homily (really a sermonette). I'd much rather sit under a pastor who devoted his life to teaching and leading his flock as God leads him. Pastors who DON'T preach "hell and brimstone" and who tell them "they are going to hell if they don’t change their ways", but preach the grace of God which saves us through faith. THAT is the kind of worship and fellowship God wants for ALL His children and it IS found outside of the Roman Catholic Church. I know, because that's why I left.

Ponder these verses to see how pleased God is with "sacrifices":

Samuel said, "Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. (I Samuel 15:22)

To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. (Mark 12:33)

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire-- but my ears you have opened -- burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. (Psalm 40:6)

I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hooves. (Pslam 69:30,31)
