Hey, but they're good. Just a few trips around the rosary and a few more extra years in purgatory, and they're all good.

I heard a rumor, for each thousand posts on these threads, that someone gets a thousand years off their purgatory sentence. Do you hear that too?

I've actually heard Catholic joking about sinning and doing extra penance so they'll be OK. I'm sure you have too

Not only have I heard it, I practiced it. I was a reprobate in my younger years when I was a catholic. I enjoyed sinning at that time. Now that I have regenerated, I can not possibly enjoy sin the way I did when I was a catholic. Of course you know some of the things I can now get away with. I do not go to mass, and I get away with it. I do not confess to a priest, and I get away with it. I do not use holy water. I do not pray the rosary. I do not pray to the holy saints. I do not make the sign of the cross. I do not accept the sacraments. I believe Mary was blessed among women, then after Jesus was born, she gave birth to a bunch of kids. All these things I get away with. Can you think of anything else that I now get away with, that I couldn't get away with before? 😄😇🆒

It wouldn't surprise me what with the way some RC's spam the RF with Catholic threads and then spam their own Catholic threads with repetitive spam posts, posting and reposting the same thing every day so that they look like they're getting lots of replies when they're not.

All immature children think that they can get away with things. I'm a corrections officer, a youth services officer in a Maximum security juvenile correctional facility and it is amazing what they think that they can get away with.....but there's ALWAYS someone watching and we get away with virtually nothing....You may swipe the cookie from the cookie jar, but mom knows that it is gone and the consequences could be severe....NO COOKIES FOR TWO WEEKS....but go ahead, try your luck....not me!!

Hmmm......

I think you have it about covered.

You know what one eats at them the most? It's the *Don't have to go to church* one.
