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?

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.

Yep, it really gets their goat. I love it. Last night we were out preaching the gospel to those of a certain religious persuasion. It is exciting 😇🆒😃

Seems to me that one of the original ten commandments said something about keeping holy the sabbath

And Catholics have the MASS, and they have the person, body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ at every DAILY Mass....we shouldn't ever consider it an obligation, we should rejoice at the opportunity and most do.

Humans are, by nature a little weak so the church, as mankinds guide to Christ, pushes us a little and insists that we do things for our own good....Kind of like a LOVING PARENT would.
