60% of those polled attend Mass less than weekly. 50% less than monthly. Since weekly Mass is a requirement, this makes them, in varying degrees, CINOs, if even actually Catholic at all. Did they require proof?

Terrifying results, nonetheless.

Hey I'm studying something interesting, heaven. There are a few things we can know about heaven.

Heaven is a tabernacle. Hebrews 8:5

Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

Confirmed in Revelation 21:2-3

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Also, the temple is patterned after the tabernacle of Moses. God's presense dwelt in both the tabernacle and the temple. Our bodys are a temple as well and the Holy Spirit dwells in our bodies.

There are 3 different parts of the tabernacle. The outer courts, the holy place and the holy of holies. Could it be that the Bride of Christ dwells in the holy of holies? As I discussed last week perhaps not all Christians are the bride of Christ. Some of us may dwell in the Holy place or in the outer courts.

Anyway I thought this study was interesting. Also studying the pieces of furnture in the tabernacle, both in the outer courts and holy place, and the 2 pieces inside the holy of holies (ark of covenant and mercy seat) can give us additional symbolism of heaven.
