So while we Christians can worship and pray together the mass is much more than that to Catholics. We see Leaving as much more than finding some place else to worship.


Btw I posted a quote from CC of the church on self defense. I bring that to any talk with a priest or bishop. That said but if you go to a small church and the priest is indifferent he wouldn't file charges anyway. It would be the fist time a priest ignored a buroctstic rule from the diocese

Tracker I'm afraid you misinterpreted the meaning of my post . I am not being defensive at all . Not a problem .

that's what I get for typing from a phone auto check "comparative religion" not "competitive...."

I respect others beliefs, Chuck. I don't see the point in debating which religion is correct. For example, I once sat down with a couple of friends. One was cradle Baptist (not the deacon friend) and the other a cradle Catholic who late in life converted to the Baptist religion. They asked me a question and I mention human evolution. The CB asked: "Now, _____, do you believe the anthropologist or do you believe in the bible?" I didn't answer and dropped it because he wanted to debate. The question assumes that Catholics and Fundamentalists have a common belief about the Bible and that a dichotomy must exist between science and the Bible... I must make a choice must be made. That isn't true for Catholics. For us there is no dichotomy

Well, at a later time I was sitting with my ex-catholic friend for coffee and he brought it up again. I didn't let it pass this time because he should've known better. I said: "Look, I'll give, C, a pass because he's been raise Baptist and doesn't understand these core belief differences but you having been a Catholic for most of your life you should know better. The reality was, even though he'd been Catholic for 50 years(?), he didn't know the Catholic church's theological teachings. That stuff doesn't get taught in the homily. It's supposed to be taught in religious ed but think the teachers are doing a very good job of it. Most Catholic don't even know the Church owns and operates an astronomical observatory at the Vatican and one in Arizona http://www.vaticanobservatory.va/conten ... na/en.html.

If the Fort Worth diocese takes a similar stance as Dallas, I may get some LTC friends and have a talk with our priest.

Wait, did I miss something?
Did the wording of the 30.06 notice change?
If so, does that make the old signs invalid?
