Papist Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 [quote name='faithcecelia' timestamp='1307544704' post='2251251'] I have actually, I have been very blessed to know many good priests and to have spent a lot of time in their company discussing the various ways God works in my life and others. I've actually seen a number of priests dance too Yes, I am sure its God, I am certain of that. God fills me with so much joy and happiness, and my dance (which is not leaping round the place!) is an expression of that. [/quote] Well that's [u]nice[/u]. I am glad you are enjoying life there at Saint Happy Church.
HisChildForever Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 [quote name='faithcecelia' timestamp='1307551606' post='2251290'] I believe the Church is big enough to have room for us all. [/quote] Except when the Church disapproves of a particular style of worship during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Jaime Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 [quote name='faithcecelia' timestamp='1307551606' post='2251290'] I can only give myself, I cannot make anyone else do or be or behave in any given way. I was asked a direct question in relation to myself, I cannot answer for anyone else, nor would I ever try. As for the ADHD comment, thats quite rude to those who do have such a condition, to use it lightly like that. You will not get me to go into a debate of one way being right and one being wrong. I actually enjoy a number of styles of worship and feel equally at home in them all. You will never get me to say you do not have the right to like one way of worhip and dislike another. I respect you all enough to respect the way you choose to worship. I believe the Church is big enough to have room for us all. [/quote] I'm not saying "styles of worship" I'm saying that going to mass is not about how I feel. Its about us as a community. It doesn't matter what "I " like it matters what we as a community do together. When you dance while those around you don't, you separate yourself from the community! Your statement about old ladies with rosaries was also rude.

Mr.Cat Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) In hindsight, for most Catholics when its said "the mass has ended go in peace" half the church is running out the door saying "thanks be to god!" Where are these Catholics that want to make the mass longer? In fact there are some who skip out before this, those who honor the Judas Mass Tradition. Edited June 8, 2011 by Mr.CatholicCat

I enjoyed the simplicity, efficiency, and speed of the mass. It seems to me that most Catholics would enjoy a shorter mass, so I want to know where these Catholics are that want to make it longer with liturgical dancers? And not rude, besides does every post on phatmass have to be painfully ontopic? No. No one here is. It is what I like about phatmass, the flexibility of discussion. But my comments were on topic.

There are enough masses that we can all worship in the way God inspires us to, its just so sad that people spend so much time worrying about the bits they don't like. [/quote] Agreed ... +1

That sort of takes the focus off of what is being done ... and I was just at a Mass where a priest spoke against this practice.

I had a priest talk about this once too, saying how much debate still raged about Vatican II in the Church today, but that he had way less people praying the Rosary now in the Mass than he did before the Council. He always felt that it was rude not just to Him, but to the holy sacrifice itself as attention wasn't being given.
Vincent Vega Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 See, I'm not sure that I agree with that. I think it would be possible to both fully participate in the Mass and pray the rosary at the same time, particularly if one is meditating on the sorrowful mysteries.

vee Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Question 269 of the Baltimore Catechism asks, "How should we assist at Mass?" Answer[b]: [/b]We should assist at Mass with great interior recollection and piety and with every outward mark of respect and devotion. Question 270 of the Baltimore Catechism asks, "Which is the best manner of hearing Mass?" Answer:[b] [/b]The best manner of hearing Mass is to offer it to God with the priest for the same purpose for which it is said, to meditate on Christ's sufferings and death, and to go to Holy Communion.
