Amppax Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 [quote name='Nihil Obstat' timestamp='1307143175' post='2249652'] Nope, and I see no reason to. I regard it in more or less the same way I regard the so-called Charismatic Renewal, by which I mean I don't know a ton about it, but I know enough to realize that I would not like it. Beyond that I realize that it has many supporters, many in the episcopate included, so I will simply let it be up until the point that it affects my life in any way which, God willing, will be never. Like I said, I know it's not for me, so that's all I really need to know at the moment. [/quote] Actually, I think this is fair, if i understand your point. Basically, all you are saying is "you do your thing, i'll do mine?" if that's it then i'm good with that.
ThePenciledOne Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 [quote name='dUSt' timestamp='1307143968' post='2249656'] You are just like my sister-in-law. When she makes spaghetti, she breaks all of the noodles before putting them in the pot so they all fit. I asked her once to just let the noodles sit in the pot without breaking them, because in less than a minute they will absorb moisture and fit into the pot. I begged her. She refused. Not only did she refuse, she told me that she will never make spaghetti without first breaking the noodles because that's how she was taught and she will never do it differently. Likewise, she does not attend church or belong to a denomination. She just believes in Jesus. She refuses to learn about Catholicism, even though her husband (my brother) is Catholic. Her justification? Pretty much, exactly your response. She just knows it's not for her. Stubbornmuch? [/quote] Fantastic Dust.

AudreyGrace Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 I know a bunch of pretty awful Catholics. Does that mean all of Catholicism is awful? I hope not!

dUSt Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 This wasn't at a Life Teen mass, but rather, at my diocese's annual Youth Conference. After mass, since it was in a convention center instead of an actual church, there was no tabernacle for all of the Hosts that were not consumed. Well, whoever was in charge had the bright idea to let all the teens who handed out communion consume all of the remaining Hosts. So the scene was, about 20 teens up on stage, chowing down on a bunch of consecrated Hosts. Talking to eachother while chewing... high fiving their friends who walked by the stage, texting on their phones, etc. Pretty bad. I'm happy we have a new bishop now, but still a little irked that the same diocese youth coordinator is in charge of all things youth related. He's not been a fan of phatmass ever since we wore our "Adoration is endangered" t-shirts at our booth at one of the diocese wide youth events.

BG45 Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 amesome!! I went to one earlier this year with my Catholic Student Association group, and it was amazing!
Teen_Catholic Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 I have never been to Life Teen [i]group[/i] as my parents would never let me near the rock band, happy-go-lucky, do-whatever-feels-okay, croutons. I have been to my church's "teen" [i]Mass[/i] before and, honestly, it feels more like a rock group than a Mass. i have no problem with people singing Christian rock music with high amps, but not during Mass. At the my archdiocese youth convention, I was shocked to see a "nun" habit-less and probably vow-less too, speaking heretical things. I agree with DS; teens don't want this nonsense. It's so empty and meaningless. If youth ministers spent more time teaching Church teaching than singing "God is amesome" type songs, kids would be a lot better off. There are even fun Catholic games. Or maybe I'm just lame. All this coming from a teenage girl of course.
