Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Well...chucks...I could wait a couple of hours for you to get here
Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 [quote name='Mrs. Bro. Adam' date='Jun 10 2005, 03:12 PM']Yeah, are you here, hughey? Please excuse my home, MIcah. I've got some work to do when I get home. [right][snapback]608814[/snapback][/right] [/quote] You haven't seen my apartment. Don't worry about it, Teresa.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 [quote name='hugheyforlife' date='Jun 10 2005, 03:18 PM']I can be in a few hours. [right][snapback]608818[/snapback][/right] [/quote] It only took us 16 hours by car...but we've spent under $50 on gas...good mileage...
iggy Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 [quote name='Raphael' date='Jun 10 2005, 01:41 PM']By the way, I should add that it's really cool to be surrounded by faithful Catholics. The Newman Center was an oasis in the midst of paganism...this is a mountain (literally and figuratively) in the midst of a great sea...you can fit more people on a mountain. It's truly humbling to be here. At the Newman Center, I was one of the go-to people for theology answers and stuff...here, I won't be. It's kinda nice that way.

Fides_et_Ratio Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 if you stop by Columbus at some point, let me know. I'm bored.

Brother Adam Posted June 13, 2005 Author Posted June 13, 2005 lol, she is refering to me trying to find her hiding place in the John Paul II library on campus. And now she is gone from FUS. dern. lol
Fides_et_Ratio Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I might come back and visit (one of my friends was gone on NET last year)... but only as long as a F(L)OP isn't going on.

I tried to go to the Eucharistic chapel to pray quietly with Jesus for a while. Did that happen? Ohhh no. There was even a woman walking around directing people - IN the chapel right next to the Tabernacle!!!

Adam you're starting to remind me of myself when I first arrived and was getting over the "shock that is Franciscan". I was leery, but only somewhat, of charismatic things before I went. After Orientation, I was reading "Sacrosanctum Concilium" and the GIRM like they were Scripture ad-ons. And it was all just downhill from there. the main reason I left FUS was because I was becoming too critical, too fast, and too easily. maybe a character flaw on my part, but nonetheless, my criticism was beginning to take over and branch out (hence my confrontations with the associate pastor at my parish). FUS put me in panic mode over the Liturgy and all things related (Eucharistic Adoration, etc.).
Brother Adam Posted June 13, 2005 Author Posted June 13, 2005 Eep. I know. I'm reading Sacrosanctum now as extra non-school related reading. Not so much because mass there bugs me, but some other things. I can sit through a mass at FUS fine, though the EM's are starting to really bug me. I have to finish here though, the acadamia for religious education students is just too good. I'm sitting in Father Dominic's Liturgy class this fall semester, I'll let you know about it.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I wasn't extremely happy with the liturgy at FUS, but I kept in mind that the Charismatic Conference was also in town, so a large part of it was what they were doing in the pews...I'll have to wait for a purely Franciscan liturgy to make a judgment.
Fides_et_Ratio Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah, I'm bummed about academics (and REALLY wanted to take the Liturgy class... lol, we would've been in the same class--not as hidable as the library). I figure, I gained a lot of basic and foundational stuff to keep me going and grounded... and I can always return when I can live off campus (you are SO blessed!) and get my Masters or something there (depending on my financial situation).
Fides_et_Ratio Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Mass depended on the priest. Some priests celebrated beautiful liturgies (despite all the EMs). But usually, when there was a good Mass going on, the person next to me was either: a. muttering gibberish under their breath b. slapping me with their "praise hands" or c. doing their homework.
Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I wasn't too comfortable with the architecture of the chapel (too plain and post-modern) and the "choir" in the front reminded my formerly Methodist friend who's coming with me to FUS way too much of Protestant services. He also expressed that there should be more art. I didn't think the tabernacle was especially exalted, although it could have been worse. I think what I liked least was that the whole chapel felt more like an auditorium than a church. Not that it's the only thing I noticed...the vast majority of my rating of FUS is favorable from what I saw.
