homeschoolmom Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 [quote name='StThomasMore' post='1040752' date='Aug 10 2006, 02:49 AM'] I detest Protestant hymns. They are so unlike chant (either Gregorian or Eastern), which bugs me, though I worship (not as in worship God, the BVM or saints, but like how one worships their spouse or father) the non-Chant Catholic hymns (oh, and hymns in the "Breaking Bread' hymnal whose lyrics weren't written more tan 50 years ago don't count as Catholic hymns), especially ones about God's Mother, God under the species of bread and wine and the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Protestant hymns usually don't have sound doctrine, not to mention the fact that they are quite obsessive over Jesus. It's not even healthy. Go through a protestant hymnal, and you will find that in almost all of their songs, Jesus is mentioned at least once. You probably won't see the other two Persons mentioned in more than 5% of their hymns. I find that quite annoying. [/quote] no comment.
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I have to admit, I always did find the idea of rapture humorous. I mean, can you imagine being the guy left behind... sitting there eating ice cream with your buddy in the park when all of a sudden... "What the....????"

I really like and miss church pot lucks. [/quote] Organize one. You know 50% of adult converts fall away within the first year? They get so used ot RCIA and then they're received and suddenly they're on their own. There needs to be a weening, but also a continuity that incorporates them in to the parish family. A pot luck might be just the thing, especially if a lot of those converts used to have them at their old churches.

[/quote] I won't agree with everything stated above, but I'm bothered by some of the hymns that have affected Catholic hymns. I hate going to Mass and hearing about bread and wine after the Consecration...there are hymns in the OCP hymnals that say, "Jesus in the bread..."
homeschoolmom Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Actually, we were barely in RCIA-- only a few weeks. And I'm busy teaching in the homeschool co-op I helped organize last year at our parish.
