Why do fundis hate so much? No offense Budge. I have never spoke to you ma'am, but I am in often dialogue with a former prof at trinity (Dr. Jefferson) and I am just surprised at the amount of hurtful language. What exactly are they trying to prove? It is as if they are trying to justify something to themselves.

Hello! It's a symptom of elevating your chosen denomination to God status. Catholics are just as adept at it. EECNS. They are justifying worshiping their denomination. It must really smell of elderberries to be be dealing with Eut and Budge. It's the unflattering mirror, isn't it?

Eutychus,

Do you really want to get into a Catholic vs. non-Catholic architecture comparison? Really?

[catholicinsd]

I like that Tabernacle.

Q. What do extreme fundamentalists and Mormons have in common?

A: They are both anti-Catholic

Given that I have NEVER stated here what my denomination happens to be, and won't, just HOW am I elevating something that is unspoken?

Just wondering.....

My my, that was certainly "charitable" wasn't it?

Fine with me, here is the style of sanctuary that I feel most comfortable with, and NO, this is NOT my church, NOR my denomination, the picture is for illustrative purposes only.

That's not the eye of Horus.

It's the eye of CBS.

I'm not sure which is worse.

Again with symbols having inherent meaning. And I wasn't aware mere architecture mattered to God (from a Pente perspective, at least...)

Actually it doesn't. However we believe in good music, sound, and the best in Audio Visual and comfortable seats { seeing as how our services are generally a little short of two hours, they are appreciated. }

And we see OUR churches as community FIRST, so we normally have a good library, a bang up gym, classrooms galore, bookstore, and the newest trend is an onsite coffee shop for socialization. { Understand that 30 minutes AFTER our service ends, you will find about 30% of the congregation STILL there, greeting, meeting, socializing and getting to know each other...unlike the Indy 500 atmosphere that prevails 30 SECONDS after Mass ends...}

Its wasnt until after the 60's that Church archtictecture becamse repulsive and meaningless.. The Catholic Church has always used archtictecture to glorify God. Now a days we just have a large loss of faith and common sense and many of the people designing churche's dont know a thing about designing churches.

hahahaha that's so Jack Chick. The Vatican doesnt persecute people, they never have.

Budge, Eutychus Catholics arent so bad. The problem is, you all fill your brains with negativity and anti-catholicism. I mean come on, do you see any good in us at all?

Several million DEAD souls will be waiting for you in the afterlife, with personal testimonies quite to the contrary.

[i]{ Sitting here, simply STUNNED at that statement....God forgive that boy, talk about TOTAL brainwashing....}[/i]

You use as a SIG TAG, "Beyond the Alps" so I would expect such a person, to actually KNOW OF the real history of the Alpine Christians...

The VAUDOIS { AKA, the Waldensians } who were systematically hunted down, tortured, persecuted, and harrassed for hundreds of years....for what? Being Christians first, and believing in the bible.

Those are the folks "Beyond the Alps"....and now you know.

[quote]The Waldensians or Vaudois are a Christian denomination believing in poverty and austerity, founded around 1173, promoting true poverty, public preaching and the literal interpretation of the scriptures. Declared heretical, the movement was brutally persecuted by the Roman Catholic church during the 12th and 13th centuries and nearly totally destroyed, but the Waldensian Church survives to this day.

There are two prevailing theories about the identity and origin of the Waldensians. Some Waldenses, and other groups seeking to trace their history through the Waldenses, claim that the Waldenses history extends back to the apostolic church, while the mainstream academic view is that the Waldensians were followers of Peter Waldo (or Valdes or Vaudes).[/quote]

Brainwashing? Several million dead? Where did you get that sum? Besides even if it were that much, it was not at the command of the Vatican.

May God forgive you for calling his Saints pagans, Christ's mother a sinner and his church satanic. You are the brainwashed one here.

1: It is called HISTORY BOOKS, my boy, you ought to give them a try sometime.

Actually your wrong:

Ultramontane

A Catholic who accepts the Pope’s authority in all matters, particularly dogma and doctrine.

The name means “beyond the Alps,” specifically Rome.

Those who lived on the northern side of the Alps were called Cisalpine.

Actually, you have. But given that you pride yourself on being so obscure it only goes further to prove L_D's point that you are only here to demonize Catholics.

Do you guys have the McDonald's at your church too? Nothing like busting out a McMuffin sandwich during church.

I love how many Christians pride themselves on inviting consumerism through the Church doors. Talk about ecumenism!

Also, I thought you guys lambasted the Catholic Church for "aesthetics" during mass. Oh wait, this must be your version of "practical Christianity" -- don't let those comfy chairs and surround sound fool you! Now there is a false gospel for ya.

Although we should feed the hungry, an onsite "food court" is getting a bit too crass commercial.

But St. John Cantius (where an approved Tridentine Latin Mass is offered) does have (or used to have) something informal for a short time after Mass.

Well, you may have a point there, and there are some parishes/young adult Masses that have socialization after Mass, and I have scheduled activities for our young adult group (hockey game outings, motorcycle blessings) to begin with meeting for Mass and have used these events as a way of inviting people to Mass.


But also keep in mind that the primary focus of the Mass is what happens at consecration, not after the ite missa est....

We snack AFTER the service....

.... unlike some during the service.

{ couldn't resist, sorry! }

[PadrePioOfPietrelcino]

I must admit the ONE thing I truely miss about not being a Protestant anymore, is the after service Fellowship. In my former Churches we would have a monthly meal after services, and every week we would have an hour between Sunday School and worship with doughnut, coffee, juice ect. to talk and have good friendships.

[Justified Saint]

Well our food is a lot better and not nearly as greasy! :
