You looked perfectly chipper to me every time we met up.[/quote] friday afternoon. i looked chipper? [quote name='dUSt' post='1418648' date='Nov 13 2007, 09:38 AM']I'm so sorry Lil Red. I should have warned you that my ridiculously good looks will often have that effect on humans of the female persuasion.[/quote] yeah, that must've been it.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Was anyone else uncomfortable with how far they bent the liturgy to be multi-cultural and youth oriented? I feel like, had I been a minority or a teen, I would have just felt like they were patronizing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its one of those things they like to stress and promote at their events. Which is why i'm not too crazy about the conference overall... well that and other things. lol But I *do* like it for the positives its has...

They think the youth of this generation want to be catered to, which isn't exactly correct...they want to be a part of something big, and making the whole conference about "celebrating us" just detracts from celebrating God. I don't know...I just thought it could have been a lot better. There was one speaker, though, who mentioned that catechists aren't doing a good job of teaching what we believe about contraception and I'm surprised nobody got up and walked out...good for that speaker. I wanted to thank her, but I had to go before the end of her session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 i thought there was some not good stuff, but it was an opportunity for education when i gathered with my students at the end of the night. plus they really enjoyed the TLM on Sunday.
