nikkan_hanil Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Family time? Scripture reading? Soups and breads? I was about to say that that sounded like a good idea until I got to the whole "substitution for the mass thing". Nothing (when I say that I mean nothing...) can replace the sincerity and legitimacy of the traditional Catholic mass, especially with mass being the higest form of worship. Sure intimate family Bible time and candlelit dinners sound nice, but that's no different than eating breadsticks with scriptures at Olive Garden. :crazy:
Dave Posted February 17, 2004 Author Posted February 17, 2004 Now I'm reminded of something . . . I've heard of "Catholic" dissenters claiming that a regular meal is a form of Eucharist!
Dave Posted February 17, 2004 Author Posted February 17, 2004 Dave, another urban legend?! I wish! Sometimes I visit dissenting "Catholic" Web sites so that I know what they're saying and how to refute it. Ingrid Shafer, who heads the group Association for the Rights of Catholics in the Church, had posted an article about her visit with dissenting priest Fr. Bernard Haering shortly before his death. And they had dinner together and talked. In the process, she thought to herself, "This is a form of Eucharist." Yeah, right!
nikkan_hanil Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 So you meant to tell me there are phony Catholic web sites out there as well? That's scary... :huh:
Dave Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 So you meant to tell me there are phony Catholic web sites out there as well? That's scary... Unfortunately, yes. Heck, the mother of all "Catholic" dissenting organizations, "Call to Action," has a site!
God Conquers Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 oh dear.... Guys, Montreal is messed up. Priests and brothers get attacked on the streets and abused verbally. It's a bad scene. I love Montreal, but it can be a very evil city. The situation of the Church in Quebec is super sad. We're trying to fix it and we're praying for it. The bew Cardinal is amesome, but to tell you the truth, the story is kind of nice. I think these kids are actually interested in their faith and misguided, trying to offer solutions, rather than trying to undermine authority. Like I said, it's a pretty bad situation over there.
KennC Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Priests and brothers get attacked on the streets and abused verbally. It's a bad scene. What!!! ... are there any articles, online reports referenceing this?? I need them. thanks.
God Conquers Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 no, not really physically. But one of my friends knows brothers who have been spit on and verbally abused. Other times women will expose themselves to them. It's pretty sad. These are all stories I have from friends who live in Montreal, I've never seen news articles on it.
KennC Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Thanks, Ive been coming across this "I don't hate Catholics, I hate their false Church" this is no better than to say "I don't hate "X", I just don't like the color of their skin".

the_rev Posted February 22, 2004 Posted February 22, 2004 I read about that before, how wrong is it, really wrong!
