It almost sounds like these people have some kind of mental problem, or are possibly even under demonic influence. Actually, when you think about it, there is probably far more Scripture used in a Catholic Mass than in a typical Protestant service. In the latter, they tend to rivet upon...

If they were never properly catechized, or had been told these things but forgot, it is entirely possible that they didn't know. That wouldn't explain the anger, though. A lot of people leave the Church because of some trauma or mistreatment they incurred within the Church, or because the...

I didn't think of that. Very sad indeed.

It's hard to imagine how Pentecostals would even know about transubstantiation, let alone try to get a Catholic to think their "Lord's Supper" possesses it. So far as I am aware, they treat it solely as a memorial, and are simply obeying Scripture as they perceive it.

In their defense, they perform the "Lord's Supper" because Christ said to, "do this in memory of Me". St Paul also warns against receiving the Body of Christ unworthily, which implies that this ordinance is to be done time and again among Christians. Denominations vary widely as to how often...

Yes, lacking the Eucharistic sacrifice and the Real Presence, music and preaching is about all they have. Their churches rise and fall upon how good both of these are perceived as being. OTOH, in the Catholic Church, the music could be awful and the sermon could be utterly uninspiring, but it...

Anglicans are all over the place in their relative resemblance to Catholicism. Some Anglican liturgies are very close to the TLM if it were in English. Their 1928 BCP contains a Eucharistic liturgy that has a very stern warning about receiving the Body and Blood unworthily. If there had to...

The Church teaches that it is one and the same Mass, but that said, it was radically overhauled. The TLM is available under diocesan auspices in many places, and it is the Mass that I normally attend on Sundays. Here is a directory that shows approved TLM locations: https://www.latinmassdir.org/

If you did pursue a career as a teacher, your sincerity and conscientiousness alone are evidence that you would not be the kind of person to whom the term "millstone" applies. This Scripture passage refers to people who are teaching others to sin. You obviously wouldn't be doing that. Your...

I hope the OP doesn't mind that I made the correction. Good thoughts.

People have all kinds of different reasons for thinking and doing things. Not putting error on an equal footing with truth, just stating the fact.

YouTube doesn't like that. I had a similar utility installed (as part of MalwareBytes) and I kept getting these nasty messages from YouTube about blocking their ads. I finally disabled it where YouTube was concerned. So far as I recall, the poster (who has since been removed from CQ for...

Not clear what you are getting at here. Could you elaborate?

It can't be helped, it's just in the nature of YouTube and there's no way to block it (aside from paying a fee to avoid advertisements altogether). Anyone using YouTube should realize this, and ignore ads that aren't of interest. It also usually gives you an option to skip the ad after a few...

I have no issue per se with YouTube videos on CQ. Go ahead and post what you've got.
