Now it's Sunday May 18th (2025) and I just came across this. As I read I was composing a number of repies.
This being a chance to defend basic Catholic teaching I may keep it going, even if the OP can't read it.
Dominus tecum, Reg
Thank you for your hard work. Thank you also for the strength to go through all the profanity. It is always good to have to defend our beliefs, whether to an unbeliever or just someone with questions. I noticed that back in the Catholic Answers days.
Abortion IS NOT a human right. It is merely the killing of another human being at a stage in life that Canada's government and party leaders refuse to recognize. It's like saying a teenager, for example, is not a human person and can be done away with at anyone's whim...
I firmly believe that people have to re-evaluate how they dress for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. For visiting and receiving the King of the Universe, the King of all creation.
Do we dress better for, say, a job interview? The most important occasion we have in our lives is visiting Our...
A while ago I joined "Christian Forums" but have, until tonight, largely ignored it. (I may even leave it soon.)
One post brought to mind the question posed as the title of this thread.

Hello, for the first time in a long while.
Our Lady has many titles, but the one that seems the most basic to me is the topic of my linked blog post: "Mary, the Mother of God".
See blog post HERE.
If we do not acknowledge Mary to be the Mother of God we are not acknowledging her Son, Jesus...
Yes, I had been hoping that the very title would attract a few folk with a wee sense of humour. (My spell checker doesn't like the correct spelling of humour.)
"... We attend Mass for the Eucharist, and that's what I try to keep my eye on . . ."
That's what this whole thread is about. Keeping your "eye on the Eucharist" and not having your attention diverted from God by greeting those around you.
One thing I've found since I've had to assist at the...
Hmm... That would take some brain power.
The O.P.s name just popped into my head: Bigfoot Bob. He didn't post much after starting the thread. It had to be started at least one more time as it went over the limit.
