Alexios, don’t waste your time explaining, they just don’t accept truth or tradition, 40 odd years of liberation has seen to that.

hey, even if you are working against small “t” tradition, your still working against tradition, I know that doesn’t bother you, but hey, whatever floats your boat right, it is small “t” afterall. 👍 👍

Seriously, are you?

Eating meat on Fridays during Lent when you know you should not is a serious sin, a sin which needs to be confessed before you commune on Sunday at Holy Mass, if you have any respect for Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist, and you do not wish to bring condemnation upon your soul.

Posture when receiving commune does matter. If you knew much about the Catholic Faith, you would know that outward signs and actions deeply affect inner, spiritual sensitivities. Taking Communion like you shove a bunch of graham crackers into your mouth Sunday after Sunday after Sunday will slowly erode the faith and reverence even the most watchful person has for the Holy Eucharist. Things at Mass are done differently than those things we do outside Church doors for a reason: to remind us of what we are participating in, with Whom we are approaching.

I was particularly interested in what the Archbishop said about Communion in the hand in the early Christian centuries. Now, not that even if they did take it the exact same way most people do today would that justify the weird, antiquarian mismatched practice of Communion in the hand as it is today, but…Archbishop Schneider was saying how even the early Christians would be absolutely horrified at how Communion is most often received today, given that It was placed in their hand and they took It up humbly with their mouths, unlike today where people take It from one hand, put It in another, and feed It to themselves (often while dropping It, which I actually saw JUST this last Sunday - thank goodness the girl SOMEHOW caught It before It hit the floor).

Being commanded by the church not to eat meat during lent is a man made tradition. Forcing someone to fast is not fasting. God does not even force us to love him for that would not be love.

Like I said growing up we were told never to eat meat on Fri. In our Catholic Church we had a visited priest who went to different Catholic Churches to preach, spoke of this also. When we were kids even the priest himself was told when he was a child not to eat meat on Fri.
These are Man made traditions. So everyone who ate a hot dog on Fri is going to HELL. Those were the exact words of the Catholic priest.

This is not a commandment from God, but we do have God’s 10 commandments which are not posted in any Catholic Church…why? 1. Worship God 2. Make no Idols etc.

God said: Let no one tell you what to eat or drink…for all that God has given is good. ST. Paul said, even I do not judge myself for God is all of his creations judge!

There is no mention of not eating meat on Fri and doing so, it would be a sin, Show me where it says this in the whole Bible, if it is there within… please show me. I mean no disrespect.

God Bless

Don’t fret about such things – keep the two greatest commandments before you always and keep them as best as you can.

It all falls into place then.

I trust that Benedict XVI will set some people on their heels in the years to come… The MP was only one of the first steps. His trip to this country will be quite interesting… by example if nothing else.

Forty years of wandering in a desert of ambiguity has been quite painful. We must have deserved it… God’s wrath is giving us what we asked for.

Now perhaps through His Mercy the Pontiff will restore what we do not deserve.

Ohh does the world revolve around you as well??

Well - as a point of fact - I do not ‘drop one liners’ to upset anyone.
 
It would be even sweeter if you understood the flow of that exchange 😃 … love it

I just wish they had some substance and or points worth discussing.

I am reminded of what one of my sons said at a very yound age:

" I know you are, but what am I?" or

“You’re not the boss of me!”

Cracks me up to this day… but hopefully not him, as he is now a fighter pilot… hehehe
 
Yup – the ones with the more “progressive” side do tend toward uncharitableness–:rolleyes:
 
The ones that show up in this forum to provoke, bait and draw people into confrontation.
