Catholic teens and Mormon teens share an experience...

I want to be there for the twirling of the sun as it leaves its orbit and dries the wet clothes of the people present. It will take more than acting!

So you don’t want to here about the miracle or see it acted out you want to see the actual event.

Why not? But I would recommend something that actually took place in catholic history. But what could it be? The mormon and catholic teens went on an historical reenactment of a historical event.

Then take them to Rome and let them be surrounded by a few hungry lions to see what Catholics faced … or perhaps they could be tied up at a stake by angry Native Americans with fire ready to send them to heaven.

“I want to be there for the twirling of the sun as it leaves its orbit and dries the wet clothes of the people present. It will take more than acting!”

So, how many ladies actually died in childbirth in your trek re-enactment? How many people actually died in accidents, or of illness, or were killed by hostile forces? Was there real blood? The stench of infected wounds and rotting bodies? The actual butchering of animals?

Might you be using a double standard here?

I don’t think that the original mormons heading west were praying the rosary. But I could be wrong. Nor do I think that the mormon pioneers were studying the catechism. But I could be wrong. It was a reactment of the westward trek that the mormons took. Nothing more. And as the article stated their was good understanding on both sides. And so, yes, I do believe that the spanish kids also spoke about their faith.

so this was nothing more than a mormon missionary effort to convert catholic kids.

Can I play “Ring around the Rosie” with them? Please? Please?

Other stakes pitched in to help the Spanish visitors, one providing pioneer clothing and another supplying copies of the Book of Mormon to put with the other supplies in their trek buckets.

Nothing to see here folks, just another historical reenactment.

In other news, a Krishna used a reenacted of the 1987 Grateful Dead show at Red Rocks to pass out copies of the Bhagavad-gītā…

A Jehova’s Witness passed out Watchtower tracts and NWTs at a mountain man rendezvous…

and members of the Religious Society of Friends passed out hardtack and preached the testimony of simplicity at a Battle of Gettysburg re-enactment.

Hooray for proselytizing!

Yep and one billed as lessons in English.

And as you can see by dismissal of any counter event by Catholics, it’s more of the “you should listen to the missionaries” while the Catholics are just supposed to shut up about their own faith.

Its good to know that both sides got to meet each other so they personally know each other, rather than to think of others who dont share their beliefs as somehow less human.
