Do you pray in a Protestant Mass?

Excuse me for being late here, but IMHO, you are all biting at ridiculous posts from one certain person who is obviously looking for attention and she’s getting it. I am a convert Lutheran and what is being said here is so not true of protestant churches, who do recite prayers. “Recited prayers are not real prayers.” That’s were I draw the line. Really now!

Poor Mada85; this train has derailed. Mada, go to the funeral and pray for the person and their family. Pray the Lord’s Prayer (a bit different), join in on the singing. You are not doing anything wrong or against the Catholic church. As a matter of fact, it’s rather insulting to our other CHRISTIAN sisters and brothers what I am reading here by one particular poster. As a Catholic, we pray for all people of faith and no faith. Study the 10 General Intercessions we pray in our Good Friday Liturgy. So much for being ecumenical! Gee.

But the 2nd Vatican Council is an official Catholic Council, even for traditionalists in Communion with Rome, like it or not.

Am I not allowed to be? Have you forgotten that there is a Traditional Catholicism section on CAF?

Everyone is allowed here, so long as they follow the forum rules.

You are not posting these messages in the Traditional Catholicism section. you are in the non-Catholic religion section, suggesting that modern Protestants are heretics, and that it is inappropriate for a Catholic to attend a non-Catholic funeral.

I suspect that @semper_catholicus does not consider these general intercessions, or anything in the Novus Ordo Mass as valid.
 
Been a while since I’ve seen this one. Mortalium Animos was not directed at RCs attending non RC worship services, though perhaps it could be stretched to that point. It was aimed at the post WWI ecumenical movement, called by some Pan-Christianity.The wording, as can be seen, is not directed toward attending a non-RC worship service, but toward a movement that might move toward some form of syncretism.

Wow, touchy. I “singled you out” because I thought you would be passionate about your faith. I wouldn’t mind talking to others about mine. 😉

You are reading me incorrectly if you think I was being touchy. I never felt that way at all. How did you determine I was being “touchy?”

I consider it a compliment that you felt I m passionate about my faith. Thank you!

I know a lot of Catholics and I have not found any yet in real life.

I wish I could claim there are not bigots among Catholics, but unfortunately, there are some.

If you don’t mind my saying this…I find it interesting how it is constantly pointed out that us “Protestants” have so many conflicting points of view. Catholicism does not appear to be that much different.
 
So, What exactly is your position on marriage when it comes to Catholics marrying Christians who aren’t Catholic?
 
My personal opinion is this: I don’t think Catholics should marry non-Catholics, given that it used to be on of the precepts of the Church.

I don’t mind at all!

I think it is inappropriate to lump “Protestants” together with anything, and the common references to the vast plethora of denominations seems spurious to me.

What is different may be that the CC has a unified doctrine. There are as many “Catholics” that fail to adhere to it as there are Protestants that may deny various parts of doctrine. They are called “cafeteria Catholics”, who think they can pick and choose what they will accept, and what they will not. This practice is contrary to the teaching of the Church, which requires us to accept the faith as one, whole, seamless garment.

One form of this “cafeteria” approach is to deny the validity of any teachings from Vatican 2 and afterwards. Some who do this even deny the validity of any Popes since that time.

So it is not so much that there are different doctrines, it is that there are persons who refuse to embrace them.
 
My grandma (raised Plymouth Brethren) used to hold a similar position. I don’t think she was against praying the Lord’s Prayer, per se, but she saw it as a guideline rather than as something to be repeated.

Of course there are many liturgical prayers that the Jews solemnly chanted and repeated right within Scripture itself…the Psalms being a prime example.
 
Well I am very happy my Catholic raised wife didn’t follow this advice. Today that is probably the best decision I ever made (and I feel she would agree) and we are quite happy.
 
Nope they are not that different. Interesting that only a few of them see this?
