Help! I'm creeped out going to EMHCs for Communion!

All this talk about creeping out is creeping me out.

believe the latter wished or hoped that the TLM would be said at every parish.

You would believe incorrectly. The purpose was as compromise to try and bring those who joined up with Bishop Lefabrve to return to the Church.

There is no goal of having the TLM in every parish. If it happens because its being requested, so be it, but it wasn’t the intended goal of Pope Benedict XVI.

The statement was always limited to England, but perhaps you chaps should move this to the appropriate forum.

All good Catholics should be creeped out by polyester.
It’s not natural, therefore, it’s not of God.
And if it’s not of God, then it must be Evil.
And the father of Evil is Satan.

Thus, polyester = Satan!

Satan = 1,4 Dibenzenedicarboxylic acid (or it’s dimethyl ester) + 1,2 Ethanediol

Satan’s “Little (Catalytic) Helper” = Sb2O3 (aka “Meph Powder”)

…just so 'yer all well informed. Now you know WHY you hate chemistry!

You wouldn’t want just ANYONE to bring you the Body and Blood of Christ and you know it. And in English it is proper to capitalize any pronouns that refer to Christ. I get creeped out by someone who does not do this.

…“If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.” Luke 7:39.

Among those whom the Vicar of Christ allows to minister to you, which one, exactly, would you judge unworthy? Did not Our Lord not dine in the homes of both sinners and Pharisees alike?

It is one thing to ask for accomodation of our weakness, and quite another to try to establish it as a positive principle.

As for the capitalization of pronouns referring to God, the practice does not belong to standard English. The practice was introduced by the Puritans. (You will not find it in the Douay-Rheims Bible, for instance.) I don’t have a problem with it as a pious practice, and go back and forth on it myself, but it does not necessarily betray a lack of piety when someone does not do it.
