Should I quit the Catholic Daughters?

[anp1215]

This is the most pathetic and sad response I have read. Getting upset at a 100th anniversary party being on the founding of the organization which seems to be the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is the start. Then getting mad because you were forced to attend an OF Mass (which was valid) because the person WAS being nice and giving you a ride which you didn’t have. Then you seem unapologetic in your rudeness is just beyond beyond. Now you don’t like the fact that other posters are pointing out your bad attitude and rudeness so you go storm off again and leave the thread you started. Pride, superior and condescending attitude, lack of gratefulness and charity, calling a valid Catholic Mass an invalid Protestant service are things you seem to have a problem with.

I have to agree.

Anyway, I’m confused as to how the OP knows what the sermon was about when she apparently walked out at the beginning.

denitaA,

I hope you are still reading this thread. It sounds to me like you joined CDA without understanding what type of organization it is. As noted earlier, their motto is unity and service. They are a group that is aimed at fellowship and service to others. It is NOT a prayer group, a Bible study or a theology think-tank. There are other groups that pursue those goals.

If that is the case, then you should probably bow gracefully out of CDA and look for a more spiritually focussed group. It would not be fruitful for you to keep trying to change the purpose of CDA (especially after 100 years).

You have some very good points which I agree with, but I have a feeling with the OP that she would become unhappy with any organization or group even if it was more oriented to prayer due to the attitudes being displayed here.

I’ve also gone to one of these Masses and thought it was irreverent but “offered it up”. **Now, in my diocese the party would NEVER have been on December 8th, because our Bishop pointed it out that the Christmas season begins on Christmas and not before, and discouraged any parties held before. **Perhaps in charity you could bring this up, because after all it is the season of Advent and such a party could clearly have been postponed till after Christmas, especially since it was on Our Lady’s Feast Day. I’d also encourage you to attend an EF Mass when you can, but if you run into those irregularities , there are also parishes that reverently offer the OF Mass . These distractions can be offered up as a Penance or for the Poor Souls, which I usually do. Good luck!

The party was an anniversary party - not a Christmas party. And Our Lady’s feast day is an excellent time for a celebration. In fact we had our parish volunteer dinner last night.

The Mass the OP attended was not irreverent or abusive based on what she posted. Coming to Mass with a spirit of opposition and a critical nature is not the best way to be properly disposed and at peace.

Perhaps the OP should drop out of this organization. Not all groups are good fits. However, based on some previous posts, it seems that she depends on these friends for transportation help and other assistance. While she doesn’t have to be part of the group, being rude to a friend and then expecting favors later is not very Christian behavior.

Actually, in the original post she said that the event on Dec. 8 was their Christmas party.

In a subsequent post she said that she’s unhappy that all they seem to focus on these days is fund raising for their 100th anniversary. I do think she is talking about two very different occasions.

Thanks. I guess I need to brush up on my critical reading skills.

swallow my pride, and go to an OF Mass to make my obligation. But the person who was driving me to the party insisted on going to her church, and the results were awful. **I walked out when at the beginning **they asked us to “Stand up and greet one another.” Not to mention **the sermon **was the priest asking questions to the laypeople. Anyway I told my friend this mass was a “farce” and to take me to the bus stop if not home.

OK, I got told. Maybe I should have said “irreverence” rather than “abuse.” anyway **it was Protestant **and the altar is not in the right place. I wanted support and suggestions, and I got them. I don’t like them, but I got them. This Mass was irreverent.

Notice the poster says “I walked out when at the beginning…”, then goes on to disrepect the whole Mass, pretending she had actually attended the whole Mass. The poster uses a sham scenario, and a very poor one at that, dragging in the Catholic Daughters, to attempt to cause division.

Another OP that does not pass the smell test. Is there a robot army of these people somwhere, waiting one after the other, to spew disrespect on the “modern” Church?

Maybe, but sometimes I think people don’t communicate too well (myself included) when posting, or they don’t proof read what they type and don’t realize how it sounds or came out until people start responding. She realized later she should have used different wordings.

I have a handy slogan for just these occasions,

“How important is it?”
