Incidentally, which vestments for pastors looks more like what God commanded in the OT here:
I don’t suppose it ever occurred to you that just maybe the priest may be respecting boundaries you placed by not being Catholic, that just maybe he didn’t want to come across as pushing Catholicism on you? The same could hold true for “assigning” tasks, when I have a party I don’t assign tasks to the guests I invited them to a party not a work detail.
Try CARM for a week.
I never thought I’d say something was triggering me…but that’s triggering me.
Huh?
Sorry. You are neglecting some logical conditions.
Should I go to the grocery store, or to the meat department?
The meat department is in the grocery store.
Either my way or war.
There may be other ways besides war. We all agree the Lord of the Rings is the best book ever written in Klingon, or whales are figure skaters.
Uhh, it was written in English. And as far as I can tell, whales do not figure skate.I know what triggering is but there is nothing wrong with that picture.
Sorry, was a joke. I guess I picked that up frequenting places that make fun of RadFems saying every little thing “triggers” them.
Fair enough.
Again, fair enough.
I hear you.
I think that line should go a long ways in this thread, for everyone.Two thoughts …
First, thank you for talking about Catholicism IRL – it’s amazing how tired I can get of people saying "Well, somebody called CatholicPerson1234 said such and such on such and such webpage, so what that tells us about Catholicism is … "
Second, fwiw, there’s a parish where I live that I now make a point not to go to, because of judgmental/triumphalistic/whatever comments that I have heard the priest (yes, the priest) make when I have been there in the past. I’ll grant you that’s rather troubling (imagine if there were, oh say, a kindergarten class where the worst behaved person in the class was the teacher) but the thing is, that’s one parish out of about a dozen in the area, so we can hardly conclude that it is representative.
Hope this helps.
What exactly have I said that you take issue with? You are not giving specifics - I will respond to serious questions about comments. This post is just anti-Catholicism as old as the hills (and personal attacks which are against forum rules). Are you the “true” Christian - acting like this? Is this the fruit of conversion in action?Of course…
No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
First it’s the comfy chair, then Winnie the poo and Piglet go collect firewood… then out comes the torch!
On this we agree. No argument here.??
I never know what is going on around here.
Anti-Catholicism? I take it you’re not a Monty Python fan. I was trying to make a joke about you saying you would “carry the torch”, thinking my mock horror and deliberate misconstruing of your meaning would be clearly meant to be a joke. Yes, indeed, a “true” Christian can make attempts at humor that fail.
Likewise, FollowChrist34. By the way, I deeply admire Pope Francis. I think he embodies much of what is good in Catholicism and the Christian faith.
Way to go, dude.
It’s a honor to call you my fellow Christian.
Yes, you are way too esoteric (and Christian, bien sûr) for me I am afraid. And, ironically, I am a Monty Python fan. Go figure.Anti-Catholicism? I take it you’re not a Month Python fan.

I suspect I spelled Winnie’s title wrong. I think it must be Winnie the Pooh?
He does indeed. Though I admit to being more in the JPII/Benedict camp. So far, I am quite pleased with his comments here in the US - people say he is “threading the needle.” He is just being a Christian, right? He applies doctrine to either side properly - they hate it.
