I love me some Catholic rituals, I tell you.. and I know that some of my Catholics are very radical in their belief patterns... I like it all.Kate Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096894906554704179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721926726883410358.post-48984781768036108512010-02-05T03:07:40.818-05:002010-02-05T03:07:40.818-05:00I haven't heard anyone call it CCD in ages. A...I haven't heard anyone call it CCD in ages. And yes, I am catholic, but I like to think that I have progressed religiously though since I don't attend church. Although, I have gone through the sacraments, was married in the catholic church and will always take communion whenever I go (mostly weddings and funerals and the occasional christening.) I'm a god mother too! Anyway, that may be hypocritical but I don't think that not going to church is a sin. And I don't think that many of the sins besides killing and that kind of stuff is a sin. I just think that I am more a buddist or something and what about all that time in Jesus's life that is missing from the bible? He supposedly went to india and the east to study the other religions. So I think people can incorporate the best of all religions to make religion fit them and not the other way around.<br /><br />Anyway, what about all the other hypocrites who are baptist, christian, born again whatever. They hate gays and pornography etc but are the ones that are caught in homosexual relationships, have extramarital affairs or worse, little kids! <br />Not that I am religious at all, but us catholics (especially the non-practicing kind) are totally inclusive. Kids are just cruel.<br />sorry 4 the novel.urban crafthttp://urbancraft.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721926726883410358.post-2596018121196479842010-02-04T21:57:10.579-05:002010-02-04T21:57:10.579-05:00I have nothing to add but I am enjoying and readin...I have nothing to add but I am enjoying and reading and am thinking along these lines too.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385300459967135657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721926726883410358.post-20286924220623471662010-02-04T19:57:22.508-05:002010-02-04T19:57:22.508-05:00I am Catholic, and I always give it up for Lent, s...I am Catholic, and I always give it up for Lent, sometimes I forget to pick it up again though. *ahem, blushes* I avoid church like the Pope himself is there to assign my 'Hail Marys' mostly because Catholic churches are not known for that wonderful concept of Sunday School, so that parents can do something other than glare and silently plead with their children to behave, like listen to the mass. My six children are too much for me to attempt church with. I am pretty sure God understands, perhaps not the Pope, but, I can live with that.<br /><br />As far as CCD, well, I um, had some fun with that as a kid. Like asking how we knew our beliefs about God weren't going to be the 'next' mythology studies. Maybe I pushed the envelope a little when I forced my CCD teacher to admit that sex outside of marriage isn't a sin (at least not if you're Catholic) and so we need not mention anything like that in our confessions.<br /><br />I have looked far and wide for a church that was more accepting of my views, a liberal, pro-choice Catholic, is sort of an oxymoron. Finally, I decided that maybe I didn't love everything about the Catholic church, maybe I didn't accept 'confession' or flaunted certain doctrine, but, I decided that I could take my chances with God, because nothing says beauty and home to me like a traditional Catholic mass.Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508647658368782915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721926726883410358.post-79889644373742261292010-02-04T12:55:01.713-05:002010-02-04T12:55:01.713-05:00Mr. Handsome and I went to Catholic high school. ...Mr. Handsome and I went to Catholic high school. Mr. Handsome is not Catholic, I was born into it. No choice for me. Needless to say, I started telling people I was Jewish. It works better for me. But the point of this, Mr. Handsome always took communion during our Friday High School Mass. He didn't care that he wasn't "supposed" to participate. That's why I married him. He's such a rebel and he's probably going to Hell.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803725930630887403noreply@blogger.com
