Subject: Christians/Catholics same? |
Bible Note: Brenda, Yes I am Catholic. And I no more expected to be always spoon fed my faith by the Church than I expected my mother to spoon feed me the whole eighteen years I lived under her roof. I do not have "terrible" flashbacks of nuns and Catholic school. I have fond memories of both. And I did not stop learning about the Catholic faith when I left the 8th grade. I remember being taught a lot about grace: snctifying grace, sacramental grace, etc. Grace, grace, grace. What did we need all that grace for if we were able to work our way to heaven? ""Indeed He is THE LAMB of God as Catholics well know and profess each time they worship when they pray aloud in unison" "I don't ever remember a time saying it and actually understanding it or meaning it. We just said what we were suppose to say, at the right time." How sad. Emmaus |
