[historian]

But then you would not have ever been born?????

I showed up well before he became a pastor.

 

[ViperJock]

Well, Paul did say if you can't control it, get married.

'bout time the Catholic Church get with the first century.

Yes. God should always change by what men think is modern thought. Kind of makes you wonder who is actually driving this train?

Not tracking.

What are you referring to as "modern thought"? And what "men"?

Is VJ saying the Catholic church is the men with modern thought, or is it Paul, or reformers or ... ? Who is he accusing of trying to change the Lord's truth?

... the Catholic church is the men with modern thought...

Not only is this the first time I've seen that phrase on INGO, I think its the first time in human history those words have been strung together in that order.

(George Carlin had a great bit about that. Saw him live in Vegas once when he did that schtick and I was laughing so hard my sides hurt.)

 

[ViperJock]

I'm saying that Christianity of many sects has evolved as men have changed their own morality, their own ideas of what's right and wrong. It's hard for me to believe that those changes are being made by God and not by people that think their church should "get with the times" or become more popular by accepting compromise. Seems to me men are telling God what to do and not the other way around. Is church a club or a set of eternal truths?

A club of people exploring eternal truths to the best of their abilities in a given time period.

...despite the prevailing tide of lies and deceptions.

So...my Latin friends...we are taking a minication to Louisville Good Friday. We are thinking about hitting up a Catholic service while there.

How long are your Good Friday services and what can we expect?

You feeling OK?

I kinda like tradition...and it would be a good learning experience for my kids and my wife has always wanted to go to a Catholic service (If I could find a Latin Rite service, that would be the best! )

Its nice.

About an hour, depending on the homily. Which, they tend to have some good themes to work with there, so getting carried away can happen.

This is kinda awkward, but I'm not sure I'd suggest a Holy Week mass to give a real "flavor" for Catholicism. I mean, there is more tradition than usual, but if that's the only taste, then it might suggest that tradition is heavier than it really is (which, admittedly, is pretty heavy).

Of course, if taken in context, it might be really neat as a first experience.

I'll be at a joint service at Blackhawk (who planted our church); so not very traditional.

If it's like last year, there will be ice cream sandwiches afterwards.

That's the thing. I like the tradition, so I figure it would be a good experience. Plus, I live in context, so I think it would be enjoyable.

 

[T.Lex]

Living in context? Certainly could be worse lifestyles.
