What a cruel and horrific...The Sunday obligation. <br /><br />What a cruel and horrific <i>diktat</i>!! Imagine even suggesting that being a Catholic might involve spending <i>a whole hour</i> in Church, once per week. A whole hour!! <br /><br />Good grief! Has the Church not yet realized that the malls are open on Sunday and then there's the NFL, not to mention soccer practice for the kids?? <br /><br />Furthermore, your letter actually implies that <i>hell</i> not only exists but that it awaits Catholics who don't attend Mass. Now this is <i>too</i> much. Whoever heard of such nonsense? <br /><br /><i>Everyone</i> goes to heaven..........<i>don't they</i>??kiwiinamericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584836925358624544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-67295069019829297892010-10-24T17:41:01.302-04:002010-10-24T17:41:01.302-04:00You've got guts.

Unfortunately, some of us thick-heads have to mess up really badly before we can see the light.<br /><br />With REAL catachesis like this, perhaps more souls will be saved, fewer messed up marriages, fewer abortions, fewer calls for legalized euthanasia, more clarity, and more vocations.<br /><br />I have great hopes for the next generation!SqueekerLambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604597395421612386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-23962154706571381082010-10-24T15:37:15.251-04:002010-10-24T15:37:15.251-04:00Loved it!

I expected some grousing, but nary a word. I recall a previous parish had a 7:30 mass that was well attended. Good fellowship there, too. Good discipline, good foundations, good harvest.<br /><br />rcgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-37883733837099525072010-10-24T09:47:46.984-04:002010-10-24T09:47:46.984-04:00I think you have gone over the edge.

Might not some be hearing this so strongly stated for the first time? Might not their reaction be: since when do we take all this so seriously?

Once a sin is committed, it's easier to commit another. Good example is the best teacher, especially for a child. I hope and pray they heed your advice. Nicely done. I feel truly blessed to have you as a pastor.Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707415545572897505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-71436419638493435602010-10-23T19:52:07.236-04:002010-10-23T19:52:07.236-04:00I pray that every Catholic Church should have Prie...I pray that every Catholic Church should have Priests like Fr.
