@pursuedbytruth@BreeSolstad Amen- love the sacraments, the history and the ceremonies of the Church- but at its heart the church is about Love and Charity for all - especially the marginalized
@brushstroke1776@literally_chad Agree- we should deal with them by making sure the doors of the church are open, as are the hearts inside and with open arms if they step back inside
@FrMatthewLC Part of the job description! Not trad, but raised on the Tridentine Mass. There is a part of me that feels when overdone it is a bit Baptist! I agree with @flowerafterfire other points on charity for the marginalised. If I have to chose - I will take love and charity
@catholic_anglo As a cradle Catholic, raised on the Tridentine mass, I want to have charity toward the those who loudly profess their faith. But there is a part of me that sees this as a bit more protestant than Catholic.
@ruthdelioncourt yes, you are right. But I will take @flowerafterfire view on charity for the marginal, on a belief and action on the corporal acts of mercy over the "practicing" catholic who does the sacrements, but does not live the faith.
