now you make yourself clear: you're not the atheist saviour of poor brainwashed Christians, like your former language suggests, but a smart thinking Christian guy who seeks answers to the filth the Church has become. Well, then why didn't you say so in the first time? Your former post would have suited better a laicist provocateur rather than the guy you seem to be. Quote:
Anyway, now your manners have visibly improved and I'll be delighted to further read your post on religious topics. Cheers ... and Gott mit Uns!

Re: How often do you attend mass?
I attend on special occasions, and a few times every couple of months.
I find it very uncomfortable in mass. The people there are normally so posh and stuck up. I stay in a very Catholic area in a very heavy Orange orientated town, but the people who go to the local Catholic church aren't any locals except my Gran and Grandpa.

Re: How often do you attend mass?
Never, for one simple reason - we don't have mass, we have liturgy...

Re: How often do you attend mass?
I am catholic but....Never, except for weddings, baptism, or first Holy Communion celebrations... AND i can't leave behind when I just step into a cathedral or church for the sake of it, and a service is taking place. Getting inmersed in that athmosphere amazes me and makes me think i am in a different world.

Re: How often do you attend mass?
Rarely. The last church I visited was indistinguishable from any Protestant church; it was devoid of any memorabilia I'm accustomed to (no vigil lights, no statues, no stations of the Cross). What I found particularly odd was the lack of kneelers. Of course, I've been to churches where there were no kneelers, but there was ample room to kneel between the pews. If my grandmother were still alive, she would be scandalised.
