Re: How often do you attend mass?
Not much really. I cant stand the priests in my local area(American Catholicism is pathetic), and its several miles away to the nearest Byzantine Catholic church and same with the nearest Traditional Latin Mass church. When I do go, I make sure its an ethnic-based parish with priests from the old country.

Re: How often do you attend mass?
Tim?
 I probably attend Mass a couple of times a year for much the same reasons as Perun. I'd rather not waste my time going to a Novus Ordo "Mess". I do go on special occasions (Christmas, Easter) mostly out of duty to the family. I don't bother recieving an invalid Communion though

Re: How often do you attend mass?
THE PRECEPTS OF THE CHURCH.
1) To assist at Mass on all Sundays and Holydays of Obligation etc... You, lazy Catholics, if San Augustine were alive, he would give you a lash... or perhaps he would take the Vatican by assault, Im not sure.

Actually it is debatable if it is more improper not to attend the Mass at all, or to attend the Novus Ordo "Mess".

Re: How often do you attend mass?
Never. I sometimes go to church but I never attend a mass.
I am by birth Roman Catholic and I do believe in God(in my own way), but I just can't stand the corrupted Priest's(ok not all but many) and the outdated brainwashing ceremonies...as Mr. Polo mentioned. Btw. 'Marco Polo' are you by any chance from Korcula as well?

Other brainwashing ceremonies are tv, cinema, discos, dance floors, etc. Do you attend these ones? And do you also post in forums of dance 'music' and cinema lovers to iluminate people there by telling them they are being brainwashed? Quote:
For a decent Christian it is normal no to post in atheist subforums to remind people there that they're are a bunch of subhuman materialists. So learn some manners. And let your leftist complex be analysed.

Re: How often do you attend mass?
normally, I don't attend Novus Ordo missae. They should be considered heretical. But I keep visiting some temples and monasteries, sometimes seeking retirement and meditation, sometimes just for the aesthetic pleasure of the senses and the intellect.
Sometimes, like last year at the monastry of Sto. Domingo de Silos (Burgos, Spain), I do attend a NO missa because of the occasion and because it was sung in Gregorian Chant. To my suprise, I found that cloister mass was a mix between a Tridentine and a NO mass. And the sermon was a proper one, not dealing with worldly-communist moral matters. I voted for "a few times a year", but I think of Christians as liberated from the obligation of attending modern mass. So "never" would have been a good answer too.

Re: How often do you attend mass?
I used to go to pretty much all Christmas midnight masses as a kid because someone from my family, either my mom or someone else would go and so would I, as they always had good music -and that it was so late at night, hence, exciting- even though neither me nor my family are Christians. Let's just say we have a rather.. eclectic approach to religion
. Haven't been to one in.. let's see, two years. I had checked out the neighborhood Anglican church's Christmas service two years ago. Wasn't bad. Good singing. Oh What Child is This, and all that. I'm a damned heathen puppy though and there's no saving me.

Re: How often do you attend mass?
A few times each year. Mostly out of obligation to my family. Last year I went more than usual, because my grandfather had died on boxing day in 2003, and there were several memorial masses. If you honestly believe, I don't think it matters much which service you attend (this is at Perun), I think your intentions as to why you are there matter more.
@ Marco: don't be rude, this poll was meant for believers only, give people the same respect for their beliefs as you expect to get for your atheism. Last edited by Constantinus; Thursday, January 27th, 2005 at 11:03.

Re: How often do you attend mass?
Quote:
The New Mass basically resembles a Protestant service more than a Catholic Mass, which isn't suprising as it's authors were a clergyman who was later exiled from the Vatican on suspicion of being a Freemason + six Protesnat ministers (didn't they even insert Lutheran prayers?). Which is fine if you are a Protestant. Not so good if you are a Catholic though The New Mass began as an experiment under a different name before Vatican II, proposed by modernist theologians and clergy. It was universally rejected by the Church as defective and ambigious, temming with liberal errors and insinuations. They merely ressurected it and gave it a new name for Vatican II.

Useful word, this 'eclectic'. One could say I am an eclectic Catholic; thus attending mass only once every few months is acceptable.
