It's definitely surprising that a person in Catholic leadership (a deacon and an administrator) would be bringing in an evangelical speaker and supporting a tent revival. Anyone is free to experience other faiths, but to have a church leader encourage parishioners to do so?

Surely you agree that Catholic presenters are more likely to have a fuller grasp of the Truth, of Church teaching and so on?<br /><br />Would you care to write a post about Pope Francis?

It is not surprising. Are you saying experiencing events of other faiths is wrong? Why Part Three: Why don't you write much on our refreshing new Pope?

They are having to deal with this on an up-close level.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this problem has been developing in the parish for quite some time. Take it from a convert, the Catholic faith has been so watered down in this parish as to be nearly indistinguishable from a Protestant service. When this is done and certain staff and parishioners do not differentiate between a Catholic Mass and a tent revival, souls will and are being lost.<br /><br />Yesterday was the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I heard a homily in which the priest suggested we give cards to our Protestant friends. He said that generally, Protestants accept the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Of course the Sacred Heart speaks to Jesus' sacrifice for us, which he noted is exemplified by the Eucharist. He said that if you can get a Protestant to carry a card with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, that often their thoughts will begin to turn to the Eucharist--the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ.<br /><br />Perhaps we need to carry such cards ourselves, and pass them along to staff members.<br /><br />In any case, saying a daily Rosary for our parish can do wonders.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468550732181534405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611021065448394321.post-41501364687538030592013-06-08T09:40:29.353-04:002013-06-08T09:40:29.353-04:00Is there no end to this?

This is like setting off a bomb in the midst of the flock, a cancer has been unleashed. Our parish is weak in catechisis and there are people who are at risk to this kind of shenanigans.
