David —
Catholics used to be forbidden to attend Protestant
services but now are allowed to attend, for
special occasions, as long as their faith
is not endangered. Most Catholics do not know their
faith, and are easily enfolded in the friendship
and celebration of a heretical denomination. There
is much that is true and good and that can be imitated
in these denominations.
- Why don't you try to find or help create in your
own Catholic parish, what you see in the denomination?
Our faith is not supposed to be like T.V., where
we channel surf until we find something that entertains
or suits us. We are meant to know and commune with
the whole truth and reality of God.
One convert couple
from evangelicalism said, they sort of lost that
grand reaching out celebration when they came to
the Church and they realized that it was because
it was not fulfilled in their union with Christ in
the Eucharist, giving them a fulfillment and peace
and contentment, their previous songs had only
aspired to reach.
Our problem is that we cradle Catholics often don't
discover the wonders we possess. So go renew your
faith! God will reveal Himself to you and give you
greater gifts than you can find anywhere else.
