I left this forum because of the anti-Catholic attitudes here. I thought I would look in to see if it had changed but obviously not. I admire MoreCoffee fore sticking it out, Goodbye. .

You really don't understand. Yes, a particular congregation (church) may have a sign Roman Catholic because it belongs to the Roman (or Latin) RIte. But the Worldwide Church with Pope Francis as Pope has 23 different rites. The Catechism is the Catechism of the Catholic Church not Roman...

Roman Catholic Church was a pejorative term invented by Protestants the Reformation. But if it makes you feel better to be insulting! ;)

I'll assume that by Roman Catholic Church you mean the Catholic Church and are just ignorant of the difference.

There are two common MYTHS: Roman Catholic: Jesus told Peter that these 27 books (and only these) are canonical, Peter told the Catholic Church, and eventually (it took many centuries) the Roman Catholic Church told the world. Who invented that myth? You - so you could ridicule the Catholic...

The one I gave wasn't the KJV but the RSV. Moreover Bible Gateway gives over 60 different translations and only a small minority give your interpretation.

I like lots of different soups but for a cold winters day my favourite would be tinned tomato soup in a mug to keep my hands warm.

I use Ghostery

I think that just makes my point about the errors in taking it too literally.

Personally I think the book of Revelation is greatly misused as some kind of timeline of the future. Some people take it far too literally and, combined with the book of Daniel, come up with all sorts of weird theories and predictions. I generally avoid end times discussions.

A collection bag (rather than plate/basket) is passed round at Sunday Mass but our church also encourages people to donate by standing order (we do) and there is also a means of paying by card at the back of church.

At every Mass, both the weekly Sunday Mass and at weekday Masses.

Now in my 15th home - a retirement flat.

High blood pressure and I take pills for it. With the pills it's almost normal.

I wasn't thinking about equipment failure but how sometimes the system couldn't cope with some event. For example (this was some years ago) I tried it out in a supermarket. You had to put your bag in the bagging area next to the scanner, which I did. But it kept complaining about an...

I don't do social media. The only one I've joined is facebook (recently) and then only have my wife and daughters as friends, and few groups I follow. I don't see the point of them.

Never have.
