    Liturgical Only Sacred space & closed communion.

    Many Catholics take to heart what God said about his worship - By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, And before all the people I will be honored and true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers and You shall be...

    Liturgical Only Sacred space & closed communion.

    In my parish church upon entry silence is kept by most except for a nod or a smile and some who pray quietly. After the mass silence is mostly maintained as people exit and enter the foyer or go to the hall for coffee/tea and a chat. The church is regarded as sacred space for worship of God.

    Your tithe doesn't have to go to the church

    It ought to be unpopular because it is not commanded for Christians and that is so because Christians do not have one out of twelve tribes with no means of earning an income apart from the tithes of the other 11 tribes. My guess is that in Catholic city and suburban parish churches the ratio...

    What are you eating? - Part 2

    Today I had the left overs from yesterday's dinner for breakfast and lunch. The only addition was for breakfast I had it cold on toast and it was very nice :) Lunch was warmed and tasted very good too.

    Can you afford your phone? Really?

    I buy cheap android phones instead of "flagship" phones because it's really only a phone. It isn't a computer. It doesn't replace my desktop or laptop. It does sms and makes/receives phone calls and I use it for weather checking sometimes and as a flashlight sometimes and as a camera...

    If you vote for a "minor party" maybe others will too and before long it will not be "minor" any more.

    Your tithe doesn't have to go to the church

    If you have misgivings about how your organisation handles money then give whatever you think is needed to cover costs and give any extra to charities that you trust or find another organisation with a local congregation and swap.

    Mary - The Mother of Our Lord

    Blessed Mary is a human being and a creature and as such she is not and can never be God yet every person who is in Christ on the last day is a partaker of the divine nature and hence will be kings (queens) and priests of our God and judge even the angels and if Paul laboured to complete what is...

    If I have coffee (as a hot drink) I prefer it with some whisky in it or some bourbon in it, just a little, about 1/3 of a shot. It improves the flavour
