Many Catholics must be weird because
WE
1. Attend church EVERY week.
2. Attend other church activities at least two other times during the month.
3. Reach out to the less fortunate in our areas. Our individual parrish served over 1220 dinners at Thanksgiving and over 1100 dinners at Christmas. At Christmas we also had free clothing and gifts for the children. Sponsor programs for young mothers, Boy Scouts, etc.
4. Take part in weekly Bible Study Groups (or faith-sharing groups.
5. Pray daily — short prayers or perhaps the Rosary
6. Reach out to those within our parishes with programs such as visiting the sick with Holy Communion, prayer chains, parish nurses, senior’s groups, men’s groups, women’s groups.
7. Celebrate a rich liturgy of both Word and Sacrament — daily if a person desires to attend.
Tell me what other church does all these things?
Come and see for yourself — the fulfillment of Christ’s word!
I forgot this one.
8 Receive the seven Sacraments and the graces attached to each.
Tell me what other church does all these things?
Well, we do all these things. I attend other church activities twice a week actually (being perfectly honest, its also because I want to find a nice Godly woman, and Church seems like the best spot). We and several other protestants churches reach out to the less fortunate in conjunction with the local Catholic church via an ecumenical food bank. The only part you won't find in many Protestant churches is #7 (Celebrate a rich liturgy of both Word and Sacrament). This is because they have a slightly different view of sacraments than do Catholics and us Anglicans.

See...now that's how you do it, you invite people. Tell me just once where an militant commie every invited someone to a nonbelievers meeting. LOL.
Nope...they are too busy trying to herd us all into little pens...all you good little Catholics over here...all you Protestants, Jews and Mormons over there in your separate little cubicles that we place you in. Now, start slinging mud at each other so we can show how stupid you are./s
“Come and see for yourself — the fulfillment of Christ’s word!”
Where are priests, nuns, prayer beads, sacraments, monasteries, seminaries, Cardinals, Popes, Mariolotry, transubstantation, masses, missals,
novenas, monstrances, relics, etc., etc., and etc. in His Word?
There are many other churches, like the Times Square Church, protestants all, who do these kinds of things. It’s not just Catholics, although I do praise the Catholic churches who are doing it.
