>>I have to ask: Are you making a judgement or characterization of all Catholics on the basis of a catholic who commits what his Church calls a mortal sin more than 50 times a year? Does he go to confession or receive the sacrament during his Christmas and Easter attendance? That would be more mortal sin.
I’m not so much ragging on him as I am questioning forming an opinion about Catholics and the Bible on a sample like that one. >>
Mad Dawg, are you trying to fight with me? I did not post to you. I simply conveyed to another on this board of my own personal experience around the many Catholics I know.
My husband does not go to confession and has not in the 26 years I have known him but does receive communion when he attends on the 2 Holidays. That is HIS deal....NOT MINE! No talking to him about it anyway and I am surrounded by Catholics in his HUGE family and they don’t read the Bible nor ever want to discuss....)most of our friends are Catholic too)....but it is not right to pass judgement.....
that is up to God.
No, I’m not trying to fight with you. I was noting that a generalization was being made about my co-religionists on the basis of a sample which didn’t strike me as representative. I try to avoid fights, as a rule.
