Is there a outcome from the service? Is there a alter call? Ask your Priest in private if there is such a thing as a “pro choice Christian”?
If your particular Catholic Church believes that Catholics are the only true Christian`s? That`s a give away that its a dead Church.
***Is there a outcome from the service? Is there a alter call?***
There is no Scriptural or patristic proofs or defence of altar calls. It began in the early 1800s with Charles Finney and has evolved with the evangelical churches especially the Prosperity churches into a simple pressured emotional gratification. People get up, wave hands, scream, shout, faint, bark, and even see visions.
Nope, not Scriptural, not patristic, not even Christian.
Honey, Our Lord doesn’t live by your rules.
All of your questions are silly and gratuitous in the eyes of The Lord.
All that happy “feel good” stuff that you do in front of other men, makes you feel wonderful. However, you OPINION of what the Lord wants is just that, your opinion.
The Pope nor myself feel a need to “proclaim” anything to other men. No need, my FRiend.
“Is there a alter call?”
