You are sure fascinated with this.

It's kind of like watching a train wreck.

However, caww isn't building churches out of dead people, nor traveling on pilgrimages to see the remains and kneel before and pray to them.

I suppose that accusing someone who is exposing something that really ought to be an embarrassment to them, of being fascinated or obsessed by it is typical distraction technique.

But people do see it for what it is.

You tried.

Indeed it is. A child attempting to participate in an adult conversation, "And you see this here, well this looks sort of like this and it has the same shape as this, and so they are kinda sorta the same thing. Blah blah blah." Now that is what is embarrasing.

Is this something new? Some newfound knowledge lost to history until Caww was able to decipher the code and overcome millenia of Catholic suppession and at last bring us the truth? Gimme a break. There's nothing being exposed here. Protestants shouldn't believe their own press. It makes them look like nutjob conspiracy theorists. There's no difference between this and the "9/11 was an inside job" crowd.

There is nothing here to be embarrased about. Maybe protestants shouldn't be interjecting their post-modern revisionist sensibilities into something they don't understand.

Some would call it an obsession, I call it the antics of a child. Which is why protestants support it, disobedient children that they are. They simply don't know what they're talking about. And like the children that they are it is better that they are seen and not heard.

The skulls are interesting to read about. Faithful Catholics are not embarrassed by them. I was getting tired, hence the one-liner, but being overly fascinated with an aspect of the Catholic Church that one doesn't understand (or make much effort to understand) is obsessing in the wrong direction, imo.

I don't think you answered my question (or I missed it) about whether you ever partook of the Sacraments FREQUENTLY when you were a Catholic. That is how Catholics grow deeper in their faith through the understanding of and reception of the Eucharist (confession and adoration too). Otherwise one can perilously end up a LUKEWARM Catholic, the scourge of the earth.

St. Patrick's Breastplate

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom....

Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation. -prayer attributed to St. Patrick
