“..what is believed to be the body of Christ..” Well, depending on how you read that sentence, to those nuns, and Catholics, it is the body of Christ, created through the miracle of transubstantiation during the Mass. As Christ himself said at the Last Supper during the blessing of the bread and wine....”this is my body, take of it and eat it”....waiting for the symbolism experts to spout...3,2,1...just sayin’. Peace.
praying to whom?
They must be OLD!
Praying to whom?
“Our Lord, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name...”
That’s who.
My aunt was a nun. When I was young, maybe 8, I asked her why she didn’t work and pray at the same time...or just pray when it’s time to go to sleep but not for hours and hours every day. She basically told me to mind my own business.
The spiritual Olympians of The Church! God blesses them and through their prayers all of us.
she was simply being kind to an impudent 8 year old -
if you had never been dismissed properly like that before you were 8 then it was high time you had.
I wish they would pray that the Catholic Church would get out of the business of importing Muslims to the USA.
These nuns taught me in seventh grade. Sr. Mary John Berchman called me her “little pill” for many years. She was a survivor of the Japanese concentration camps in China where she was a missionary. They ate rats, mice, and maggots. A magnificent woman. Darned good teacher, too.
when I lived near LaCrosse the joke was that there was a parallel group down at the tavern called the Brothers of Perpetual Intoxication. And hey, it WAS Wisconsin...
“La Crosse-based Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration”
One of the worst pack of “habited” liberals in the U.S.A. Their order has been dying for decades. Death by liberalism, a suicide in other words.
See their golden chapel in LaCrosse before it’s one day sold off to some sect. https://www.fspa.org/content/chapel/tours-and-mass video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAsxq0NbIqM - you can seem them in their “business” attire glory
Cardinal Burke was Bishop of LaCrosse at one time.
Amen.
Well put.
Boy do you know zip about the Catholic Church.
If you do have questions you can go to Catholic.org. They have a question box for you to submit questions.
You can also see and read other questions asked and answered. I'm amazed at you asking that question, given your Oxford-ian name. You should have known that the Church doesn't do that.
The Catholic Church absolutely does that and the government pays them to do so.
Must be working....life expectancy has risen by about 30 years since they started.
The gov't. decides who comes in and it is headed by a muslim.
OUR government?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
THANKS for the good bellylaugh; I needed it.
