[QUOTE="an anonymous guest, post: 326542"] Tooner: In Texas it will be more likely you get hit with blue ice instead of lightning but keep your reconciliation up to date 'you know not the day or the hour.' We all used to get the last rites in IS before we ran the weekly billing cycle. I teach Catholic Education to teenagers (why? I don't know) and we talk about the rules of the Church all the time. They were derived for peasants in Medeival times, of course. The Church lets everything age for 500 years before its ready for the parishioners. Here's the rules, but since Vatican II, your conscience is your ultimate guide): 1. Go to church on Sundays and Holy Days. (St. Paddy's Day is NOT a Holy Day) 2. Go to Reconciliation (confession, penance) once a year. 3. Go to Communion once a year at least, during the Easter Time (Lent to 40 days after Easter). 4. Contribute to the Support of the Church ( God has everything except money.) 5. Observe the days of fasting and absinence (used to be no meat on Fridays, now its certain days). In our diocese, Newark, NJ, you are confirmed a Catholic at age 14-15. Although I am Catholic, I don't like the church's position on women not being priests, priests getting married, and they should stay out of everybody's pants on reproduction issues, but its a lot more good than bad. I also believe that any real path of spiritual righteousness leads to God so no 'holier than thou' from this old UPSer. Go UPS! P71 [/QUOTE]
