I do enjoy the solemnity of the catholic mass, to be in the prescence of something awesome, superior, wondrous, but thats not the whole picture. We are created in his image, so if i must presume we are alike.

That in the swirlpool of as holes, you, griff, oldboy, dogsea blue black, that you would constantly adore me then i would find it odious, and of course the difference between you and god, and the afore mentioned and me will be as wide.

And in my boredom id be getting the cards out and and the red wine, i had a cracking bottle the other night. I agree that same s ec marriages are beyond the pale, that it does go against a natural law, the law of procreation, without that we are all sunk. Having said that, nature produces such when there is overcrowding.

All i ask in a mass is that some of it is about real life, about people in the congregation, spirituality, awareness of god working in their lives, experiences of miraculous happenings, they are everywhere, interpretation of scripture, its so advanced its needed. Solemnity on its own is hard.

Confession is needed, its helps mental health, it develops insight. Having said that, most who go to confession see it as a purge, then do it all again.
