Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
It's seeming like Mass is a weekly duty but communion is an annual duty. Is that about the size of it? I don't think MaxPC said at all that communion is a weekly duty did he? I don't know how else to parse this: The obligation to attend Sunday Mass and take Holy Communion weekly became Church law i...

Ken, your snarkometer is in need of recalibration.

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
I’ll guess that they throw up a temporary bridge within 8 months. And then a new permanent one will take longer than…I’ll guess 4 years. I'm not an engineer and therefore not an expert on any of this. But I'm not imagining how they could put up a temporary bridge for a span this wide. Temporary bri...

I didn't check the movable chairs, although we do have more than one (on the platform, and to fill in the wheelchair spaces when not in use for that purpose).

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
OJ, here is the teaching from the Catechism of the Catholic Church which is an official teaching document of the Magisterium. I excised the relevant bits but I would also caution that this excerpt is also a part of a larger section and should be read in the context of the whole which is far too lon...

Re: recommendations for cars/suv
When it comes to something decent for a low price, I think something like a Chevy Cruze works well. My son is an auto body tech and collects random parts and parts cars for a certain model year range, and has restored a number of wrecked Cruzes often with mostly parts he has on hand. Parts are reas...

Re: Books on Anabaptist History and Theology
"Polyorigin" is not a familiar term to me, and google eyes couldn't help me out. Could you put that into different words for me? The theory that Anabaptism had many origins, and is in fact ancient, tracing perhaps to the apostles. Books like Brodbent's "The Pilgrim Church" and K...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
MaxPC, weekly communion wasn’t instituted until fairly recently, mostly due to pressure from Protestants doing it. I believe Pope Leo made the change in the early 1900s. The obligation to attend Sunday Mass and take Holy Communion weekly became Church law in the 4th century. This blog seems to say ...

Re: Spring 2024: Tell us about your church!
We have everything except ushers seating people. Some have self-assigned seats; the rest just sort of fill in the empty spaces. If a visitor looks confused, someone will be there to help, not necessarily someone whose job description says they should.
