you_know_what_you

Can you expand a bit on what you mean by that unusual phrasing: "I believe with the Church" and how you feel that is linked to tending not to have differences of opinion on matters of doctrine?

What if you found out in confession?

What's a typical weekday look like for you?

Father James: thanks for doing this!

What are your thoughts on the pastoral care of people who are really and truly pained by what they perceive to be a lack of reverence and/or a focus primarily on the Body of Christ congregated, as opposed to a focus primarily on God, in liturgical activity?

I often find these Catholics tend to be the ones most marginalized by people who have a different liturgical bent than them, and yet these people truly do express hurt and sadness at what they see going on.

What do you do? What do you suggest we do?

Thank you for this. Today I ask for your prayers for them in particular, and be assured of mine for you: toward better understanding (of these laity to clergy and community, and clergy and community to these laity).
