Since when has the attitude changed. Why, when I'm not in a state of grace and I stay kneeling during the Eucharist because I'm not worthy to receive the actual body of Christ, do I get strange looks from others? Why am I the only one doing this? This means everyone else in the house of God is in a state of grace...I doubt it.
Why am I one of just a few that go to confession before mass? So the other 100 people are perfect and only me and the other two people that I am ever waiting with to go into the confessional are sinners? I doubt it.
Since when does a church of 100 people need FOUR Eucharist ministers? Why are so many just as happy to receive from non consecrated hands? Would it be that big of a deal to have to be in the church for an extra 5 or 10 minutes. Ohh no! Wouldn't want to be in the beautiful Cathedral 55 minutes instead of 45! Then our days would be shot.
Since when was it strange to receive the Eucharist on the tongue? Why are priests shocked by this? Why do they go to put the Eucharist in my every single time even while my hands stay folded. God forbid someone take the Eucharist on their tongue while on there knees. People look at you like your doing something bad.
Since when has it been okay to walk past the alter or the TABERNACLE and not show respect? NO need to stop and genuflect or bow. Maybe people don't know you're supposed to do that...but, then again, one would think the people would notice others doing this. One would think they would see the spot to kneel and the railing and think maybe it is there for a reason. Why don't follow the old saying "when is Rome" since that is what everyone does while receiving the Eucharist right? We don't want to kneel down in respect because we might get looked at funny.
Since when don't people need to be reminded of the rules? Are we scared to offend people? Why on Easter and Christmas is it okay for everyone to walk up and receive? Would it be such a bad thing to remind those "Easter and Christmas Catholics" they cannot come up?
The problem is people don't even know this. They don't even know when they are allowed to receive the Eucharist, let alone what is in the Bible. Why aren't people reminded that they must have at least a one hour fast before the Eucharist? Why aren't people reminded that if they miss Mass and don't confess then they are in a state of sin? Why aren't people reminded that they must confess their sins before receiving?
This is serious stuff! This is people receiving JESUS CHRIST! The only hope for our salvation.

Then, once people are informed of these things they make excuses like ohh Jesus didn't mean that or Jesus made a mistake. I have news for you...Scripture is TRUTH. Jesus does NOT make mistakes. People say ohh if Jesus came around today he would have said it was okay to let women be Priests. I got news for you...NO HE WOULDN'T! God is timeless. He has already seen your life, my life, this post...he has seen it all.
This all goes back to one of the many terrible "isms." Christian Liberalism. What a terrible thing it has done to the church.
The baby boomer generation as a whole has tried to ruin the Church with liberalism. Luckily there is a new generation of Catholics who are attracted to the truth. Not by me, but by everyone who loves the truth, we can fix this. Lets go back to the way things should be!

However religious I may not be, I still can't believe people have the nerve to do things like this... You bother go to church but don't put any effort into the religion itself. It's like turning your back on what you thought you believed in.
