I take umbrage to your statement. If you cared to elaborate I may be able to allay your displeasure.

I haven't seen Angela's Ashes, but I believe that the possibility of confessions is one element of the Catholic church's success. Some people want to talk about what bothers them, and unlike a therapy session, a confession is free of charge. But what makes those things bother them is the conditioning, the brainwashing and dogma the church is full of and that is put into them starting when they are children, which the movie shows. An angry, assholeish god fearing fire and brimstone mean teacher who makes the young boys eat pieces of newspaper to have them practice communion. It is an oppressive atmosphere. Is it the movie based on the book by Frank McCourt? Still haven't seen it or read the book; but I read the Wikipedia entry on it. Doesn't sound like the type of movie I'd enjoy watching; but the Church seems to be one of the protagonist's lesser problems. EDIT: Apparently it is the Frank McCourt story. Probably too depressing for my taste.

Grammar certainly doesn't seem to matter to some, truth.

Your quote should be self evident, as I am a Roman Catholic. You know very well that Catholics do not engage in idolatry. Eating fish or fasting on Friday, although outdated is just a healthy discipline.

Not really. Many assumptions about what most lay Catholics believe just aren't so around here. I don't know a single Catholic who says he or she is against birth control for example. I can't even recall a priest speaking out against it. Oh nice, I like the stories I hear where Christians are becoming progressive, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from? I grew up in the Capital District of NY (North of Albany, South of Saratoga). Now I live close to Lake George.

No it is not self evident, and I was not accusing anyone of engaging in idolatry, I was saying I don't really think that the idea of idolatry or eating fish on a friday (not a healthy discipline practice catholicism.org/why-do-catholics-eat-fish-on-friday-2.html ) is really important to progressive Christians who are more concerned with the nature of God™ and understanding him as opposed to mans rules in his name. So you may take umbrage with my words, but you would be doing so out of your own desire to feel offended rather than any rational feeling of insult garnered from my words.

I guess that is the USA, I have very little knowledge of the geography of the USA, but it sounds like you have nice people where you are.

Those are your words, true? They are in your response about Roman Catholics, True? Stop blaming me for my humanity and my feelings when your objective was to mock, True? You always pull that nonsense, but lack the SPINE to say that to a Black person, Jew or a Muslim. TRUE?

I explained myself quite clearly (fuck you erjen), please stop projecting, the only thing you have correct in your set of "truths" is that these were my words. You are taking umbrage based on your own misinterpretation, and I would appreciate it if you just kept it to yourself if you are going to only yell your fantasies at me.

The fasting not eating meat isn't even church law. It's nothing more than tradition.

It was Church law before the changes of Vatican II. You may have been too young to remember. This is the current Lenten Dictum:
Every person 14 years of age or older must abstain from meat (and items made with meat) on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all the Fridays of Lent. Every person between the age of 18 and 59 (beginning of 60th year) must fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These are the older laws; traditionalcatholic.net/Tradition/Information/Laws_of_Fast_and_Abstinence.html

How am I yelling at you? I'm in NYC and you are somewhere in NZ.
Trust me, never put the words fantasies, me and you in the same sentence. It is not a misinterpretation. Then you should be more sensitive regarding another poster's religion.
Subject closed and move on kid.

The fasting not eating meat isn't even church law. It's nothing more than tradition. I should have said it wasn't law based on scripture.

Thank you. I do not have training in Sacred Theology. Although sometimes it would be useful.
