bhrhrahraa Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 [quote name='sacredheartandbloodofjesus' date='10 December 2009 - 01:56 PM' timestamp='1260471365' post='2017638'] You must not ever go to a Catholic Church and meet with the community that goes to Mass daily. [/quote] Actually, I have 2 Churches only a few feet from my house. One is right in front of me and the other is to the left side. I barely see anyone go in or out except on Sundays. And I'm very well aware that people who are into Catholicism or whatever exist, just that I have never met one face to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't know all that many, and I'm not exactly uninvolved with my Faith. On the other hand, I know a heck of a lot of people about whom I could not say "that person does not practice our faith the way they should", simple because I don't know them well enough.

Varg Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 [quote name='Socrates' date='10 December 2009 - 01:58 PM' timestamp='1260471513' post='2017642'] If everyone followed the Church's moral teachings regarding chastity, there would be very few deaths from AIDS or other such stds. Providing condoms has done very little to alleviate the scourge of AIDs. [/quote] Prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, of course, this is not bound to just one faith.

I hear that there are some down in the middle of Rome. They call it Vatican City. It's this wacky place that's almost entirely inhabited by priests, and they're actually a separate country in the middle of a normal sized country. Just crazy stuff. You should go visit. I hope to in the next seven or eight years. Edited December 10, 2009 by Nihil Obstat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
