Guest Aluigi Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Today in history class, my teacher (who is a Catholic) (oh yeah, and a nutty socialist, it's kinda funny) mentioned something about how Kerry is Catholic. well, I laughed out loud, and we got into a discussion and I said, no Kerry is not a Catholic in good standing because of his stance on abortion. and somehow we got into this canon law thing, i prolly mentioned cannon 950 or somethin like that, but he said, yeah but Canon law also says if you miss 3 masses you have to go through catechesis again. I asked him if it was 1983 or 1917 that said that, and he had no clue, i guess he didn't even know there was a new one or something (funny story, he's the craziest mix you'll ever find! a socialist liberal who's also kinda pre-vatican ii, but when he's in croatia he's a nazi! LOL) anyway, can anyone find me what the heck he's talking about??!!! i know it's objectively a mortal sin to miss mass, but i'm pretty sure there's no specifications about 3 masses and you're out or something...

qfnol31 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I researched all the instances of "Mass" and didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popestpiusx Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 It's definately not in the 1983 code. I have never seen nor heard of such a thing from the 1917 Code either, but I would have to look again to give a sure answer. Catholic socialist huh? Graham Greene fan, perhaps?

StColette Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I've searched all through the 1983 Code and everywhere else online and came up with nothing, I would love to know where he came up with this. God Bless, Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cure of Ars Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 This made me curious. You have to ask you teacher where he got this idea. It will be interesting to find out where this notion came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
