If there were no Catholic church in your area

[Maria]

Well, if there were no masses being said in Montreal, I'd probably spend the weekends/Sundays with my relatives in Ottawa. (Depending on what speed you drive, and which relatives, it can certainly be more than 3 hours.)

I think we prefer the Orthodox masses because they're not deliberately out of union.

Wow!! I grew up as an Evangelical (Baptist) and my grandfather was a Southern Baptist minister.
I didn't realize our churches were so evil! Many Baptists around the world are serving as missionaries
and others have died for the name of Christ. Indeed in Nagaland, India, the population is overwhelmingly Baptist and seminaries are training many locals to evangelize Christ to neighboring Indian provinces... Praise God!!!

If there were no Catholic Church for a three hour drive.... I would attend the best Evangelical Church nearby (even if Baptist! ), attend Orthodox mass frequently and drive at least once every three months to the Catholic Church. I would stay FAR away from the sedevacantists. They strike me as the kind of people who would want to burn Baptists at the stake!!!! (It's this attitude which lead to the death of Tyndale, who gave the English speaking people the written Word of God.)

I'd probably move soon to attend a good orthodox evangelically focussed Catholic Church. I've even thought of moving to Madison to fellowship with the Evangelical Catholic folks [url="http://www.evangelicalcatholic.org/"]http://www.evangelicalcatholic.org/[/url] .

Hi HS_Dad i assume you are somehow related to HS_Mom.



i know some sedevecantists. they do not burn baptists at the stake. they are in schism, not heresy (like the Orthodox, or baptist), and their masses are valid, so it would be "better" to go there.

It is my understanding that the Orthodox are in Schism, and are not heretics.

I have a hard time even comprehending that sort of situation...
Within an hour's drive, I can reach over 20 Catholic parishes...

Pretty much my situation as well.

You guys are not allowed to move for the next three years. May 2009 is the earliest you're allowed to consider moving.

Don't worry. We [i]aren't[/i] moving...

they are in schism, but they are also heretics:

ie they deny all dogma defined AFTER the schism, therefore they are anathema.

Thankyou for clearing that up.

"Thought" as in how one might think about what it would be like to travel anywhere in the world if money is no object.... I hunger for fellowship, but hey as long as I can get my "fix" talking to a young orthodox priest, I'm all right for another month or two..... Plus every so often Cardinal Dulles writes something that is exactly right!
