(I’ve never been catholic but here goes)“Bless me father for I have sinned.”“And what are those sins?”“I committed sloth and avarice.”(sigh) “You’re the 37th person this week to pull that one. Now get the hell out of here before I slap your hand with a ruler.”
Christopher…if God doesn’t ‘give you credit’ for aiming to understand other people…EVEN by going to their churches…then what was THE GUY doing when he said…“Love your God with your whole heart, mind, and soul, and your neighbor(!) as yourself…” and that was the Whole Deal?
Maybe it is a way to get extra credit. Altho really, I’m in no hurry to go to mass, etc. Not this weekend…
