Since the Vatican doesn't seem to care anymore about bringing souls into the Church, the average person will, as you say, merely become more apathetic to the whole business of saving their immortal souls.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment.Aged parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217229048176272954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-382340192664028882016-06-16T04:35:43.053-05:002016-06-16T04:35:43.053-05:00The tragic apathy that Miss Laura Evans experience...The tragic apathy that Miss Laura Evans experienced can only be expected to get worse, save for some divine intervention.<br />Surely, Pope Francis telling Catholics that “proselytism is pious nonsense”, will add incrementally to the widespread apathy, even opposition from within the church, to efforts to bring all mankind into the Church.<br />Compounding this are many other factors, amongst which is the idea that all, irrespective of their religious beliefs or lack thereof or of their behavior, will enter Heaven.<br />Claude Newbury<br />South Africa<br />Claudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-70344811222117803002016-06-10T18:05:25.687-05:002016-06-10T18:05:25.687-05:00Anon@5:45pm:

I will hav...Anon@5:45pm:<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />I will have to disagree with you on one point: Miss Evans' experience is, alas, all too common. I have been hearing similar horror stories likes hers for literally decades. In older and better days the reception of converts was done in a much better way, without the need of RCIA.<br /><br />Your suggestion that people may need to shop around to find a more willing priest I thought was very poignant. And isn't it a sad commentary on the state of the Church that someone has to navigate all kinds of obstacles before he can find a priest who will welcome him into the one, true Church?<br /><br />Thanks again for your comment.Aged parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217229048176272954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-43709152097399377512016-06-10T17:45:48.258-05:002016-06-10T17:45:48.258-05:00Ms. Evans's experience seems pretty weird.
Ho...Ms. Evans's experience seems pretty weird. <br />How did she find out so many things from her one single experience to be able to say that "RCIA has to go" ?<br />The process of receiving new Catholics into the Church should perhaps be improved, but not scrapped.<br />Some Catholic Churches and priests are better, and some are worse. I've met many wonderful people even in Novus Ordo. You just need to shop around.<br />Perhaps Ms. Evans has retained a little of her initial repulsion towards Christianity, which made her always see just the empty part of the glass re Catholicism.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637864682999679595.post-25109490440632519472016-06-09T13:21:43.572-05:002016-06-09T13:21:43.572-05:00Here is a sample of the problem.

I finally just yanked them from the program and found a faithful priest to actually examin the catechumens, instruct them and three weeks later bring them into the Catholic Church. It was not at all hard to find a good priest. I just looked for the Catholic Mass. The real one. The computer made it easy. Though I did have to pass over a recommended "good" priest who denied the need for baptism saying "There is no hurry. We believe in a merifful God." Ah, the deniers of God's justice! If only they could have gone back in time to correct Our Lord. All that baptizing was so unnecessary! <br /><br />Oh how I loathe the novus ordo religion. But oh how I did also enjoy mocking their un-Catholic RCIA program and saving two souls from their evil grasp.<br /><br />Say No to the NO!noreply@blogger.com
