We're Catholics. We're supposed to be the "nice Christians" and lead by example. We're not supposed to judge or go out into public and beat people about the head with our opinions. We're not suppose to impose our beliefs on others, and yet this is what I see happening. My mother, my 50+ year old mother, was actually gonna go picket with a bunch of other people at the back entrance of a drugstore! Luckily my dad managed to talk her out of it.
This protesting stuff is not us! Its not what we're supposed to be about!
Instead of just hymnals or song-books we now have "Journey-song Books". WTF?!?! They changed a lot of the old songs and I don't like the way they're changing 'em. Its very subtle but its there. In "Prayer of Saint Francis" it used to be "make me a shadow of your peace", which sounds rather passive. Now its "make me a channel of your peace" which sounds a lot more aggressive to me. A lot of the other songs are the same way. I'm starting to freak out.
I'm definitely going to his "faith formation" thing with my mom next Sunday. Hopefully I'll be able to find out WTH is up. Something odd is happening and I don't like it. Not one single bit. I may be overreacting, but this whole thing is terrifying me. I smell change on the wind.

It kinda sounds like it already. Heard the new changes? Now we're supposed to stand, and not kneel after we recieve communion, no more holding hands for the Our Father, now we just raise them up. Small stuff like that.
Eh.
It's not something people hear about.

Oh yeah, and my imaginary friend could kick your imaginary friend's ass, and then rape his mother.

lol, I think it goes back to my old Free Form RP days, where whenever someone would do something that would warrant an 'Anime Sweatdrop' reaction or an "Uh..." I'd just do "..." [ 10-06-2003: Message edited by: OtakuPenguin ]

Vorago obviously shouldn't have said:
Well hey, if it gets the priests out in the public and away from secluded little boys, I say all the better, go ahead and picket. Because in the end, it's for the children.
rather than children getting it in the end.

I dunno. I'm actually thinking of going against the Church and taking a more supportive stance towards birth control.
Watching you post will do that.
Your quest will ultimately lead you to Rome, where you'll have to kill Pope John Paul II, though not before his frail body disintegrates and he transforms into a titanic, demonic beast with black wings. Go to the bathroom before you do so, because he'll pontificate on the meaning for ten minutes after you strike the deathblow.
You might want to ask your parents if they have any old swords lying around. Odds are, one of their fathers or grandfathers left a sword to them, and it's just been collecting dust in a basement while they waited for you to come of age.
And remember: It's only permanent if it happens in a cutscene.
