It is no fault of theirs if a man turns away from God, if a man does not pursue him.

It is their duty to bring them to God, but what might they do if they're simply rebuffed?

The majority of rigor, and legalism as well as long held tradition within the church, is to prevent such a thing from happening.

The ceremonies, the sacraments, the traditions,

they must be actively pursued in order to help cultivate not only the idea, but in this earthly prison of ours, *a visage* of Christ.

Protestantism seems nice, it seems good, and to a large degree it is within the traditions of northern Europeans, as well as Americans to partake in it. However we have seen the subsequent death of our own spirituality,

and protestants themselves have fallen to chaos,

and they have become mild.

There was a poem written by a man where Christ comes back, and is in a Victorian era city,

and he was so overcome with woe at the lack of spirituality,

that he longed to die and suffer again.

I think we're there today.

And I think the Catholic faith is the only means of saving us from such a miserable existence.

I am going to a Wels Lutheran church because they are traditional. They don't even allow women preachers or women in any authority at all, LOL. The preachers have to go to 8 years of college and learn Hebrew and Greek. They work to stay true to the word. I grew up in the Southern Baptist and that is literally like a pop up church - the worst of protestantism. I don't think they even have to be formally educated to start a baptist church.

Yes that sounds significantly better than most.

There are 4 types of Lutheran, from traditional, to totally gay.

I am in the most traditional (and smallest) group.

That is mildly depressing.

What're their views on contraception?

Yes, everyone goes to the gay one.

That's a good question. I don't know as it is not relevant to me. I am old 😃 I will look it up though.

I appreciate it.

I will see if I can find a formal statement.

I can't find anything more on the topic right now.

It's fine. I appreciate the dedication.
