So you shouldn’t see the church as the important place, but the mass as the important happening

I'd give just about anything for even a traditional low mass.. all we have here is guitar/EM-laden modernism

That reminds me - what I did catch of the homily today, between the screams, was that the mass had *zero* to do with the bible reading. It was basically a 30 minute long (15 minute homily, 15 minutes after communion) advertisement for a feeding hungry children charity

an admirable goal, but the homily isn't the place for that imho..

That’s not usual mass but ok

Change parish

i love sound of babies crying

if your parish aint crying its dying

read the day's bible readings on your own

and keep a printout of the mass handy

^

@Karu Where are you located?

5 pm mass today for me lol. Prepare for the boomer shit

Imagine being annoyed by crying babies and not being able to hear the homily. Sounds great tbh...

Pray during the homily instead, the rosary is allowed to be prayed during mass.

Bruh I was going to buy a cross and go to church today but my mum spilt boiling water on her legs

To be honest Wrath is right, unless the priest is based the homily is usually some leftist or pro-teen thing

It’s best to remain in prayer

I would rather have 15 minutes of silent prayer, than hear a fucking homily tbh

Again, depends on the priest

My parish, definitely, priests are a bunch of memes

Act like jews for money and always pull some dumb homily

Even at my Maronite rite Church it's still super fucking shit tbh

Like, the mass is better than NO but the homily is the same garbage as usual

At least you don’t get the “lol teens are always right don’t listen to elders” thing

Or lowkey protestantism “it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in Mary” things

Would love the Monsignor to secretly attend one of these

I got the "The Rosary isn't Catholic and specifically Catholic saints aren't Catholic" speech though

<:eksdee:558283291292336138>

Ah yes, this Catholic saint from the 1800s? Can't say he's Catholic

No bitch, they both Catholic. Everyone else can fuck off if they don't wanna sign up

my priest is incredibly based

today's homily was "the wages of sin is death" and that it's either eternal glory, or death after death

That's pretty busted though, the Homily is always what I'm most excited about when I go to a mass. Everything else is done with an air of going through the motions to fulfill the obligations of occasional attendees, that's the 15 minutes you get to hear whether or not there's any life there or if it's just boomer nonsense...

communion is the best part no doubt

Best part is definitely consecration and communion

The funny thing is the homilies here are usually at least okay

this is the first time I've seen one wholesale hijacked

lol homily the best part

prot no doubt

i wonder what St. Gregory the Great would think seeing his Liturgy so massacred by the current priests
