What difference does it make anyway where you go, as long as you go. It's very probable that someone is comeing from outside the area I reside in to attend the Parish in my neighborhood. So it's all balancing out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-10351443435736048002014-03-31T15:49:00.395-05:002014-03-31T15:49:00.395-05:00And On Wisconsin!And On Wisconsin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-88941349050939572272014-03-31T15:47:30.262-05:002014-03-31T15:47:30.262-05:00Well I don't carry a knife and I'm not loo...Well I don't carry a knife and I'm not looking to stab anyone, maybe I'm just naive.

That being said, if I read your statement blindly (i.e., "I would recommend letting the Vicar General of the Diocese of Madison know of Mr. Yanke's truancy at once so that he can be interdicted"), I would think that a cafeteria leftist were being quoted, and not a faithful person like yourself. Such mockery and belittlement is often a tool used by those who don't want to see Vatican II faithfully implemented, and, thus, all the more relevant my warning that the knife can cut both ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-6694300331621942502014-03-31T15:26:29.728-05:002014-03-31T15:26:29.728-05:00LOL, this really struck a nerve!

The topic is what makes a Catholic parish attractive and desirable to young Catholics like us. I think the contrary position to this piece would be to find vibrant parishes who do not follow the liturgical traditions of the Church(I seriously believe there's probably some out there). I would recommend letting the Vicar General of the Diocese of Madison know of Mr. Yanke's truancy at once so that he can be interdicted. Seriously though, "As a general rule" - Yes, as a <i>general</i> rule. Certainly the tradition of territorial churches are there, we've discussed it out here many times, but let me ask this hypothetical, if a known sex offender is pastor at the local parish am I still required to bring my children there and attend services even after I have alerted the proper authorities? <br /><br />http://badgercatholic.blogspot.com/2012/10/guest-post-consumer-catholicism.htmlBadger Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389147035157025445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-4405773663849740002014-03-31T14:53:04.775-05:002014-03-31T14:53:04.775-05:00If the opposition is labeled country club Catholic...If the opposition is labeled country club Catholics, might one not just as much refer to some at St. Mary's as boutique parishioners?

If their spiritual needs are not being met in their territorial parish, have they talked with their pastor about the situation? We have an international priest in our parish...it is somewhat difficult to understand him...and people are leaving to attend Mass elsewhere. Is that right? Is our pastor being treated with dignity and respect? Are the people who are leaving being charitable? Is the Body of Christ being built up through their actions? Is parish shopping an appropriate activity for a Catholic to engage in?
