You believe that the Holy Communion will cure you of viruses, cancer, and illnesses? That's good. And if it doesn't - what then? Oh! Then there's Mina's backup plan: It wasn't God's will.
What frustrates me in all this is the audacity in which you w…
You are testing the Lord here.. this is nothing about faith. That's spiritual arrogance.Your faith is so good, you are mocking someone?? really?? That is the fruit of faith?
Your perspective is equally as worrying:
You are suggesting that anyone who has the holy communion is automatically immune from the virus because that's what the Holy Communion does?
How arrogant. So you may be infected, yet you will still have the…
Mina, I find your logic and rationale absolutely dangerous. I have no idea how you ended up as a Church servant, but your logic is mind boggingly dangerous, and you should not be given any position in the Church.
Yes, the Church has stopped all lit…
@minatasgeel,
I have said nothing wrong. All I've said is that when having the Holy Communion, we will have to share the spoon - correct? Is that not a danger for the virus.
Then I get responses saying that I'm at fault here because this is the Bod…
Oh really? So if someone with the virus partakes of this, then the person drinking from the same spoon would have absolutely no issues??
What about those with cancer?? Will it cure anyone with cancer?
@ophadece,You're a smart fellow. I hope you understand the difference between "Give each other a Holy Kiss" - and standing in the same pew as 100's of other people, and grocery shopping.
So, in grocery shopping: Only 2 people are allowed in the stor…
@ophadece,
I think it is God's will that we go to Church. It is depressing to be at home and not go to Church. I admit that.
This isn't a war against religion, @ophadece. They are simply measures to curb a disease that spreads so quickly and easily…
Guys,
I really think you ought to read this:

You cannot go to church. The virus carrier will not know he is carrying a virus. It may take 5 to 10 days for symptoms to show. When it shows, he/she wou…
@ophdece,
Im not sure what your point is: When the Church was threatened by ISIS a few years back, we still attended mass. But a virus where we could be killed and then go off and harm others is just irresponsible.
We need to think at how we can ce…
Well, I sort of said the same thing: if the church's balcony was estimated to be weak, no matter how many people wanted to attend mass, it would be irresponsible for a priest to let people use the balcony. It has to be fixed 1st.
Safety 1st.
im not too sure about Ophadece: The church has to be socially responsible. It cannot go and willingly do a liturgy that unwittingly puts people's lives at risk. It cannot do that, so Mina's point is valid. The way he phrased it may be wrong, but the…
Hi MinaWhat do you mean if you are lucky? Are public or private gatherings not prohibited in the states? In France, and Europe in general, all public gatherings are prohibited:
* No church services* No shops* Not even allowed in the streets..

They are seeing the person behind their parent's back. Does this sound like they are they are trying to please God and love their neighbour????
Your advice is making a mockery of the Holy Sacrement of Baptism!!!
Mabsoota,Yes, we should bring people to the Church whether our romantic hopes fail or succeed, indeed, but this isn't a case of bringing someone to the Church for evangelisation.
This is literally a case of throwing your precious stones before swin…
Sorry mabsoota, but there is something bothering me about your post
Let's just say for argument's sake, that the guy she liked was muslim. Would you also be ok for him to take her to a mosque in the hope that allah makes the girl he likes muslim???…
The book of his life story is in a series called "Climax of Divine Love Series" - but what makes these books unique is the author describes miracles that happened to her with that particular saint.

I just wanted to add a few notes here:
Even though a priest may be "liberal" and baptise anyone you want because he likes you, it doesn't necessarily mean he is following the official teachings of the Church.
We had one particular gentleman, whom I …
Whether church a does hymns better than church b, is all subjective. Its just opinion. I didnt know i had to be expert to appreciate the amazing things produced by churches in the USA.
