We could have had a catholic wedding, but I refused to say the things the priest was going to have my say. One thing I remember was, “I promise to raise my children in the holy Catholic Church.” Wrong, ain’t going to happen. My wife at the time was already enjoying going to the baptist church with me.
Plus, my knees couldn’t handle being catholic.😀
I'll take "Genuflect, not a chance! for 20 arthritis points Alex!
I hear ya.
I remained seated when I attended the one and only Catholic mass with hubby when he was still my finance.
I learned a lot though listening to the congregational response to the priest giving the homily.
Mainly, thank you God for not letting me be born into the RCC. It's incredibly pagan in tradition and is as many have said, a platform for the continuation of the office of Caesar and the Roman Senate. All of whom in their day generations ago thought Rome would rule the world for all time. And through the RCC, found a way to do that given the RCC congregation world wide is the most populace and powerful church in the world. As well as is one of the, if not the, smallest states (Vatican City) in the world, ruled by a dictator who oversees the largest number of "citizens" (of the church) on earth.
Rome, got its wish.
Caligula is still spinning knowing that one. Little cinders exploding all around him due to those RPM's achieved in his rapid rotation of shock.
Serves him right.
