Our new PP is Polish, one of John Paul's own, capital C conservative. Bit of a culture clash developing with us half hearted liberal Aussie catholics.

It would probably be worse if we could understand half of what he said through his thick Polish accent.

Went out in Biblical times (St Paul and the Numidian charioteer?).

Hell of a strange way to pay for a lift... then again, hitchhiking is a strange business.

IIRC, Catholic confirmation consists of the full creed (Do you reject Satan? Etc), getting a little oil rubbed on the head (presumably to make it easier to insert up your own back passage) and then a "normal" Catholic service.

Eating Fish on Fridays was a political decision to aid the fishiing industry it agian has nothing to do with scripture

**Alexander's Horse** · September 11, 2003, 09:43

**Ecthy** · September 11, 2003, 10:28

So anyway, BK, you're considering moving from anabaptist to papacy. You have already moved from Anglican (the Protestant version of Catholicism) to Mennonite.

If you're looking for spiritual freedom of discourse, aren't you heading in the wrong direction?

I know a really nice Scientologist in Vancouver that I'm sure I could convince to mentor you ....

and give you electric shocks which probably would make you bleed from your willy

**Ecthy** · September 12, 2003, 06:05

My thoughts exactly, AH

I don't think I ever looked for spiritual freedom, but rather a church where God seemed present. I've seen that in my Mennonite church, and not in the Anglican church that I left. I wanted a faith that I could call my own.

As for my current desire, it has more to do with my girlfriend, and her family. I have seen how much joy she has had growing up in a Catholic family, that I do not want to pull her away from that should the time come for us to make a decision.

I don't know if it would be easier for us for me to stay in my church or to join hers, but that is something I want to find out.

I've gone to the first session, some very interesting testimonies.
