Do you want your Mass said in church or a cafeteria?

The title of this post may be shocking and considered by some even sacrilegious. However I contend that is exactly some (I say most) Catholics picture of their faith. in the western world! The Catholic faith is a all in one package. you don't take away from it not do you add to it. In the posts starting in the next day or so I will be talking allot about the Mass and our actions before,during and after. Most Priests would not dare bring up controversial issues for fear that they would lose people out of the Church. So today's faith is sort of a live and let live policy. God however never intended for this to be a fact. He denounced the Pharisee as well as the Sanhedrin for not living their faith and making it into a pill they could swallow. Sadly for many of that time it was a pill of damnation. Many people today view and treat their religion like a cafeteria line. "hmmm lets see veiling,nope don't want any of that yuck! okaaay oh look there Charismatic belief certainly give me a doublee portion of that. Now lets see Fish on Fridays ??!!! well okay maybe a little bit but only during Lent. Eucharistic adoration nah trying to cut calories. Missing Mass?? Well.....it is football season so give me some of that oh and the same goes for NASCAR season!" We pick and choose what we will and won't believe in our own faith or we are not dedicated to get the real scoop on this. Christ created his Church as well as his covenant with us from the ground up. He never said "Go ahead pick and choose what you will we will add up the points and if you believe enough you will get a front row seat in Heaven. No wonder we lose so many of our faith to churches like the Pentecostal faith offers, or they just stay home because they are disgusted with the whole thing. By not telling the truth in our Masses and being honest enough to lay it all out there indirectly many are brought to Mortal Sin by our hands and when I say our hands I mean the Church as a whole. Allot of this begins in RCIA and is reinforced by Priest who will not be open and honest with their flock. I will not say that this is going on in all churches for this we may all be thankful. But it is a poison that Satan is spreading amongst us and we need to see it and fight it. This is difficult because many do not want to leave the comfort zone they created. So my Brothers and Sisters it is time to step out of line and accept our faith for what it is. We either take the whole thing by faith or none of it. It is time for our Church to take a stand and become the moral backbone it once was. I pray that God in his endless wisdom and mercy will point us to where we need to be as a Church.
