And to note that many churches offer happy, clappy entertainment as opposed to worship. What is worship? Scripture teaches us that it is sacrifice. As in the sacrafice of the Mass.
David Howard
As a leader in Catholic RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation), these past five/six years has seen an abundance of under 30's seeking and wanting other than the modern culture. Catholicism offers them more of the supernatural through the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist that Protestantism done away with. Candidates state they want themselves and their young children to be anchored in spiritual and present truth that much of our culture offers little. Especially in the young men that present.
MARC WHITE
It takes several ingredients to bake a cake. Those ingredients are found in different proportions around the world. If we move some cakes from one place to another the net total number of cakes in the world remains the same. If we instead move the ingredients the number of total cakes that can be baked will change. Crimes require perpetrators and victims. If we pair them up then we will increase crime.
