✝️ Church Sticky Thread 🕊️
This is turning into the "Church Sticky Thread". I'll sticky it every Sunday.
Livestreaming isn’t church.
Eat His flesh
Drink His blood
But for someone who isn't (or can't) attend, why isn't this a good alternative?
It’s not an alternative
There’s no such thing as “cannot attend”
Tell me a reason you can’t attend and I will explain how it’s a lie and you CAN attend
Secondly
Christ commanded us to eat His body and drink His blood
The only place this happens is in person, at the mass, following the exact same liturgy as the early Church
Go ahead and listen to preachers
but it doesn’t count as worship
Look you're right that we are to have some body which is a communal Church in our lives at a local level, but:
Uh, the fuck???
I guess this is what I should expect when talking to a Catholic.
Doing it in a state of grace is what the church teaches (go to confession and be absolved by Chrust through the authority He gave to the church to forgive and retain sins for all time until He comes again (the gates of hell shall not prevail against His church)), and the early church got together at least weekly. Communion is true worship: the sacrifice at Calvary was once and for all time and transcends time, and at the mass, we are present and the altar and the lamb that was slain is on the altar and heaven and earth meet
This is what the apostles believed and taught
