Catholicism was more careful and limited the promise to the after life, no-ones comeback with a warranty call.<BR/><BR/>The poll results make complete sense, as Poles are not that intense when it comes to religion, following tradition and habit is not the same as religious fervour. Catholism is identified with being Polish and inseparably linked with national identity thus the basis of church’s political strength.<BR/><BR/>The greatest treat to Catholism will be the steady improvement of living standards in Poland, which will see church attendance drop proportionately as a function of increased affluence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-19541645685322497872007-12-27T17:57:00.000+01:002007-12-27T17:57:00.000+01:00Well, I did say except for Christmas and Easter.Ev...Well, I did say except for Christmas and Easter.<BR/><BR/>Even then, we're still going through a reenactment of the guy getting persecuted, tortured, crucified, dying, and -- for joy --being resurrected and providing for our salvation. So there's some jolliness after a lot of really somber stuff.<BR/><BR/>And the somberness gets pretty tough to endure when the music sucks. I used to go to a church where the organist reminded me of Dracula. And most priests can't deliver a decent sermon if their lives depended on it. Also, I've never been big on droning and bleating and dragging the whole thing out in time and to ridiculous extremes of pomposity.<BR/><BR/>I think the RC Church is losing members for a lot of reasons. In the US, the churches that are gaining the most members are those evangelical denominations that feature giant TV screens where the worshippers can see themselves and even better ... celebrities of sorts.... and these churches are usually located in big shopping mall environs where there's lotsa parking. Maximum entertainment and convenience value. The less strain, the better. All the joy, none of the suffering.<BR/><BR/>So maybe the problem is what's happened to the way more and more people look at religion.<BR/><BR/>So, of course, in these times, the RC Church is going to have difficulty keeping folks engaged when the Mass is essentially the same thing over and over. <BR/><BR/>And there is more nonsense and bad stuff but I still consider myself RC. Then again, some folks might read what I just wrote and want to see me excommunicated.

The poll itself had asked a questionthat was idiotic. My younger brother an actual clergyman would have answered family first.<BR/><BR/>Most of us value our families first and foremost. The exception are the souless powermad types associated with disgusting utopian political movements like Trotskyism, Nazism, Jihadism, Racial Power Nuts and so forth.<BR/><BR/>We have seen societies where children rat out there parents, husbands rat out their wives. Even Ren's favorite Jews, orphaned their kids for a disgusting cause of Stalinism. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg served as Commie icons for decades in the USA.<BR/><BR/>The roots of this madness are mental illness, lack of morality, general stupidity, alienation, imagined elitism and envy. All things must be sacraficed for the case. Individualism, family and logic get tossed out the window for fealty to the cause.<BR/><BR/>It is time to leave the salons and <BR/>talk with regular people. The notion that family is more important than theology even amongst the religious should not be a surprise to anyone, other than those who are detached from reality <BR/>itself.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-20984110188608431752007-12-27T11:34:00.000+01:002007-12-27T11:34:00.000+01:00Opinion polls.

I studied these bastards for 5 years...</I><BR/><BR/>That's a really bad testimony for your school. <BR/><BR/>The fun part is that the poll was (apparently -- as the exact question is not given in the source) about what gives people most joy during Christmas. Of course people find time with their family more joyful than going to the church. This is a no-brainer. You don't go to church to have fun. <BR/><BR/>So, how you derive from this that for Poles Christmas has little religious meaning is beyond me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-32438915727062323482007-12-27T03:38:00.000+01:002007-12-27T03:38:00.000+01:00My friend told me, he had an argument with his Uni...My friend told me, he had an argument with his Unitarian wife, about how to explain Santa to their five year old son.

And you weren't just jerking us around with that headline? GDon't do that to me, heh BR? Yea, getting "bad" results is not in the interest of the guy paying for the survey. Well, yea, if you're taking money from Exxon, tobacco companies, et. al., you certainly don't want to give them "bad" survey results.<BR/><BR/>And why do you frame religiosity as being all about spending time and more time and still more time being bleatingly ritualistic in a church setting? <BR/><BR/>I also wonder about the insistence on a feud between religion and science. I'm sure the majority of religious folk have no feud with science. ISTM that only fundamentalists, religious and secular, have that problem.<BR/><BR/>And of course, religious institutions have to adjust and adapt. It's when they don't that they run into problems. When they start selling out to Exxon and the tobacco companies, though, that's when I'll call it quits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-21588880923642096572007-12-27T02:15:00.000+01:002007-12-27T02:15:00.000+01:00Isn't Christ's Mass a festival appropriated from p...Isn't Christ's Mass a festival appropriated from pagans?
