I Went To A Catholic Mass Yesterday And What A Waste of Time!

    The priest acted as if he was the reason why people were there. He was about 80 and totally disinterested in the affair although he married the deceased and her husband 15 years earlier.

    His sermon's gist was that we need faith to accept that the reason why God has us die is so that we can go to heaven. And that's it.

    The only interesting (touching) time was when the grandkids gave testimonials about their beloved grandma.

    Oh, and one more thing. What's with all this get up, sit down, kneel.....????

    I went because I knew the woman. I'd NEVER be interested in that religion.

    I'm convicned the "stand up" "sit down" "kneel" "repeat" is just to keep people from falling asleep. Probably not the real reason.

    The most awkward part for the only mass I went to my Gradmothers funeral was as a JW we just all sat there like a bump on a log while everyone else played simon says with the priest.

    That's funny, playing Simon says`with the priest. LOL

    A month ago I hurt my knee. I was thinking, if I happened to be a faithful Catholic, it would've killed me to do those exercises!

    I don't think the standing is mandatory.

    I'm sorry about the death of your friend.
