I just found your blog through a post at Conversion Diary. I am glad to find it! I became Catholic 4 years ago, so there is much I don't know. Up until recently I had no idea there were different rites! Seriously, there is some lack in RCIA about educating us of all there is to know.
Anyways, the Sunday after my husband and I's wedding, we went to Mass at a local Parish who was hosting a Byzantine Mass (not sure if that's the correct term, but it was a visiting Byzantine Priest). I had no idea what to expect (like I said, I really didn't know all the differences in the rites) but the Mass was lovely! Just looking forward to learning more!
What am I chopped liver? I did comment, but I don't seem to count? Your blog is wonderful...it's for religious education that is actually correct. Go TRUTH.
Of course you aren't chopped liver! I was commenting on the lack of comments on the Bill Clinton and Down Syndrome posts. I thought the provocative title with Bill would attract readers (I am shameless, I know...)
This is a beautiful blog. I have seen your posts on Simcha's blog and others and just never thought to click over. As a teenager, we had a married priest who was raised Episcopalian and was a priest there before converting and petitioning to become a priest! He was a grandfather by the time we knew him and he was by far one of the best priests we had ever had. Someone who really knew first hand the struggles of a marriage and what it was like to be up all night with a colicky infant or waiting for a teenager to get home. I totally understand why the church does not allow priests to marry, but I see the joy of marriage in the priesthood as well. Blessings! Kristen @ St Monica's Bridge
I thought "Catholic priest" was an oxymoron. I'm glad it's not. Love the splash of summer blue here.
