I'm sorry it took me ten years to figure out that this was not the RC my father grew up in.<br /><br />Yes, we have problems in the LCMS but I'm so glad to be back. I feel catholic again in a way I didn't in the Church of Rome.<br /><br />When my Lutheran nephew married his Catholic wife there was a full wedding mass. I'll never forget the sad and uncomfortable look on his face as the priest gave Communion to his wife and passed my nephew by. In charity there should have just been the marriage rite.<br /><br />ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
