Shhhhh
Don't scare the people about a Catholic being in office

Mass represents the Eucharist rather than merely attending a church service? I'm high Anglican and we always took mass.

Aren't Anglican and Catholic closely related anyway?

All depends really on the church and priest, but yes most of the standard liturgy is the same or similar.

Whereas high Nuclear takes critical mass...

Yup. I’m Catholic but my cousin married into an Anglican family. I was pleasantly surprised by how similar the rite of baptism was.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Those catholics really give good mass, some of the chalicework is effortless.

Things that stand out the most to me...

1. The two categories about biggest fears just proves the degree to which right wing media fear mongering has inundated Republican voter’s thought process.

2. The favorability ratings for feminism and democracy amongst Republicans. Yikes.

minus 4.7?

We know how to put on a good show.

The fact that Marines in full dress uniform are opening the same double doors for dignitaries to come out of where just two weeks ago a police officer was almost crushed to death fighting off a mob of insurrectionists seems surreal.

I grew up on one side in a High (high!) Anglican family and on the other side a quite strict Catholic family, so I have experienced both and felt akin to each side.

There were people on both sides who wouldn't attend the other church (like my Nan), but they were shocked that I could recite the liturgy in both churches.

It probably helped that it was the same apart from two lines off the Lord's Prayer and the odd line changed here and there, so the distrust just baffled me.

That distrust, even all these years later, is probably down to Henry VIII.

His daughter Elizabeth I too, as her purges (of sorts) sowed the seeds of distrust. On the other side, Protestants probably had some genuine grievances as well.

With hindsight and different times probably helps, but I can't look past the point that it's the same God and same religion.

"Every man who wages war believes God is on his side. I warrant God will often wonder who is on his."

Very true. Have you read Stripping of the Altars by Eamon Duffy? Great book about that time period

Er can you guys take it to the religion thread; this one is for the Lady Gaga concert later today. Thanks.
