Cultural Catholicism is what 80% of Catholics practice; that is, "I am Catholic b/c I was born into it." Not all cradle Catholics are Cultural Catholics but most are. My point is that being Catholic requires more than just "being born into the faith." Saying "I'm Catholic" isn't enough to actually live out the faith daily.Fr.

Here you talk about the death of Catholicism now and how it is a good thing. I think that you are wrong and right at thee same time. Catholicism change us as an individual, to become devoted to god, to pray, to commit ourself to our lord, but it does not make us weak. I know people who rised from very difficult situations by finding peace with jesus. Being Catholic is not only about ‘dropping into the scripted practices’, it forms part of the daily life of any catholic. From the day you are born, you let jesus enter your life and be part of it through baptism, later on when growing up, you make the choice to connect yourself more with him, by the holy communion. Do not only evocate a negative aspect of a religion, no religion is perfect. But Catholicism is a life choice, and that was my choice, I respect you point, and it is nice to see how people now downgrade religious believes. I am not saying that I am very religious, I believe and pray god, not every day but I do. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046248370337926505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-525122475147928552018-10-14T00:23:09.336-05:002018-10-14T00:23:09.336-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-51905083799084731062018-10-13T22:06:07.301-05:002018-10-13T22:06:07.301-05:00Thankfulness to my father who shared with me on th...Thankfulness to my father who shared with me on the topic <br />of this website, this weblog is in fact amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-45390417227807832282018-10-13T14:34:12.134-05:002018-10-13T14:34:12.134-05:00Good article.
