One of those things that makes me go hmmmm:
When folks outside of Catholicism look at Catholics and characterize them as legalistic, pro forma spiritually dead pew slugs….
….and then get their backs up when they encounter Catholics who are informed, enthusiastic and committed disciples.
A similar dynamic:
Secularists who condemn Christians for being all into it on Sundays and just like the rest of the world during the week….
(Hypocrites…sniff.)
….and then get their backs up when they encounter Christians who are informed, enthusiastic disciples who believe that faith isn’t just about Sundays.
(Keep it to yourself…sniff)
