“Manly natural religion - it is not joining the Church; it is not to believe in a creed, Hebrew, Protestant, Catholic, Trinitarian, Unitarian, Nothingarian. It is not to keep Sunday idle; to attend meetings; to be wet with water; to read the Bible; to offer prayers in words; to take bread and wine in the meeting house; love a scape-goat Jesus, or any other theological clap-trap.” BelieveHouseJesusWaterNaturalChurchPrayerAtheismOffersCatholicWineMeetingsPositive AtheismBreadSundayWetCreedsTrapsIdleJoiningTheologicalProtestantsGoatsManlyHebrewUnitarianBread And WineScapes Author:Theodore Parker

“We were a religious, practicing, Catholic family - Mass together on Sunday, Catholic schools, and parents who practiced everything they preached.

“When I was in my early 20s I converted to Catholicism after a long period of searching. What I think drew me to the Catholic church is that in Catholicism, prayer suffuses all of one's life by virtue of the sacraments. Prayer is not something which occurs just on Sunday, it doesn't occur only at particular moments of intensity or by particular conventions, one's whole life is given up to prayer in many, many modes. And so everything to do with the faith is trying to put you in relationship with God and trying to make that relationship grow deeper and more mature.” ThinkingTryingLongWholeMomentsLife IsGivenGrowsChurchPrayerVirtueParticularPeriodsCatholicDeeperWhole LifeSundayMatureCatholicismIntensityConventionsSacramentsGiven UpCatholic ChurchRelationship With GodEarly 20s Author:Kevin Hart

“When I was little, I went to a Catholic school and was required to go to church every morning and with my parents on Sundays, so I spent a lot of time sitting on a wooden pew.

“Einstein uses his concept of God more often than a Catholic priest. Once I asked him: 'Tomorrow is Sunday. Do you want me to come to you, so we can work?' 'Why not?'
