[quote=Anonymous]Oh yes, American Catholics are engaged in all of these practices.   :roll:

If you think it makes you sound intelligent to pick out the fringe practices of a religion to insult the whole, it doesn't.  Just FYI.[/quote]

The point is you priggishly distinguish yourself as a Catholic separate in some way from religious practices (singing and swaying, the horror) you deride as "disingenuous and forced," when there are plenty of Catholic practices (whether you participate in them or not) that strike many people as more out there than singing and waving ones hands.

And oh the irony; just because American Catholics don't commonly practice ROMAN Catholicism as those in, for instance, ROME do (relics, scala sanctum, etc) doesn't make those any less Catholic practices! They really aren't all that fringe if you're familiar with Catholic practice world wide.

Definitely not "fringe", and definitely practiced in the US.  I have been to Catholic churches with more charismatic masses and praise music.  I don't think this type of worship is "non-catholic".  I've never understood why episcopal is referred to as "catholic lite" anyway.  The beliefs are very different.[/quote]
