[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a shame that on a day like Easter when we have so much to be joyful about, that the OP instead focused on her own discomfort. OP, please go back and read about the suffering of Jesus, and then search your heart.  May God's blessings be with you. [/quote]

I never said I was suffering.  I just said that with a preschooler crowding into a church that is honestly breaking fire code is not worth it.  Boy, another holier than thou.  Must be nice to be perfect.  [/quote]

I said you were uncomfortable, not suffering. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, and I hope the rest of your Easter was filled with the Word you did not find at Mass. [/quote]

It was, thanks.  Which just affirms my feeling (and those of my friends who joined us) that it is a more spiritual experience to spend a peaceful day at home focusing on the meaning of the day than trying to crowd into standing room only at a church where you can't even hear or see the mass anyway.

Any Catholics out there who attended a mass that wasn't full, let us know which church (Diocese of Washington).  It's not just me - I have a lot of friends who would join you so that they and their children might actually get something out of the service next year.

And I apologize if my vent made people feel I was focusing on the wrong thing.  I was frustrated because I am trying to do right by myself, my spouse and my child by actually experiencing the mass on a very important day instead of fighting crowds like I'm at a Black Friday sale.[/quote]

You could have done so without casting aspersions on others (no pun intended). That was really ugly. I'm pretty sure Jesus would have been overjoyed to see large numbers of people.[/quote]

Point taken.  Can we let it go now?[/quote]
