    During Mas parishioners do 2 readings... old testament... and the Priest does 1... The New Testament... The Priest always does the New testament readings. The Priest will take those 3 readings and makes his homily threading all that together with current events.

    You're smart. Despite my age, I never actually knew those details. I knew that there are 3 readings, and I noticed that the deacon (when there is a deacon) will do the first reading, but I didn't realize that the first reading (deacon) was from the old testament and the 2nd (priest) was from the new testament. Interesting! So the book with the big "A" on it is the old testament?

    I recall the pictures you sent of your family at the Trump rallies, the excitement must have been electrifying. When you have great policies, America First, it's not hard to get excited.

    You're right, but you've got to admit this: It's not just the policies that we love. The policies are the important part, but all those Charlie Kirk moments that we have with leftists are great too. And

    BTW, and I have JUST seen this... JUST... take it with a grain of
    salt... The State Department has a 250th Anniversary design for the new passport and Trump's picture will be in it... HAHAHAHA... OMG... I'm getting my daughters passport this year...

    I was also excited when I read that article, because my passport is currently expired and I thought I might get this awesome looking Trump edition, but
    from what I understand, it's only being offered if you get your passport at a certain passport agency located in Washington DC (I'm not gonna drive there
    for it.) But let's hope that I'm wrong about this because I want that special edition passport!

    I think Rubio is better now then he was then. I heard the theory on
    Trump selection for 2028. They say, he's working JD on local stuff and he's doing all the foreign stuff with Marco. The 2 of them together
    will be a phenomenal team as President and VP.

    I'd love that, and yea, phenomenal as President and VP, but let's just hope that they learned from Trump how to campaign.

    Ya, there was a guy eating his dinner and didn't stop. There were people stealing bottles of wine and whatnot... Just remember that they were
    media types so anything you call weird just might be because they are leftoid liberal media types.

    Good point. And yea, these are the same people who ain't scared of nuclear fallout, unvetted migrants, etc. Ignorance is normal for them.

    The people in the audience are another story. It would take much longer for the shooter to pick out Doocy or Faulkner, which means that there's
    a high probability that he would fire indiscriminately into the
    audience, hoping to take out the people he wanted.

    That's the part that scares the "journalists". They are used to getting special treatment from the TDS crowd and not be a target.

    Ha. This is why we later saw Weija Jang all shaken up, and at a loss for words when she inadvertently said something nice about Trump "He said he's going to give a briefing in 30 minutes and that he wants to reschedule this dinner."

    "We almost died!" lol They're hard core now ;)

    No, and I'm assuming because of its size that its both the old and new testament. In the Catholic church they make available a book they call the Sunday Missal. The Missal is the New Testament divided into 3.

    If you go to church for 3 years you will have gone over the New Testament completely. What separates a sermon that a Priest gives today, and say one from 4 years ago, is the current events. The Priest is to draw all the current readings in with current events thus making things relatable

    I could be wrong. Maybe the Trump edition can be obtained from other states. I hope she can get it.

    I'm not sure if you knew about this but: When a kid writes to the president, the oval office sends the kid a cool gift. When I was a kid I wrote to Regan and they sent me a book about the White House. I keep telling my kids to send President Trump a letter and they better get with the program before it's too late.

    I can't copy that with Syncterm but I remember hearing Rubio talk about Iran on TV. He knows what's up. Nuclear weapons are world enders, and the extremists don't care because they're brainwashed, just like our leftists.

    Aaron, back in the day when I was baptized as a Catholic I had to go through all the processes others did. My young daughter, Amanda, baptized, confirmation... you know all part of the 7 sacraments,

    I am not a theologian... My/our church had a "All you wanted to know about Catholics but were afraid to ask" course... I had to go through the Sacraments.

    In our conversations in the past I told you that I was a bit of a professional student and maybe I took my baptism to serious... GBG

    The Old Testament starts from the beginning of time and covers thousands and thousands of years of the Jewish people... This is THICK

    The New Testament covers Jesus time on earth, 33 years. As a result the book is thinner... You can make the font small and that book might fit in your pocket.

    Christian Bibles usually contain both, Like the King James version, you can have a new testament, a small book, and if you have a stand alone old testament... That is actually the Jewish "Bible"... they don't call it that.

    Christians use BOTH because there is context and prophecy in the old testament about Jesus, and more, but this is the main reason.

    The Catholic Church has a user friendly book called The Sunday Missal, Missal is the important word... If you open your Missal up on the corresponding day that you are in church it will give you a play by play for that day, readings and whatnot.

    The Missal is really nothing more than the New Testament broken down in ~1/3 or so... If you went to Church for 3 years you would have read the New Testament completely.

    If you go to a Catholic Church ask for a Missal and ask someone for help, 2 minutes later you'll be good to go.

    Amanda turns 16 this summer and its her last "Child" Passport where both parents have to sign. So, we'll go down to the Consulate and get her Passport renewed and she'll get good until she's 26.

    You did things the correct way. Or else your church is really good at explaining things. I will admit this: I don't get church. I get that we pray together and I love that, but I understand about 8% of the stuff that you understand, and thanks for explaining all these things. You would be a kick ass Faith Formation teacher.

    Christians use BOTH because there is context and prophecy in the old testament about Jesus, and more, but this is the main reason.

    That sounds interesting! I didn't know that. There were clues that Jesus was coming?

    Missal is the important word... If you open your Missal up on the corresponding day that you are in church it will give you a play by play
    for that day, readings and whatnot.

    I've tried to follow the book, but I don't think my church is ever in sync with it. So then I just participate as much as I know how to.

    Lets get back to politics before we trigger some liberals again!!!
