I would like to announce the first annual TGFN (Thank God For Nostr) conference!

Jusy kidding, but I will be going to masa at 11 am at https://www.saintfrancisonthebeach.com. I invite you all to join me there and have lunch afterwards at https://www.puravidamiami.com/ (for obvious reasons) immediately afterwards.

Come prepared to worship and/or observe the protocol for non-Catholics described here (I'm not Catholic either): https://www.wikihow.com/Visit-a-Catholic-Mass

I look forward to seeing everyone in Miami!

I'm not Catholic, so I have a hard time grokking how a church presents itself, but more traditional is better in my book. Is St Francis not?

It’s not. It’s a beautiful church nonetheless. I was originally from Florida and I’ve been there a few times. Catholics can be divided in three rough groupings.

(1) Traditional Catholics who hold on to the faith as it was from the Apostles to the 2nd Vatican Council in the 1960s.

(2) Modernists like Pope Francis who welcome rupture with the past and accept all kinds of innovations, believing that the Church needs to “keep up with the times” to remain relevant

(3) Conservatives who believe in many of the traditional teachings, but try to find a middle ground that Pope Benedict XVI called the hermeneutic of continuity, that believes the new should be in harmony with the past.

Which one would you classify St Francis under?

That's rather ecumenical of you. But be prepared to skip Communion: "If you're not Catholic, don't participate in Communion as you would not believe in the True Presence."

💯 a friend just converted, so the distinctives are top of mind

Marakesh 𓅦 2y ago

This doesn't sound very catholic/universal to me. It's rather exclusionary. I don't know if most Protestant or even Orthodox churches would tell Catholics not to participate in Communion with them...🤔

hodlbod 2y ago

Protestants wouldn't, but I can understand why Catholics would have the restriction

How was the first #tgfn Mass? Did anyone else go? I wish I could have gone to the Mass and #Bitcoin conference.

hodlbod 2y ago

I didn't end up going :/

Oh well. Maybe next time I’m Nashville. That’s closer to me, maybe I can make it.
