Haha... No sir. I'm informed by the Church, which has never commanded that we come to Mass in order to witness Eucharistic desecration and expose our children to that kind of scandal. We are to go to Mass each week to worship our Eucharistic Lord -- not to watch Him be mistreated. There is such a thing as "weightier matters of the law," as Jesus said.

My wife recently had a thumb surgery (trigger thumb) and then decided to read a book about Padre Pio.

I am afraid of hell. When I imagine it, it's not so much that I'm afraid of its literal pains or any other similar punishments, as horrifying as that would be. It's more that I fear its hopelessness and despair, for hell's inhabitants have no more recourse to God. Unlike now, there is no longer any route to repentance. Today is the day of salvation. How stupid it would be to throw it all away, to be tortured with regret for all eternity.

Wow. Well okay.

Do you really believe it's a mortal sin not to go to a Mass where the valid Eucharist is repeatedly touched to a weirdo priest's nipple and crotch? I might call that being complicit in his sin, and to the scandal it would cause our children's faith.

That's a good idea. I might go out to the range today too.

If you worship like a Modernist, you will become a Modernist.

Exactly. I brought that up (I had even prepared a list), and I was literally the ONLY PERSON in the room who defended biblical Catholic morality. Scriptural examples were like rubber bullets bouncing off their supermodernist chests. No one attempted to deal with sound theology or sound (and simple) reasoning. In answer to St. Paul's teachings, for example: All Paul knew back then was that pretty much everyone was straight, and there were a few perverts. But now in our day we understand the concept of having different orientations, and so we hold on to the justice and freedom and love that undergird all of morality, so, homosexual acts are no longer prohibited in every case because we understand people can have different orientations. God made them that way. Such retarded and demonic delusions. My questions and explanations created a scene only because I challenged their evil worldly conclusions with scriptural Catholicism and clear Catholic theology they should have learned as children. Like a lion prowling about the streets, the devil has devoured most people in my city.

What a nightmare. It was awful. I do not share the same religion as these "Catholic" people.

What I'm getting at is: Would it be a sin in God's eyes to not go to the nipple Mass when that's the only place you could make it to? We are required by Church law to go to Mass every Sunday when possible. Or would God bless your sincere desire to not scandalize your children (or yourself) with it?

Here's a thought experiment: What if the only Mass within two hours of your home is one at which the priest always processes do the altar doing the moonwalk? 🚶‍♂️ He says mass to a funky beat. 🔊🕺 And he touches the Host to his nipple and crotch, with a wink 😉, before placing it in your hand. While inappropriate, it's still "valid." Transubstantiation happens. Are you obligated to go? Would you take your children there? Or would you save up gas money to go to a more appropriate, traditional, reverent mass that's three hours away every other week -- which means you would miss Mass on the off-weeks?
