You're going to have to relearn with EVERYONE! &nbsp;</p> <p>I think it's key to remember that it's not so much about the little words, it's about making it a more close translation to the latin and the way Jesus and the apostles said/did it many many years ago. &nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/2010-new-liturgical-wording-for-mass#post-494289 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:47:14 +0000 fanatic888 494289@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Ahh! &nbsp;I'm just joining the Catholic faith and now I'm going to have to relearn it all.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/catholic-bishops-new-document-on-the-meaning-and-purposes-of-marriage#post-486299 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:12:06 +0000 KLP2010 486299@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Ya, I thought after I posted - that Theo. of the Body is probably a tough read for most... it's so amazing though!&nbsp; I took a few philosophy classes as well as theology classes in university so once you understand the language it's not too bad.&nbsp; So much easier than when I had to read Ratzinger's (now Pope Benedicts) Introduction to christianity... before i had ever taken a course on philosophy :-)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/started-rcia-this-week#post-483822 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:51:52 +0000 Miss_Carmel 483822@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I've attended 3 RCIA classes now and I'm feeling a little disappointed in the way that they're run. &nbsp;I was under the impression that they would be classes similar to taking a class in school. &nbsp;It doesn't feel as though questions are encouraged and even though I'm not interested in asking tough questions I feel that asking questions about prayer should be encouraged (ie: is talking to God considered prayer every time you talk to God?)&nbsp;</p> <p>Are the RCIA classes supposed to mostly be lectures where questions aren't asked and there's no real conversation? &nbsp;I want to start asking questions during our next meeting but I don't want to ruffle anyone's feather either. &nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/catholic-bishops-new-document-on-the-meaning-and-purposes-of-marriage#post-483020 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:11:06 +0000 twoangels 483020@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>The Theology of the Body (which I own two translations of) is a tougher read, though easier to read than "Three to get married."&nbsp; I think its wise to get a book on the The Theology of the Body or an audio series or to go to some lecture on it to begin with&nbsp; Its a great message though not very concise as it is really a series of Angelus addresses Pope JP II gave.&nbsp; As such, each address has a lot of summarizing what he previously said and then summarizing what will be covered in the next address.&nbsp; Then again maybe approaching it without knowing too much of what its about is the better approach.&nbsp; Maybe its because I was exposed to it first and just felt impatient to get to the broader message.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/catholic-bishops-new-document-on-the-meaning-and-purposes-of-marriage#post-482880 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:07:38 +0000 KLP2010 482880@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Awesome... I'll have to read that here soon :-) &nbsp;I think Theology of the Body is an excellent read too for those getting married...</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/catholic-bishops-new-document-on-the-meaning-and-purposes-of-marriage#post-482819 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:13:59 +0000 twoangels 482819@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Its 60 pages, but worth the read.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.usccb.org/laity/LoveandLife/MarriageFINAL.pdf">http://www.usccb.org/laity/LoveandLife/MarriageFINAL.pdf</a></p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/out-of-curiosity#post-481103 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:04:45 +0000 Chipmunk 481103@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My SO is Italian and I'm Spanish. In typical Spanish ceremonies, we have the literal tying of the knot in which the Godparents place a decorative rope around the couple while they are kneeling infront of the priest at some point in the ceremony. Do Italians have anything related to this? Just very curious.
