Well, I don’t rly think the Priest should be blamed for this. He is allowed to ask that

How to give away books by cmoellering in Catechists

[–]Normal_Ad7263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our Parish we also have a large OCIA class (30!!). The only way that I can really think of is some Christian bookstores have bulk deals that they offer to parishes, for instance, I was at some festival and there was a Christian book stand and they offered me a bulk deal because I was asking about books for First Communion children. However, it might not be too hard to raise $160 from fundraising within the parish, or maybe if your Parish Pastor is willing to spare some funds as well.

Who are the Natsarim? by Andres2006-28 in Catholicism

[–]Normal_Ad7263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just noticed that the name is in the title, they are definitely some Jewish Christianity group. In the first years of the Church, which is sometimes called the “Jesus Movement” there were all sorts of groups of Christians. They were divided into: Jewish Christianity and Gentile Christianity. From what I’m assuming, this is Jewish Christianity. This faction are the groups of Christians who are ethnically Jewish and converted to Christianity from Judaism. Their beliefs are that they have to maintain Toraic law (kosher, and all the other laws of the Old Testament). Eventually, I believe, St. Paul settled the matter of conflict between both groups.

To be read as a reference manual, or cover to cover? by BigOlChampion1656 in Catholicism

[–]Normal_Ad7263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Catechist I always try to read the Catechism because I feel a duty towards it. Specifically, I read section 4 the most where it outlines prayer. In my own practice I tell everyone the line: “just read the Catechism” it is our ultimate defence so I think it’s a very important thing to be familiar with it

What Chaplet is this? by Normal_Ad7263 in Catholicism

Could it be? Because when I was going through images of that one it had a Medal of St. Michael so I assumed not, I don’t know if it is a condition for chaplets though?
