Interesting article and a different Lenten observance from most of us I expect.

I have always wanted to set myself a challenge to visit as many different Churches as possible and witness the diversity of buildings, architecture, congregations, denominations, services etc... Maybe next lent I should make such a commitment (although not quite as extensive as Adrian's :tongue:

You should totes do it :colone:

I wouldn't mind a bit of Catholic church hopping but I don't think multiple churches + TLG's psychosis + Lent are a good combo :nope:

I know what you mean. I am a very lazy excuse for a Catholic, psychosis aside :colondollar:

Motivation can be hard :sadnod:

I wonder if there would be interest in having a christian group in Manchester where we could meet and have talks. I was searching for one to join, but had no luck. Anyone?

People often have the image of Catholicism as declining. But I came across quite an interesting fact today. I was looking at statistics on Indonesia, and in 1903 there were only approximately 27,000 Catholics (making up about 0.06% of the total population), whereas in 2010, there was an estimated 7.5million Catholics (making up over 3% of the total population). Whilst still only a small minority, it is interesting to see such a large growth occurring in areas which one would not traditionally associate with Catholicism :beard:

That's amazing! didn't know about that and dk what exactly is behind it. However, I think in our modern society it is easy to lose faith and religion, just as forgetting and erasing culture.

Hey guys!!! Hope you're doing well :smile:

Congratulations on your new job Aula (I was just looking at your blog).
I've been wanting to say hello to Joe from the facebook group for a while because I never got to meet you on here, so it's lovely to meet you *waves*

My good friend is a Mancunian who just went back there for the Summer, I can put you in touch with him you like?

Minor prayer request: am hopefully meeting Fr S (my spiritual director/confessor) on Friday morning. Prayers that he doesn't have to cancel for whatever reason would be great! He's already had to change the date once :erm:

Fr S had to postpone til Weds next week. Might need to pray for the intercession of St Jude on this one :biggrin:

Have you written much in there recently? I can't remember what the last blog post I read of yours was! I thought I managed to follow it via email but maybe not... :ninja:

St Jude is VERY awesome! My sisters were so cute recently, in a St Jude-related capacity: my younger sister went to America to visit my older sister (who lives in Boston). Before my older sister took my younger sister back to the airport to catch the flight to London, they popped into their local corner shop or something (it was run by Mexicans, whatever the place was) and they had some Catholic items, including a lovely green candle for St Jude. So my older sister bought it for me and sent it to me via younger sister :awesome:

The multiquote button is the one I usually use but today it only works half the time. Think my laptop has a bug :sad:

Oooh I think I did read that post :yep:

Probably TSR that's broke, tbh.

I've started using the app even more now 'cause quote actually works with that!

Oooh btw, extra prayer request: doing a conference paper on Monday. Prayers that I don't drop everything/fall over/get too nervous would be good :colondollar:
