Lmfao does the Catholic Church just go absolutely horrible on everything?
I grew up in the ELCA and we had homemade fresh baked bread every communion. It was amazing. The wine was less so so I always took grape juice (even had an old lady say “you can have the wine, the grape juice is for recovering alcoholics.” I responded with, at 13, “I am a recovering alcoholic.” The look on her face was priceless)
I go to church and am one of the bread bakers, we each volunteer one week per month. It’s so easy to bake bread, which we all make a different type of every time, and we buy beautiful locally bottled grape juice from a nearby farm. One of the church members is a potter and made an absolutely gorgeous communion set complete with the crown of thorns. Catholics just have some volcel in a dress yapping and singing, and absolutely NOTHING for the children of the congregation, which is why so many grow away from it, myself included, because there is nothing for your age group to engage with. It’s no wonder they’re such a disaster. Church can be so nice if you pay attention to the details and make it a celebration every week, and we have such robust children’s programming that we have 80 kids a week attending. The Catholics actually have very set education for every stage of a child’s life, but they do nothing for them at service.
