They mean a lot to me.

Paul, is there any particular bit I mentioned that you’re deeply curious by? I did offer one example in the course of my reflection of answering my own question (how blessing ourselves with holy water before we go to Mass is to remind us of our baptism, of what baptism is, and what it promises). Really, the whole point of my article this week was to hopefully inspire readers to research this material themselves. And, to be honest — outside of the most superficial level — just about any one of my rhetorical questions could be the basis for a reflection on its own (and my posts tend to run long as it is). But if one of the tidbits particularly provoked your curiosity, I can probably provide a brief overview/summary as I understand it or find a link that goes into a bit more detail.

Baker, the Doctor in question was the Fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker. The episode was Part 1 of “The Face of Evil,” from 1977. (I didn’t want to go too far babbling about Doctor Who despite my great fondness for the show.)

You’re a very knowledgeable writer, obviously. Maybe next time you actually share why we perform some of the traditions you mentioned, instead of keeping that knowledge to you yourself.

You bring up a good point, what should we know? And then ask yourself, why am I Catholic?

Mark

Enlighting that’s how you make me feel. You are so correct how much we cradle Catholics especially take for granted. Thank you from a 70 year old.
