How To Be A
Practical Catholic By D. J. Corrigan
Intelligent Religion
14. Practical in his knowledge of faith. It is safe to say that a Catholic who does not understand his religion well, will not be a good Catholic. He will neither know what he is to do, nor be concerned enough to practice his faith, especially when it demands some things that are hard. What we are interested in, we usually take pains to learn, even at great sacrifice. Just because he esteems his religion as the most important element in life, the practical Catholic will with evident pleasure read his diocesan paper, or good religious magazines, or the Catholic books that he can procure. For the same reason he will be most attentive to sermons, certain that though the preacher may not be a paragon of eloquence, there will always be something that he can learn for the benefit of his soul.
I have known of non-Catholics who have remained out of the Church, some permanently and others for years, because of an ill-informed remark from Catholic lips that wholly misrepresented the Catholic religion. The practical Catholic will want to avoid such a calamity at all costs and for that reason will strive to understand his faith so well that he can answer the questions and doubts of his non-Catholic friends not only exactly but in a way that appeals to both their minds and their hearts.
15. Practical in his speech. Since most people believe that "out of the mouth the heart speaketh", they judge a person and his family and often his religion by his speech. Certainly some Catholics make a very bad impression by the vile and irreverent venom that spews from their lips. For that reason malicious gossip, blasphemy and cursing, the abuse of the Holy Name, the sordid stories and expressions that smack of the barnyard should never be heard from the mouth of a practical Catholic. The Catholic above all has every reason to know that such irreverent and unbecoming talk is usually a cloak that hides a weak, cowardly nature. He should be just too sturdy in his convictions ever to lower himself by filthy speech either because others do it or because he feels the need of appearing strong or popular to his fellow-men. On the contrary, the fervent Catholic will be clean and reverent in all that he says: his deep evaluation of his religion and his sincere respect for others will habitually incline him to speak with reverence of his God, his Church, his bishops and priests, and of his neighbor.
16. Practical in his charity. Religion that does not lead to true brotherly love is counterfeit. That is why the practical Catholic will try to possess a heart as big as his Saviour's, especially for his neighbor in need. Such a Catholic is usually active in the St. Vincent de Paul Society, or some other kindred group. But his charity does not wait for organized help to demand his time and effort; he is ever ready, within the limits of reason, to answer a call for help and to do it "on his own". It may be someone who needs a job, or food or guidance, or an encouraging word, or sometimes a priest. His charity, too, will be evident in many other ways — visiting the sick, consoling the sorrowful especially at a wake or funeral, praying for the poor souls, affording transportation to the old and lame for Mass, even sometimes baby-sitting for young couples who would otherwise be permanently confined to the home. No one is excluded from his love because of nationality, creed or color. Such a good Catholic, in his willingness to expend himself for his neighbor, accomplishes an immense amount of good for his Church and for souls, and besides, he experiences from his generosity a happiness that is rare in this world.
WORD OF INTRODUCTION
Requirements for Receiving Holy Communion
On January 12, 1930, the sacred Congregation of the Council, by mandate of Pope Pius XI, has issued emphatic instructions on modesty of dress to all bishops, directing them to insist on these prescriptions:
"We recall that a dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat, which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows, and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knee. Furthermore, dresses of transparent material are improper."
In addition, all those who wish to receive Holy Communion at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church must:
● be validly baptized in the Roman Catholic Church. Anyone who was baptized after 1970 must speak with the priest before receiving Holy Communion.
● hold all teachings and have a sufficient knowledge of the Catholic Faith. One must believe and abide by traditional Catholic moral teaching, especially regarding purity of marriage. Anyone who has received a marriage annulment since 1968 must talk to the priest before receiving Holy Communion.
● be in state of sanctifying grace to be able to receive Communion, having made a good confession to a traditional Roman Catholic priest.
● be fasting for three hours from solid food and alcoholic beverages and one hour from liquids other than water. Water and non alcoholic medicines may be taken at any time. (please note) Those who are able to do so, are encouraged to fast from midnight at those times when they plan to assist at a Mass scheduled for the morning.
Anyone who adheres to the teachings of Father Leonard Feeney and Saint Benedict Center (denying the Church’s teaching concerning “baptism of desire” and “baptism of blood”), who worships at religious services conducted by any of the CMRI bishops or clergy or Thuc bishops and clergy in concert with them, must not receive Holy Communion at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.
Ladies, as stated above, are required to wear dresses, or full skirts and blouses. Hemlines must be long enough to touch the floor when kneeling. Necklines must be no more than two fingers-widths below the pit of the throat. Slit skirts are not acceptable; a skirt is too tight if it needs to be slit to allow walking. Ladies are also required to wear a suitable head-covering while in church. Obviously, by the standards given by Pius XI, the wearing slacks, sleeveless dresses including “cap” sleeves(which are not sleeves at all), or low necklines are not suitably dress. Sleeves must cover the arms at least to the elbows.
Gentlemen also must wear modest and decent clothing in church and observe the prescript of Pope Pius XI as noted above. Men must wear dress slacks and dress shirt, with sleeves which cover the arms at least to the elbows, preferably with suit coat and tie. If their attire is immodest or indecent, they should not enter the church.
Flip-flops, shorts, sweats and T-shirts are not acceptable attire in the church at any time. The wearing of revealing, tight-fitting and transparent garments of sheer material is forbidden in the Church.
Please do not come to receive Holy Communion at this church today if you do not meet these requirements. Rather, respect our standards and observe them.
************************
1. The question is, what exactly does it mean, to dress modestly?
2. What does the Catholic Church say on the matter?
On January 12, 1930, the sacred Congregation of the Council, by mandate of Pope Pius XI, has issued emphatic instructions on modesty of dress to all bishops, directing them to insist on these prescriptions:
"We recall that a dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat, which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows, and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knee. Furthermore, dresses of transparent material are improper.
Women must be decently dressed, especially when they go to church. The parish priest may, with due prudence, refuse them entrance to the church and access to the reception of the Sacraments, [each] and every time that they come to church immodestly dressed." (General Pastoral Directive, 1915 A.D.)
"Girls and women dressed immodestly are to be debarred from Holy Communion and from acting as sponsors at the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation; further, if the offense be extreme, they may even be forbidden to enter the church." [Decree of the Congregation of the Council, 1930 A.D.]
