christianity vs catholicism, changes in the church Options

[dreaming.of.ange...]

okie dokes... i was in the christian and atheists room thingy and had said i was catholic. and well i was wondering if anyone has any strong beliefs about the changes in vatican 2 church

let me first of all say this... there are differences between catholics and christians... catholics believe in the more traditional mass (mass is in latin, stricter rules about communion, dress code etc.) and well christians believe in the vatican 2 church

for me theres just to many changes to even believe in the vatican 2 church... it seems like its been watered down... for me i go to church in a nice skirt and blouse with a veil on my head. when i used to go to a vatican 2 church, i could wear shorts or wahtever... on the few times i go there (only because thats that only church where i am... trust me i wouldt go by choice but my parents dont listen to me) i see people wearing things that u couldnt even wear in school much less in a place of worship. and church should be a solemn time shouldnt it?

umm... before i write an essay ill stop here. id love to ahve a good debate on this subject ^^

*raises hand* Questions!

I'm sure there more differences in Catholicism and Christianity than what one wears to Church right?

As for what's appropriate for Church, does the Bible not instruct people on dress code or does the Father/Priest tells you that, or is it common sense?

no in the Old Testament, there were certain ways to dress...now we dress nicely out of respect for entering the House of God...but God takes u as u r...i wear jeans a lot of times...its hot u r comfortable praying n worshiping n praising n sutff...yeah

sry for the double post
