catechism

According to modern Catholicism, Jews go to heaven even if they do not believe in the Gospel. Not only the Jews but also the Muslims are saved according to the Catechism; they even believe in the same God: "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place...

So recently it came to my attention that according to the 1662 and other editions of the BCP, a catechtical session is in theory supposed to follow the Nunc Dimitis, but in practice this is rarely if ever done, and I have never heard it. That said, a part of me is intrigued by the idea of...

I thought I would run this idea by this forum first, given the intelligence and open mindedness of this community, although on reflection, while I am in some respects liberal, I am in other respects moderate, in still others, conservative, and in all things, inspired by temptation. So this...
