On the in-side


For many who worship according to other religious traditions, the Roman Catholic Church can sometimes appear to be full of secret codes and signs. Ask anyone from the Protestant traditions who has ever attended a Catholic funeral whether they truly understand how everyone around them knows when to sit, kneel, stand .... all without any verbal announcement being made.

Finally, here are some of the so-called 'secrets' of the Catholic Church. Believe it or not, some of the long-time Roman Catholics may not understand these either, but instead of publishing an entire dictionary of Catholic understandings, how's this for a kind of 'Coles Notes' version?

The list was published last week by a Canadian church periodical known as The New Catholic Times. They have just recently introduced an on-line version of their long-standing publication. Thanks to our friends for the work they have done to assemble these references for us.
