Example of one of my fantasies

Since people like to know what I am thinking and "what my dreams are."

I like to think about an entire church community, let's say the Baptists, who are near and dear to my heart, and always have been. I think about how much they truly love the Lord and how they have been loyal to him through good times and the bad.

Then I imagine them all joining the Catholic Church. It would be an amazing wonder and it would delight God.

They would be Catholics in fullness of communion, attending Catholic Mass for their Sunday obligation, and participating in all of the sacraments.

Yet they would retain their own churches and institutions, so that they can continue their praise and worship activities within communities without disruption. I mean, if they wanted to make them all Catholic, wow, that would be the best. But I'm just saying that being near many small rural Baptist churches here in Mississippi, I could see the small churches still being active as local praise and worship locations, and for the many social services and recreation they offer.

That's one of my favorite fantasies.

"One Church, in union, One God"
