Question for Catholics that DONT go to church?

Question

With the extra hour we get in our lives from not wasting our time what do you accomplish in the hour you would of been at church? I usually spend that hour doing yard work before football starts.

What do you guys do with the extra time?

Answer 1

Do you not understand the corporal unity and worshiping as one body in Christ is one of the most important aspects of Christianity?!

Dumb question, I know, but I had to express my disbelief that such a ridiculous question could be asked.  

Answer 2

I would read the bible myself and sleep then go to Manhattan and hang out

Answer 3

with the extra time i have i just sleep in

sleeping in beats being in a room with a bunch of hypocrits any day

=]

Answer 4

I don't consider spending an hour of my week in worship "a waste of time" because I actually love Jesus and want to stand with other people who love Him and worship in unity. I also want to receive the Eucharist, which is so priceless, it's well worth any hour doing yardwork or whatever.  

Answer 5

Sometimes I attend service at the UU church I now belong to.  Mostly I get up, have a leisurely breakfast, walk the dogs, maybe play with the cat or start some laundry.  I was almost always in the choir at Mass, so I actually now have at least 2 hours free, if not more.

Answer 6

I teach and minister to my own Protestant flock.

Answer 7

I grew up in a Roman Catholic church, but from the age of 10, flat out refused to attend church except Christmas and Easter (to appease my mother I attended those two days)...Extra hour? I got a whole extra DAY around the house. My father was a non-practicing Christian...he prayed at home, and was definitely Christian, but didn't feel it necessary to attend church.

While my mother and siblings went to church, my father and I would have our father-daughter bonding time. We would go hunting, fishing, play board games, watch John Wayne movies (his favourites), do woodworking, or something else that he and I shared just the two of us (once we spent the day at the beach cleaning up litter; another day we spent it building a wheelchair ramp for someone who was too poor to afford one).

Because of our Sundays together, I feel my father and I had a very special bond, and when he died when I was 16, I really felt that it was okay...because I had known my father like no one else in the family had.

Answer 8

I dont turn down the invitation from our Lord to participate at the wedding feast
