Question
Since attending "Why Catholic" sessions for the past two years, I have been reading more about our faith. there is  disturbing information on the internet. I have read allegations that the mass, as said nowdays, is invalid.  The only way I can think of for that statement to be claimed would be if the consecration were improper.  But, how could that be?  In short, what is the basic conflict?
Don

Answer
Dear Don:
The mass is not invalid. This is promoted by so-called traditionalist Catholics. These people do not want to obey the Church, they want what they want. Be very careful when reading their literature. They can seem to be faithful Catholics, but they are not.

I love the Catholic Church and her book, the Bible. I will try to answer your questions with an emphasis on God*s Word. I believe the Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. I can answer questions pertaining to the biblical basis for Catholic beliefs. I can also explain the beliefs of Jehovah*s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists as related to Catholic doctrine.
