Concerning Odd (External) Things Catholic

I’ve had occasion to mention some in the past (here and here, for example). Father Tucker at Dappled Things does a nice job of discussing this issue here.

The comparison I tried to make when talking with candidates in the RCIA was that Catholicism is like a huge buffet table. You’re free to take as little as you like (the essentials, so-called) but you might be missing something if you don’t at least try some of the rest of the feast. And you certainly should not look down on those who try things (approved by the Church, that is) that you’re not willing to.
