Umm, this is a traditional Catholic forum, and 100% against false ecuмenism, as that promoted by Taizé. Sorry, you're welcome to stay on this forum, but don't expect anyone to contribute, as most of us would rather you find out about the Traditions of our fathers in the Catholic Faith and repudiate this false ecuмenism.

Brumi2 has entered the Twilight Zone.

My friend, you have no idea what place you have wandered into.  Back away slowly, exit though the front gate,  and forget you were ever here.   :smile:

but perhaps it would be prudent to explain this comment, thank you.

Sorry Sigismund. I meant no harm. It had nothing to do with the picture and I certainly did not mean to imply that people of mixed races were less than human. I asked the question in this thread and was wondering what the newcomer thought about it instead of posting the typical anti-taize post that I was expecting others to post like QVP did.

You're welcome. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :dancing:

It may be typical anti-Taize, but I don't think there's another way to say it. Unless you can find of something else related to it, instead of asking a totally unrelated question like you did at the beginning of this thread, even if you wanted to break the ice. Don't think promotion of these things will make the forum owner happy!

Dear Brumi2,

It is obvious from your post that you are not a traditional Catholic.
You have been deliberately prevented from hearing about the true Catholic Faith.

If you stay on this website, we will explain these matters to you in greater detail.

I know that you do not really understand.
But try to see that this is possibly your first ever encounter with real Catholicism.

Pray very hard for guidance. Your soul is in peril.
And no one has ever told you the truth about that.

You must pray about this. I do not know you. but I want you to be happy in Heaven forever.

Please pray for your soul.
Your soul is in grave peril.

I also strongly suggest that you come on this thread and ask questions about these important matters.

Unfortunately, some of us would be deprived of this occasion due to the cost of the trip without financial help. As a result, we have decided to try and fundraise the majority of the costs by organising activities such as bagpacking at supermarkets, performing at Catholic masses and even a 25-mile cycling challenge.

Dear Brumi2,

Welcome! You look like a lovely group of girls. I wonder which one you are.

Actually, those who cannot afford the money for this trip are blessed  indeed, in that they could be prevented from participating in the fraud that is Taize. But they will not be better off, if they are not informed as to why they are better off.

I really hope you will stay around, or at least come back, as I suspect that you might be too busy with your efforts to raise money. I do hope you do come back to learn more about the Catholic faith. The one propagated at Taize is NOT Catholic.

One thing struck me as an example of the falseness of this movement and the lack of a true Catholic sense, is that you would say you "perform at Catholic masses" to raise money.

Most of us here on this forum know that the  "Catholic masses" you refer to are not Catholic at all. Nevertheless I suppose you must believe in the importance of the Mass and the idea of making money by "performances at Catholic masses" is truly outrageous. I sense that you are innocent of all this, but it is never too late (or too early) to learn to develop an awe of the Mass that would cause you to stop and think.

Don't be like me who came to it later in life.

There is no much to learn but you are young. Don't leave it too long as you never know how long you have in this world. I pray you will discover the Truth. You will not find it Taize.  

God bless you.
