I took a class on religion in college and had a professor tell me what the rituals in my religion were and what they meant to me personally. I don't think she understood the difference between Catholic and Protestant because she argued I was wrong when I brought it up after class.
- bobthechef 5y agoWhat was the point of disagreement? Your average Catholic, for example, isn't going to be especially knowledgeable about liturgy, much less theology. Ask your average Catholic what the mass fundamentally is and chances are he won't be able to tell you in any "academic" sense. So the situation isn't quite analogous. Now had she contradicted Jesus about the meaning of the last supper...
- kayodelycaon 5y agoIt was that all Christian traditions followed specific Catholic rituals that had specific meanings and forms. She told me I didn't know anything about Christianity (in almost those exact words) and that I was wrong about the meaning and form of the rituals my church preformed. Someone who is supposedly has a Masters in Religion and talking about Christianity should have at least heard about Martin Luther if they are going to speak with any authority. I wish I was exaggerating. I really do. She didn't get good reviews and I don't recall seeing her after that semester. Note: She was white and spoke with a native midwestern accent.
