You may have heard of the term "Cafeteria Catholic" — some people think it's derogatory, others think it's merely descriptive; some feel its definition is obvious and right on the money, others think it's too general and inexact; some describe themselves with it proudly, others are secretly ashamed.
When someone mentions "Cafeteria Catholic," what comes to your mind? How does it affect you, one way or another?

Although no one has responded in this forum, it seems to have generated lively discussion in the Youth Ministry's forum. Check out the thread here:

It's amazing how CYM'ers have responded to this question!
As for me, it is not a good term to be called a 'cafeteria catholic', but their exist a very thin line between devoted and deviant from the Catholic doctrine; so perhaps it would be a rude awakening if someone is referred as one. Nobody is perfect but we are called to be perfect and we are capable of being one; we need grace from our Lord and our 100 % effort to reach for it - if we do, it would not be because of us but as a gift from the Lord.
Good question! |
