You write "Cobbled together as the Mass is, in my heart I know that the risen Christ is there among all of us imperfect Catholics and random sinners." My question that begs an answer is can you know 'uncobbled' and without the mass that the Risen Christ is there among all of us other Christians and unbelievers - and random sinners...?? I believe you can be aware of God's presence without the mass- or a church!
