Concentrate harder, you're to easily distracted by noise.How long does static hold your attention?

Logically I don't get it.
The post actually criticizes the spiritual attainment process. For instance St. Paul says spirits mature. Therefore, everyone is at some stage of maturity in their spirit, and we can count a very few who have attained it. According to the author's theory, the vacuum that fills the rest is purity's alter ego hypocracy. It follows then everyone who hasn't obtained and isn't absolutely pure are some grade of hypocrite. It seems to me, that pretty well labels the world hypocrites?
The thread boarders on the "glass being half empty" anology. Personally I'd rather focus on the achievements of spiritual accomplishments. And considering the topless bikiniless world that differs from that of antiquity, and man has to contend with, I think he deserves some consideration he was able to achieve any spiritual gains. Father Raniero through personal revelation has been able to discern a method of analysis that works for him, and may work for someone else depending I imagine on a person's personality and level of esteem. I think his half empty coincides with everyone else's half full analysis, still accomplishing the same thing, a movement to betterment.

Well put.!!
Far as I can tell, my heart consists of pure muscle, pure veins, arteries, pure blood, and pure chambers. 
I think what you people are calling "purity of heart", I would call sincerity, like I try my damndest to be as sincere in my principles as I can sorta thing. With me it kinda fits more with being the opposite of hypocritical than "pure of heart" does.

I'm lucky if I can get them to stay put after administering the Eucharist! There seems to be a certain segment of people who feel that after receiving their Host the Mass is over, and make a beeline for the door Have a great Sunday Dont let them nod to much.

My mom would have slapped up silly if we'd tried that. I'll never understand why people do that. We always stayed to pray after the end of the last song, and I do the same with my children. More and more and more people leave straight after communion though... trying to beat traffic? Get a table at the restaurant? I'll never understand it.
