Dear Pontifex:

This letter is about the Chinese/yogi/ecclesiastical methodologies of incorporating the daily routines into one’s religious life.  Foreign Affairs published two articles in the May/June 2017 issue dealing with the “Western compartmentalization” approach to daily living and the Chinese universality of routines incorporated with religious identity approach.  Do we as Catholics insulate ourselves within a parish? Do we choose our congregations by locale, heritage, spiritual muse or conversion? For instance, my wife Lucia and I attend mass via @EWTN for a variety of reasons. I feel a welcoming Christ ministering to us, as Joseph Mary MFVA said, to “[those suffering through difficulties at the moment]”.  The teaching is relevant to me and I hope I am relevant to EWTN.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

John and Lucia Rubens
