Survivor China
So i watched this tonight and I was wondering what the correct thing
would be for a Catholic in the situation at the beginning when they all
had to go into the Buddhist temple and light the candles and bow or
whatever they were doing?
I have only been a Catholic formally for about 2 years but my instincts would tell me not to participate. Anyone know? Also, I was bummed they voted out the one they did... (avoiding spoilers  ). I hate when the lazy tribe members target the ones that try to get something done.

Being a Catholic it is greatly looked down upon going into a Protestant Church and having communion there. Same God, Body of Jesus... same basics. But we all know we can not have communion in a non Catholic Church So the "same God" isnt that simple

Re: Survivor China
I don't know what I would have thought had I been in that situation.
They explicitly said that it wasn't a worship ceremony, and in the
culture bowing is how you great someone. But I can see how it would have
been uncomfortable. It seemed kind of like she made this big deal of
leaving, but that may have just been how the edited it. I think standing
in the back and watching, but not really participating would have been
appropriate.
As for who they voted out, those first votes are always kind of random. I can understand picking him, he is one of the oldest, which can be a liabilty. And what someone, PG maybe(?), about him having knowledge and not using it was true. I can see that being frustrating. And she asked him over and over again.

Second part: Yes, I think he reacted too over-sensitively. He had in fact at first offered his knowledge and advice, and as it usually happens, everyone got all bent out of shape about it and thought he was trying to be bossy so he decided to keep his mouth shut. (I hate when they do that by the way -- it is always that way in these shows, any time someone offers knowledge or tries to get stuff done, people resent it and accuse them of being "the Man" or something -- damned if you do damned if you dont.)

Re: Survivor China
I understand what she did. Makes me like her for standing up for her
beliefs. I personally would have participated in the ceramony, but I
don't hold it against her that she didn't. I came in late, ds had
conferances last night. I only caught the tale-end of the Buddist
ceramony.
I hated seeing the person who left, go, but he set himself up. He could have been more forgiving and let the little things go. PG tried getting his opinion a few times, but he was too "sore" to answer. I wouldn't want that kind of negativity right off the bat. I'd probably vote him out too. Well, him or Ashley. She buggs me. I like the other team better. Great teamwork on their part. How bad does it suck that most of the women are stuck out there in high heels?! Oh man. Makes me think that I'd make sure to wear a bathing suit under my dress clothes, and flat shoes on the first night :rofl: You'd think the cast-aways would learn. Kim

Survivor China--I had an image of people
marching around carrying signs protesting Chinese human rights
violations and trying not to be the person voted off of Tienanmen
Square.

Re: Survivor China
As a Catholic, you can go into other religion's places of worship
occassionally, such as if you're invited on a special occasion or for a
wedding ceremony. You can even go there if you just want to see the
building (for example, you go see the Blue Mosque in Constantinople,
because of it is a famous piece of architecture).
My understanding is, as long as the Pope wasn't actively participating in Muslim prayers / prayer service or co-celebrating with an Islamic Imam at a strictly Islamic prayer / worship service (like at their Friday prayer service), it was fine with Church teaching with him visiting the mosque (I am sure he was invited, if you're the Pope you probably just don't show up at the front door when the service is about to start) on invitation, and yes, even praying inside it (you can pray to God anywhere); What he couldn't do is pray to Allah with the Muslims at their worship service / or co-celebrate at a Muslim worship service.
