Are obligatory things legalism?
I have a question that I'm not antagonistic to but simply curious about.
As I have learned as I've begun my conversion process into Catholicism, the Catholic way is not legalism, but a new life in Christ. The Law is simply a guide, but not a checklist. So far so good.
And yet, how are things like holy days of obligation, the requirements to fast on certain days, and some of the other things Catholics must do or it will be a sin not legalism?
