Sorry, been sick. Sinus infection...finally on an antibiotic. Fam doc lectured me on the surgery. Said the problem was not going to go away. (sigh)
The Assumption, was first made dogma around 1950...hardly an essential part of our faith like the real presence in the Eucharist. That goes back to the Last Supper. There is a vast difference...but alas, I am not up to debating it.
How are YOU feeling today? I am sick of going from one thing to the next. I want to have a couple of good days. Sleep would be a nice start.
Dogma is dogma. There aren’t levels of “essentiality.”
