I don’t understand how he could give the benediction, unless this wasn’t a mass.

I don’t know how he could give Bendiction it is a Sacred Blessing? where GOD is Present and he doesn’t believe that... Why would he Be there other than Pride and that is the Root of all SIN>.I am Truely confused with this being held in a Catholic Church and Mocking the Presence of Christ with their Tomfoolery..

A benediction can also be a short prayer, something like “Go in peace.”

I hear ya, the only thing I can figure is that the priest was giving it at the same time to make it official.

Cardinal George your phone is ringing.

Good thinking, Miss Marple. I’d also like to know how they have a “room off the pulpit.” And if my Catholic church invited Maya Angelou to show their love for her, I’d have to attend a neighboring Catholic church, and complain to my Bishop.

[Salvation]

Good question.

I do know that it is a black Catholic Church, however.
