Fr. Rutler is still at the Church of Our Savior. I believe it’s on 4th (Park, below Grand central). Haven’t been home in years, so . . .
But, I wrote him today; wanted to make sure he saw this, I’m sure, but. . . buried in a Saturday WSJ, anyone could miss it.
My original post about last rites being pre-Vatican 2 was partly facetious. I think Joe and Mary Catholic in the pews think the last rites (and the failure to receive them in extremis) isn't the big deal today that it was 50 years ago. Pope Benedict spent much of his papacy clearing up the misunderstanding concerning the church before and the church after the Second Vatican Council. I hope folks were paying attention.
When I can get my lazy butt out of bed in time, I attend 9 o'clock Mass at Our Saviour. Otherwise, it's 11 o'clock at St. Agnes.
