Thanks D.

Is it me or does this actually say nothing changes? We will still have Altar girls, 15 lay people handing out communion and raising our hands at the Our Father, type stuff.

The way I read it is, and I got this from the full document, not the news stories, - the bishops have discretion and this is what they are supposed to do. When the dog falls asleep, I'll finish reading it. She's been a pest this morning. I didn't get much past the priests.

No, it's not just you. This document appears to be a major disappointment. What will change in your parish after this document has come out, whether your parish be liberal or conservative? Nothing. It looks like Dr. Thomas Drolesky had the inside scoop when he wrote

Worse than deja vu all over again
