Catholic ping!
Cultural Catholics like me want my Latin, my altar turned around, my Confessional draped in heavy velvet cloth, my Eucharist taken on the tongue, anyone who isn’t a priest dismissed from giving out Communion, my relief from altar girls and bad music. In other words, a reversal of everything from the 1970s.
If the priest has to work harder to hand out all those hosts, so be it. They did it in the 50s and 60s without complaint. All of America is working harder for less. Why not our ordained priest??
Maybe it is time that we Catholics begin to read our Bibles!
Currently my favorite EWTN program. I don’t know how he keeps coming up with such intelligent and interesting guests.
“What the study did not point out, but we know from experience to be the case, is that only approximately 12% of those 51 million Catholics attend mass regularly on Sundays.”
The 88% of Catholics that are not involved are a field to be evangelized.
“Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.”
