Wait a second, Penance in 4th? That's supposed to come before First Communion. And what is wrong with the list of sins in the Catechism and examining the conscience against it? Why make it more complicated than it needs to be?

BTW, I waited half an hour in line last night for Confession, and there was quite a line behind me. We also got a homily on Confession this morning.

Honestly, you all need new bishops. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Yeah. I'm pretty sick of hearing of your great orthodox diocese! ;-)

All kidding aside, that is fantastic that there are LINES for Confession. I haven't seen that in years and years.

There's a pretty good rumor that Bishop Wuerl is to be sent to Boston... he's in Pittsburgh now, I believe. I'm kinda curious about him... any Catholic FReepers from Pittsburgh that we know of? I'd like to hear their take on him. What we need is a Tomás de Torquemada and his minions. Things are a mess here with the dissident priests and the so-called Catholic universities. The Boston Globe did a little piece on Wuerl and the rumor he may be sent to Boston... he didn't say no and he didn't sound too thrilled.
