Anyone have any answers, other than the 60x and disinformation being taught in our churches?
White signifies hope, the Christian hope in the Resurrection.
It's not a matter of teaching, it's a matter of emphasis. Black was always so dark and final.
And the Dies Irae, whose first line was "O Day of Wrath, O Day of Mourning."
Christ conquered death, so let's pray for the soul of the dead. If he died in the grace of Christ, he is with Christ and, as Christians, that is a matter for rejoicing.
Ahh, that is the point, if. I agree we must continue to pray for the soul of the deceased. But, how many Catholiu funerals have you gone to lately where the priests have told us to pray for the soul?
