Great post, father. Here's one more request I would like to see added.

Ask the Holy Father that churches be required to restore the Tabernacle back to its proper location, in the center of the altar.

In my parish, the Tabernacle sits off on the side while the priest sits front and center. I personally spend most of my mass time focused on that Tabernacle and the flickering flame above it, a reminder of Christ's presence amongst us. He is the love of my life and no prelate should be allowed to upstage Him.

May God bless you in your work here on FP.

Excellent suggestion and a pet peeve of mine.

In our parish, it has center stage as it should be.

In my parents' parish in Palm Beach County FL, it is in another room entirely, as is the crucifix and all statuary. When we visit, we have to keep reminding ourselves that we are not in a Protestant church.
