Heard the good cardinal yesterday at the Chrism Mass. Blessing holy oil for the entire year, while Catholic kids are getting their religious instruction undermined.

Yesterday? Well, there's part of the problem. That Mass is supposed to be tomorrow. The Chrism Mass is supposed to be on the morning of Holy Thursday. If your bishop bends on that, Lord only knows what else he'll bend.

This is exactly the kind of mentality I'm talking about. You're all wrapped up in whether the blessing of the holy oil takes place on Tuesday or Thursday.
