The Three Crosses: The Good Thief or the Cross Accepted

[Alex Murphy]

That's good stuff, Sal. Thanks for posting it!

Salvation,

I know I don't normally join in the discussions on the Catholic ping list, but I do appreciate them.

I also have a question that I hope someone on the forum can answer: I have noticed in the past few years that the language of the text has changed during Mass. For example, the theives are no longer refered to as "theives," but as "revolutionaries." Further, the conversation between Jesus and the Good Theif (aka Saint Dismas) is not read anymore.

Can anyone tell me why this has happened?

Thanks again for the ping,
Regards,

This last Sunday, I noticed that the two thieves are now called the two 'revolutionaries'.
Is this a new change or was it only the one church I went to?

That was a good reflection on what took place at the cross. It gives me comfort to see the insight of this man, having heard of a number of priests whose own salvation is questionable. This is true spiritual insight which the Holy Spirit provides in the study of the inspired Word. Like many churches, there are those who have the Spirit of God, and those who don't. Thanks for the good read.
