Then our Parish Priest gave sort of an old fashion homily today focusing on final things, such as our own ultimate passing from the world, and it sort of uniquely focused this aspect of Advent. I wish we had something like this in the Latin Rite, but if we introduced it now no doubt many would find it all too much. The same Church's Facebook post praising a Bishop for being rather blunt on timely moral issues brought the inevitable (and probably from non Catholics) retaliatory posts from those who tend to reduce Christianity to holding only a doctrine amount to something like its nice to be nice to the nice, so I can see how a Fast would be likely to go now.<br /><br />Maybe. Or maybe I'm underselling people.<br /><br />Anyhow, nice entry.Pat, Marcus & Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097254988446524947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-19716153136059871352018-11-17T04:17:37.959-06:002018-11-17T04:17:37.959-06:00What a treat to click on the link to Byzimom and s...What a treat to click on the link to Byzimom and see such a church! I was looking forward to reading the article, but it would not stay "open" - any ideas? Her page is not a format I am familiar with. Thank you kindly, Priest's Wife! I will likely forget to check back here for your response, so I am wondering if my email address shows to you and if you might contact me at it.
