A few Catholic news outlets are discovering through investigative reporting and anomymous prelates and underlings letting reporters know what is happening behind the scenes.
And it appears that the teacher’s pet, Cardinal Fernandez, is stepping on a lot of toes.
Two things that were rather obvious to me is that poor Cardinal Roche of the DDW, has not been consulted by Cardinal Fernandez and the DDF on two important liturgical matters—blessing couples living in public sin and as couples living in sin and making sure that the Mass and other Sacraments, especially Baptism, are celebrated as the liturgical books require, meaning “saying the black and doing the red.”
Should we care, though, if Cardinal Roche wasn’t consulted?
And what about altar cloths?
I happen to like clothes that have lace of some kind, are properly ironed with starch.
I don’t like cloths that are wrinkled, hang to low over the altar, obscuring any art work or design on the altar itself.
I hate cloths thrown over the altar like a cheap tablecloth!
I go crazy if the cloth is crooked or hanging improperly. This bothers me more than Cardinal Roche not be consulted.
Here are some yay and nays as it concerns altar cloths:
Yay!!!!
Nay! Nay! Nay!!!!!!
Yay to the cloths, but nay to the double altars:
Yay!
Nay!
Yay!
