The Mass schedule has been changed so that the priest can sleep in as long as possible and working people can't attend Mass. And holy days are no different. I had to ask to leave work a little early because it was the only way that I could attend Mass. <br /><br />And what did I hear from the Deacon who preached at Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception?<br /><br /> This is what I left work early for.....the Deacon said that "the Immaculate Conception isn't in the bible or the history books and it's not necessary to believe like we believe what's in scripture, but we believe it anyway." And he had the exact same experience as Mary did when the Angel Gabriel appeared to her and informed her she was to be part of something great. It happened during the meeting of Familes when he saw Pope Fancis. And people wonder WHY! Why is the Church dying. <br /><br />I'm glad the parish isn't doing anything. Because it's less scandal and heresy being spread. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
