Bishop Edward Braxton has suspended a priest for not following the missal when saying mass. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch asked for comment, but
A spokesman for the diocese, Monsignor John Myler, did not respond to a request for an interview.
That’s a shame, passing up a teachable moment, as they say in school-ville. He represents the holy church but cat has his tongue when he’s given the chance to explain what’s going on? Lack of apostolic spirit there, I’d say.
Comments
You are so right. Two full generations of Catholics know almost nothing about the Church, it’s doctrines, the requirements of a valid Mass, etc.
By not explaining, the Bishop’s act seems capricious or worse, “rigid” (GASP!).
