Should we sacrifice Lenten penances for the sake of unity with adherents of the New Mass? After all, they've given them up.<BR/><BR/>What has been transferred is only the obligation to assist at Mass, not the proper Mass itself. We can have the Ascension Mass on Ascension Thursday and then the Mass after the Ascension on the Sunday following. It doesn't matter to us that the obligation has been transferred, since we shall attend Mass on both days anyway.<BR/><BR/>If they force the Ascension Day Mass on us on the Sunday, we are perfectly at liberty to read the propers for the Mass after the Ascension while the priest intones those of the Ascension Day Mass. Who's to stop us? <BR/><BR/>P.K.T.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6570809348314913884.post-74321129113751841482008-06-18T05:24:00.000-04:002008-06-18T05:24:00.000-04:00Here in Barking, we celebrated the feasts on the d...Here in Barking, we celebrated the feasts on the day as well as on the Sunday. Commonsense really. The Anglicans and even the BBC know that Ascension is on the 40th day. Why should Catholics look stupid?<BR/>William YoungAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
