I have a problem with "ignnore them." because we become like others who say "the Mass in English - ignore it." We have been following the guidelines. I have...

Dan I have only heard that priest or deacons can clean the chalice, no lay minister male or female. I am very upset to here this rule and would see it as a...

I wonder if ignoring this is the same comparison of apples to apples when you speak of those who ignore "English Mass" versus ignoring this rule on Eucharist....
If we want to get really silly, who cleans the pyx after an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist brings communion to a homebound person? Peace, Loren Mooney...
Dan-- I cannot describe how pained I am by the Church's treatment of women, and I am very much aware of how many women we are driving away because they just...
o.k. just one more comment: isn't this silly rule more about ordained v. unordained. Laymen can't purify the vessels either.If they women from distiibuting...
Tom--To you it's just a silly rule. To me it represents one more way in which women are unable to participate in ministry. Please do not diminish what I...
Kathy I am sure Tom was not diminishing your feelings. His postings over the years have been very sensitive. More to the point, I think as an effort to be...

Julie, You are right. One should read the document, see how one's bishop is reading and interpreting it. Often there is quite some descretion in documents that...
When our parish priest was shown the document he rolled his eyes and said we were to put it away and not bring it to the attention of the people. He will...
Our priest has two parishes. In one the CM's purified the vessels and in the other (mine) the sacristan always did this. Then the directive came that only the...
I have to defend the lay Ministers of Holy Communion -- I believe this is an urban myth that suits some sectors of the leadership. Every one I have trained and...

The subject of women priests/deacons is a moot point. Jesus chose men....never mentioned women in this role. And, I believe the Blessed Mother would have been...
Well, actually we do not know what Jesus thought about women priests. I do not think we can presume to know His mind either. As for vocations, if one is on...
