And the fact that he continues to offer both the Sacred Host and Precious Blood at every Mass, regardless the solemnity and offers kneelers for reception of the Sacred Host (which is laudable).

Police State for a Day? DARWINCATHOLIC - April 22, 2013 Like most people with an eye on the news, my main reaction to the day-long manhunt in Boston on Friday was relief that the second bombing suspect was apprehended without further bombings or loss of life.

QUAERITUR: Palm Sunday – Substitution of Passion With a Slideshow Narrated by Children FR. Z'S BLOG (OLIM: WHAT DOES THE PRAYER REALLY SAY?) - April 11, 2013 From a reader: At this year's Palm Sunday Mass (Novus Ordo) at a Benedictine monastery near where I live, the Passion Narrative was cut in its entirety and replaced with a slide show of sorts narrated by children from the parish. The little narratives dealt with scenes from Holy Week in the widest sense, but bore no resemblance to the sung Passion that this monastery used to do on Palm Sunday.
