I saw a news article on a local network during dinner tonight which reported on a priest somewhere administering Sacraments using the wrong words. While I tuned in late, these 2 anchors described the Vatican affirming everyone who had received Sacraments during the past 20 years by this priest would need to have them re-administered. Fine, what struck me was they closed the story by laughing! I knew I had to write them. So I did tonight. I explained why their laughter was so bewildering and potentially confusing to viewers, if not downright offensive. I explained there are some who have hate toward the Church. They no doubt will laugh with them. It's not my first choice in news Stations.
Perhaps this tap on the shoulder will be a kindness to them. So many epople are utterly ignorant or all things Catholic.
Yes. Me, prior. Raised Protestant in a 95% Protestant town. When I visited husband's current Baptist church (Christmas Eve service 2019), the pastor flat out ignored me. Not even a hello greeting. His wife goggled at me as if I had three heads. Not a word of greeting from her either.
