Now there are “rules” regarding how we participate at the liturgy? I am not speaking about the content of the homily but the fact that laity delivered it. It is about time the laity is invited to actively participate in the homily. I believe this was a huge concern in the synodal meetings and I attended several. Even Pope Francis made reference to the poor homilies presented today.Every time I read this legalistic horror, I can’t help think of Jesus and what He would say about such disdain.I pray every day that I will get to heaven.Can’t wait to see the “canonists” there.
Hard for me to believe that the pastor of the Chicago parish would allow such a thing if he thought Cupich would come down on him given how much of an autocrat he's shown himself to be in liturgical matters. I would love for his Eminence to prove me wrong on this. If you're truly worried about liturgical unity, it doesn't get more divisive than allowing two guys to come into a Mass and talk about their relationship and adopted kids on the feast of Corpus Christi.
We shall see. Not responding forcefully after all that Cupich has done in the name of unity to the TLM would only confirm what most people already think.
I seem to have missed seeing Jeffrey Burrill’s letter of contrition such as the Alabama priest wrote. Bishop William Patrick Callahan - can you share that with us?
"But it’s striking that when the issue was raised, and questions asked, the archdiocese declined to comment — that’s what might leave Chicago Catholics wondering whether such a thing is actually a matter of concern for the archdiocese."
No comment on the Lord's Day, leading into a state and federal holiday? Absent fire and brimstone from heaven, or rioting in the streets, I am not sure why this is so important a story that it should be driven by the Pillar's news cycle. It takes a reasonable amount of time to gather information to share with reporters and editors.
Given that this post questions whether the lack of Archdiocesan comment could indicate a lack of care and concern on the part of the Archdiocese, and by default, Cardinal Cupich, I think it would be helpful to know what the request for comment entailed, and how that request was declined. A polite discussion with a media spokesperson ending in no comment would weigh differently in my mind than say, an email sent to that same spokesperson with no guarantee that he or she might see it. What were the circumstances?
I hope the Archdiocese of Chicago looks into this, takes appropriate action, and provides comment to you within a reasonable amount of time. I continue to hope that Catholic journalism, motivated by Christ's love, can be different than the secular press. I especially hope that when we are necessarily plunged into the sacrifice of the Cross each time we are plunged into the sacrifice of the Mass, we at least can occasionally recall St. Paul's words that love "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
If you're playing "spot the typo" I already saw a "has" that should have been a "have." And I fixed it.
You shoulda been quicker.
The Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter also has particular law regarding hook-up app usage among clerics.

And the Vatican once again tells the local Churchea and bishops how to do their jobs. One size fits all is not going to work for the Universal Church.
