Mass Hysteria: Prayers that should have been kept in the Novus Ordo Mass.

Letters:

  • Gail – Let’s pray more for priests, especially the ones who are deceased.
  • James – I understand any priest can trace their line of succession back to the apostles. How do they do this?
  • Dan – Why do we get angry about what we believe?

Callers:

  • Gary – Was there anti-Semitism around in the year 1900 in the Catholic Church? How do I dispute there wasn’t anti-Semitism in the Church around in the year 1900.
  • Tim – When Jesus was performing miracles, why did he say to them ‘Don’t tell anybody about this?’
  • Tom – Why is it that with the music in the Mass, they make up words with the same tune and why is their clapping?
