They excluded the people of the Diocese, who had obtained the provision, for whose benefit the provision was made - okay. They prefer not to work with us - fair enough. That they should make such a mess of it once they have is completely unacceptable - and not just to me.Convenorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939527929709019039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-38557914787346021682010-01-14T12:54:56.543+00:002010-01-14T12:54:56.543+00:00I see 2 points of view here.

I see no real risk of confusion. The same problem arose in October when the absence of communication was made obvious again. However, in October, it was just transferrence for the convenience of the organisers rathar than cancellation because they couldn't bring it off.<br /><br />http://catholicheritage.blogspot.com/2009/10/mariana-in-south.html<br /><br />http://catholicheritage.blogspot.com/2009/10/thirteenth-monthly-mass-in-diocese-of.html<br /><br />"I have been in many Churches where Mass is not taking place, I am not attending anything."<br /><br />Would a reference to the True Presence be out of place here? Perhaps. How many times have you turned up to a Church to find that the scheduled event had been called off but nobody bothered to tell you? Do you see a difference anonymous? Or are you being misleading?<br /><br />God bless you, anonymi one and all!Convenorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939527929709019039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503689522096376739.post-55512181247256754432010-01-13T17:35:50.752+00:002010-01-13T17:35:50.752+00:00"How many of those who attended on Sunday hav..."How many of those who attended on Sunday have provided their contact details to the organisers (phone or email) to allow them to be contacted?" <br /><br />I don't know but they certainly have all my contact details. <br /><br />"Whilst no other Mass may have been cancelled in Newbridge on the Sunday in question, how many of these Masses rely on a priest flying from England..."<br /><br />None but the monthly Masses don't have to rely upon a Priest flying from England either. I certainly made the offer several times that we could source a Priest if, as can happen, circumstances conspire to prevent an FSSP Priest from flying in. Another approach is the one in Celbridge where, when the celebrant couldn't come by reason of the snow, a Priest of the Parish celebrated a Novus Ordo Mass.<br /><br />"If the answer is none, then you are not comparing like with like and therefore any comparison is irrelevant."<br /><br />Dear me!

As a matter of charity (courtesy being too much to ask), I would have thought that they would have saved people from danger.<br /><br />For example, the Celbridge Mass was cancelled - or, at least, the Latin Mass was cancelled - so the organisers arranged to have a Novus Ordo celebrated by a Priest of the Parish at that time, in order that the people who did turn up could fulfil their obligation. <br /><br />I got two calls and two texts from the organisers and from a friend making sure that I didn't travel to Celbridge by mistake. I had already been to two Masses that day anyway, so the obligation was fulfilled. I then got on the 'phone to everyone I knew who might be coming. <br /><br />Some call it Charity. Some call it Courtesy. Some call it Christianity. I call it the most basic level of human decency not to let others put their lives in danger unnecessarily.
