As far as I know, he never authorized anyone--Luther, Calvin, least of all Henry VIII--to start another. I greatly fear we Protestants committed an error of imponderable proportions. Miracles are rare in the Catholic Church, for it, too, is sin-infested, but the few that occur--appearances of the Virgin, healings by the likes of Padre Pio, exorcisms--do so only in the Catholic Church. Protestant priests are unable to exorcise strong demonic entities. Only specially trained Catholic priests can do so. Bottom line: We should all repent of our petulance and return to the True Church, following the example of Henry Cardinal Newman. The Church needs us and we need it. I intend to go back to Mother Church.

I guessed the preacher was using one of the other lectionaries, but I didn't have time to look it up during the service. An announcement of the switch would have been helpful. An announcement in the Thursday newsletter would have been even better!Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-17370090656931728512012-03-19T09:07:53.836-04:002012-03-19T09:07:53.836-04:00Dave H,

That's why I called it unconventional and a deviation from the norm.<br /><br />I see that the collect worked also with the O.T. reading from Numbers where the people complained about the food.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-27793104018974013952012-03-19T03:50:50.132-04:002012-03-19T03:50:50.132-04:00UP,

This is echoed in the collect, with its mention of bread.<br /><br />Not sure why your rector decided to use it with the RCL's OT reading, though. The old one was from 2 Chronicles.Dave Hnoreply@blogger.com
