St Mary's Cathedral - Hobart

while interstate, i attended vigil mass at St mary's cathedral (not the st mary's in brisbane which has been featured on this forum and others for their liturgical abuses)

sadly the cathedral practises were nothing like our st patricks cathedral in melbourne.

6 EMHC were up in the sanctuary consecrating with the celebrant arggghhh

an elderly lady was conducting the pouring of the wine into chalices for the priest then they stood around him behind the altar while he consecrated

lots of self intinction going (communicants dipping the Host into the Precious Blood) instead of drinking from the chalice

man oh mannnn

NOT GOOD! Sorry you had to witness that but can you imagine how Our Lord must feel?

i just dont get it....

why arent our EMHC prepared properly in this all important lay ministery

in oz, dvd's with workshops have been prepared for church group leaders to train ministers properly. I was asked to comment on the program......i gave it the thumbs down because IMO it didnt cover liturgical abuses in practise nor the vaticans concerns via the redemptionis sacramentum document released....people are starting to believe its the norm
