INSIGHT

Church As Fullness Of Truth

  • The Catholic Church claims the fullness of truth and means of redemption while acknowledging partial truth and sanctification outside itself.
  • Christianity and Judaism share a Hebraic origin but diverge principally over the identity and role of Jesus of Nazareth.
ADVICE

How Vatican II Changed The Mass

  • The post-Vatican II ordinary form of Mass uses the vernacular, more lay responses, and shorter propers than the extraordinary (Latin) form.
  • If you want the old rite, ask local parishes about access to the extraordinary form or Latin Mass options.
ADVICE

Bring Communion Concerns To Your Pastor

  • If you feel conscience-bound about a friend's irregular Communion, bring your concern to your pastor rather than making the call alone.
  • Let the ordinary minister (priest) handle admonitions and decisions about Communion eligibility.
