The Dilemma of Priestless Sundays - 24 Pieces Per Package
Description
A growing number of Catholic communities are unable to keep holy the Lord’s day in our tradition with Sunday Mass. They cannot celebrate the Eucharist because their pastoral leader is not a priest. More and more, these communities are gathering for Sunday worship in the absence of a priest. Does this make a difference? Will this alter the Church’s sense of identity and mission? How will Catholic spirituality be affected if it lacks the foundation of Sunday Eucharist? This book takes a deep look at the concerns raised by Sunday worship in the absence of a priest. It asks that we look carefully at what this growing practice entails, and that we give serious consideration to available alternatives. An index and endnotes provide for further study.
