CATHEDRAL OF THE 

This week’s article was written by Hunter LaRocca, our summer seminarian intern.
Did Mass Really Stop? One afternoon, in fact it was on Easter Monday, myself and my brother seminarians were at the St. Charles Center watching our last seminary conference of the year. It was given via livestream by our rector at Notre Dame Seminary, Fr. James Wehner. One of the stories he was telling us was about a call he had gotten from two priests, who were his former seminarians. These priests were both associate pastors at parishes in Ohio. The two priests were very distraught and troubled because they had told Fr. Wehner that both of their pastors had not been offering daily Mass or even live streaming it for the people to watch ever since the cancellation of public Masses due to COVID -19. When they had asked their pastors why they were not offering up Mass daily or live streaming it for the people to see, their response was so that they could be in solidarity with the people who could not receive the sacraments. . After Fr. Wehner had told this story, he makes the remark “that just goes to show the type of bad theology there is that still exists in the Church today.”  Please click here to read more.
