Description
"The years since Vatican II have witnessed a revision or an updating not only of the Mass but of the ritual of all the sacraments. It is no secret that these changes have not met with the approval of many Catholics. I join some of my fellow priests in the belief that the main reason for the dismay of many of the laity was insufficient catechesis -- or no catechesis at all -- on our part. We simply did not prepare our congregations for the changes. To remedy this situation at least in part, now that the American Catholic Church gets ready to implement the latest and final ritual revision, is the purpose of this series of sermons on Penance and the Anointing of the Sick. The changes are not very drastic, but there are some innovations which, if they are not explained beforehand, will seem strange to our people." [from the book's introduction, "To My Fellow Priests"]
