I'm rather depressed to find this howler on p 9: "This [the Use of Sarum] directed that the day [Christmas] should have three masses, the first of which, Matins, commenced before dawn." I suppose, however, that even professors of History can't be expected to possess specialist knowledge of Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908070025869221948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-27371894978277783322023-08-03T04:14:21.302+01:002023-08-03T04:14:21.302+01:00Re: Mass, sometimes priests change Mass times forw...Re: Mass, sometimes priests change Mass times forward (or back), and tell the congregation the Sunday before, but forget to tell the website.<br /><br />I know, I was also raised to get to Mass by the last word of the Gospel at the very latest...

I was hurrying up to the church, taking a seat in the very back at 11:48 am. The pastor was speaking about something, and I whispered to my friend Patrick "when is he going to start Mass". The whispered reply was that father was in the process of giving the sermon!Arthur Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729734180689395101noreply@blogger.com
