Having just passed another World Day of the Sick, the parish is offering the Anointing of the Sick after each of the Masses today. This tends to be very popular, so I'm helping the pastor.

A robust looking little boy presents himself for the anointing, and this conversation ensues:

Me: Are you sick?

    "I feel happy!" Who is dead, who is alive? cf the Holy Father's Angelus address today....

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
