Uh, oh!

Well, my thanks, Cera, for reminding me why editors are important!

I tossed that off (without editing) merely to point out NOT that good writers, editors, et al were doing anything wrong - deliberately - nor to IMPLY that they MIGHT have, for any reason whatsoever.

All I meant (but obviously did not make clear enough) was that good men can and do make booboos - unintentionally - and those mistakes end up in publications.

Case in point was a critique from Canon Gregory Hesse, STD, JCD on an otherwise good doctrinal book printed by his friends at TAN Publishing. It contained, in Canon Hesse's opinion, a translation error in a critical quotation from the Latin.

So, I only meant that which I've just described and only in reference to folks as I indicated, i.e., the "good guys," the solid spiritual authors and those who publish them.

I was not referring to the hooligans who've deep-sixed doctrine and made up a whole new worldly, dumbed-down "religion."

I've no doubt whatsoever that they knew exactly what they were doing, that it was an evil thing to do and yet went ahead and did it, anyway.

My apologies for my lack of clarity and any confusion it may have caused you or anyone else.

Thank you Anthony. Especially when you said:

I was just looking at my copy. It doesn't have a reprint date on it, just the publishing date of 1964. I don't remember when I bought it.

Cera, look in chapter 13 and see what question 76 says. My edition explains communion of saints in the traditional way. What does yours say?

My copy also does not have the "luminous" mysteries in it.

Hi Marsha,
Yes, the answer to the question is true Catholic teaching. The insidious part is that there is no discussion of those truths in the current text; it has been replaced with "communion is gathering together at the table to share."
