BOTHY, thank you for posting those newspaper clippings. That was under Cardinal Spellman. He was VII before VII, and allegedly a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ to boot.
That he would allow this doesn't surprise me since many churchmen were already starting to place more of their trust and confidence in what psychiatrists said than in the Sacred Heart of Jesus where it always belonged.
You're welcome, Alexandria. +Spellman, "The American pope," was another Irish American cleric mired in the heresy of Americanism. The recent revelations of his private life, if true, are nauseating to say the least.
I found these clipping while doing family tree research over the years. Another surprising thing was the allowance of Protestant hymns and popular songs at both funerals and weddings. I've provided a clip from an obituary for my 2nd great uncle which took place in Pennsylvania in 1936. Outside of "Veni, Jesu," I doubt you would find any of the others in the St. Basil Hymnal.
