the_rev Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 If missing Mass on Sunday is a mortal sin, and people wouldn't go to Mass on Thursday, then moving it to Sunday helps people avoid mortal sin. Granted it should be observed on Thursday. But think, people are sinning less, which makes Jesus happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The people who take Sunday obligation seriously would take any Holy Day obligation seriously. I don't think your argument is very strong.

Paladin D Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Last I checked, Corpus Christ is not even a Holy Day of Obligation. So technically, if it wasn't moved to Sunday it still wouldn't be a sin if one weren't to participate. Not implying that one should miss Corpus Christi, just that we aren't morally bound to attend that Mass if it was on a Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
