People are to ready to argue that as PJD has done that it is" I was not arguing that exactly; but referring to weekdays and distinct from weekend obligation. My Fransciscan friend and I discussed this at the cafe today. He is very traditionalist and backed up what Penfold was saying 100%. That sort of thing (minor differences) is usual for us. Where I am, very rarely and as an exception as Penfold mentioned, when the priest was absent for a weekday Mass we have had a Eucharist Service - but strictly speaking it is against the rules. In the end, so as not to be entirely beaten, I expressed the opinion that there was no difference between a Eucharist Service conducted for a sick, distant, or elderly person at home than one conducted at the Church. So there...... but he still agreed on Penfold's principle. We left it at that with a laugh and then continued to talk about what was the best bet going for the day at Ladbrooks. PJD
