The problem is that so many did not have your advantage. My mother is a wonderful woman and yet as a child I remember her being almost paranoid about hoovering in the sanctuary and as a small boy I would change the veil on the tabernacle because she would not touch it. This is the folk law that she and many others believed to be the true teaching of the church, women should not step into the sanctuary, sadly it became so entrenched in folk law that many still regard it as of divine inspiration, thankfully not my mother who now hoovers away only paranoid that the PP will find her and she will be Volunteered for another job and a 79 she is doing quite enough, though I can't say that out loud her ears will burn and I will get a phone call. There are many other such superstitions which became entangled into the “Teaching of the Church.” The council of Trent got rid of a few and Vat II cleared out a great deal but there are many remaining and more being invented. + Edited by Penfold, Tuesday, 30.
