cappie Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I don't think the Good Lord wants us to suspend our commonsense Can. 1247 On Sundays and other holydays of obligation, the faithful are obliged to assist at Mass. To [i]assist at Mass[/i] means to be present in so far as may be appropriate or possible..... Even in the old canon law the following were excused : the sick, the convalescents, those who have a long way to go with great inconvenience, people hindered by the duties of their state etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
