A couple of year...Mr Hester scores a bullseye here. A couple of years ago, at the church where I was then a regular worshipper, I was astonished on arriving for Sunday Mass to be greeted by the unfamiliar aroma of incense. Incense? At St ---'s? Surely not! At the start of Mass Father apologised for the assault on our nostrils, and explained that the drains had overflowed. Ever the practical man, he had dusted off a couple of thuribles and found some incense at the back of a cupboard, and the censers were now sitting on the floor in the side aisle, fumigating the air. That cleared up any confusion: but not before one average Catholic (female, 50+) had stormed out with the loud protest - 'Haven't these people heard of Vatican II?'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
