To whom much is given, much is required. That is Scripture.

We simply are held to a higher standard.

Is it possible that this guy fulfilled his duty much more completely in watching the Mass through the Internet?

There are so many threads here and on other Catholic forums with people trying to find an excuse to stay home from Mass. Is it that much of a burden to spend one hour of your weekend in Mass? If it is truly an undue burden, your pastor can dispense your obligation (I ought know, I have been dispensed for a long time due to a family health issue).

If your reasons for missing mass move to the impossible (you are sick, you have no one to care for your infant and do not want to take them, you live too far away from a parish and cannot get there, etc.) you do not need a dispensation.

I would literally give ANYTHING to go to Mass every week and have a hard time wondering why people will try six ways to Sunday to rationalize skipping Mass “just because”.

The law applies universally.
The culpability changes based on circumstance.

God knows all and judges accordingly.
