Maybe I’m just showing how naughty and inattentive I have been in my spiritual life lately by asking, but have the stations of the cross changed?
We went to Stations for the first time at our new church and they were different. All familiar scenes, but the Jesus falls stations were all missing, as was Veronica wipes Jesus’ face.
🤷 What’s up with that?

Sounds like they were sticking strictly to the Passion as told in the Gospels - neither Veronica nor the three falls are mentioned in scripture.

That is the modern protestant (Scripture only version).
 
I agree–I remember those being in there from my childhood and they seem to have been taken out.
 
Okay, the booklet said Stations with Pope John Paul II, so Genesis315 I think you’re right. I was just kinda confused since my parish has never done anything unorthodox (except letting young women altar servers wear the black whats-it-called).

It’s fully Catholic, but it meditates on those Catholic truths that Protestants would also accept. I know what you mean though.

No offense to our late Pope—but I agree with Caesar—the change seems protestant in nature.

:confused: Cassock and Surplice
 
I guess it is called a cassock even when it is not worn by a priest then?
