Being there was an article in the local paper i suspect not only does the Bishop know about but has no problem with it.

Yeah. He probably knows. But if you knew Bishop Serratelli, you would not say that it is likely he “has no problem with it.” He’s first class.
 
I’ve never heard of such a thing. We love our dogs just as much as anyone else, but would never take them to Mass. There are a lot of weirdos around, and I guess it must include this priest. Pray for him.

They’re Not???

They’re not. 😉

Animals have many useful and pleasant characteristics, but they are not human beings, and they do not belong at Mass.

Some would say that they don’t even belong indoors - but they certainly don’t belong in Church, in any case.
 
I honestly, and I mean HONESTLY would rather see a dog on the altar than an extraordinary minister of the eucharist up there.

👍 👍
 
When I drop a chip or a cracker on the floor, my rat terrier is all over it like…well, a chip or a cracker. Most dogs are like that.
So the question that pops into my mind is this…

what’s a dog going to do if the Most Sacred Body is accidentally dropped on the floor or the Most Precious Blood is spilled?

Dogs are a great gift from God. They don’t belong at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

This is the kind of mentally ill “dogs are better than people” attitude I was talking about earlier.

Dogs don’t have spiritual souls. They certainly are not created in the image and likeness of God.

Jesus did not die on the Cross for dogs, and dogs will not be raised up unto eternal life on the Last Day. All human beings (including everyone that you hate) will be, however - and we will all - lay people, children, women, and all - be in the Holy Sanctuary of God, then. But there won’t be any dogs, there.

When a dog dies, his soul vanishes to where the flame goes when you blow out a candle, and he returns to the dust of the earth. There is no benefit to a dog to be in church at all, let alone up on the Altar with the priest.

I agree, no matter how much we might not like EMs there is no comparison to dogs. As the Bible teaches dogs are animals and inferior to humans.

Oh, give me a break. What an absurd statement! Someday, God forbid, you might be homebound, and be glad to see one of us bring you Holy Communion. Especially when there is no priest avaliable.
