What do you think the state of the Church would be if there was no Second Vatican Council?

gracepoole:

I’m aware they’re not supposed to give blessings. But it happens almost every time anyway.

Why does this upset you so much? There are more than a billion souls in the Catholic Church, not everyone is always on the same page and mistakes are sometimes made. That’s why pencils have erasers.

This seems like such a minor mistake.

Because they don’t possess the necessary “commission to bless in the name of the Church.”
