Zip. Nada. Zilch.We were told - occasionally - about the "changes to come" but, aside from a plastic fold-out with the prayers of the priest and the responses from the congregation, nothing at all!No wonder there is so much confusion. So many of our priests - while they do an admirable job with the sacraments - do not (will not? cannot?) catechize the sheep worth a hoot."My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children."

Could you explain that? We have a 41 year old son who wants to know why Catholics are told it's a serioud matter to miss Mass on Sundays. Thanks for your help.
