My parish uses a Stations of the Cross booklet which also includes this "15th. Station". It was printed in 1969.Ron Rollinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496407277695910607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560483615460834385.post-37714005750334178182015-03-07T08:04:00.200-05:002015-03-07T08:04:00.200-05:00Is there really a movement afoot to add a 15th sta...Is there really a movement afoot to add a 15th station, or is it just the usual flaky bric-a-brac you find in some quarters?<br /><br />I'd put this in the same category as avoiding crucifixes in the sanctuary in favor of a ressurected or ascending Christ (pejoratively known as "touchdown"). It seems innocent enough, but it can be a subtle denial of Our Lord's atoning sacrifice on the Cross, and by extension, a denial of the Mass as primarily a sacrifice. There are people, priests even, that vocally deny atonement. It's a hard teaching to be sure, but the worst thing we can do with a hard teaching is obscure its truth by trying to soften it.Scott W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560483615460834385.post-72941601864044189322015-03-06T21:38:22.311-05:002015-03-06T21:38:22.311-05:00Well said...
