EWTN.com - Your TV Mass: "Your TV Mass
Question from Ruthven E Jackie on 8/8/2008:
Hello,
Peace for the heart!
I recently read in the GIRM that there should only be one cross in the sanctuary either on the Altar or next to it but I noticed that you always have two during Mass on TV. Can you explain why for me please?
Shalom, Mr. Ruthven Jackie.
Answer by David Gregson on 9/29/2008:
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (308) implies a single crucifix, namely one set on or near the altar. This wouldn't preclude, however, the entrance of a processional cross into the sanctuary, which is (I presume) the second cross you refer to."
Does watching the mass on TV satisfy the commandment to keep the sabbath?

ReplyDeleteAccording to the forum in EWTN website, watching tv mass is for who cannot go to the church due to physically ill. I you need further clarification you may direct your question to that forum. Thanks
