A reader sent me a link to this description of some USCCB programming on the USCCB’s Catholic Communication Campaign website.
In this week’s “Fact of Faith,” Paulist Father Larry Rice explains why the Holy Days of Obligation were the same for Catholics everywhere and now they no longer exist.
The show itself make no such assertion.

I guess it was necessary to add the final line.
The USCCB added:
“We wouldn’t want to offend anyone by actually offering the Catholic Faith. Holy Days of Obligation? Soooooo last century. Why, you no longer even have to go to Mass to be a Catholic! It’s the easiest religion out there! See, those Mohammedans require prayer, like, 5 times EVERY DAY! Can you believe that? It almost as if they think you need to pray and stuff. Prayer is out, Global Warming Awareness is in! Just come by your local parish, there’s sure to be lots of empty pews available.”
