What an odd cathedral. Those gothic arches and ornate ceiling conflict with the mundane stained glass, the austere altar, and the bizarre crucifix, spooky podium on the right, and sphere tabernacle on the far left.
They tore it up in the 60's, you can see more traditional art and stained glass in pictures before that. It's a shame, it was once really beautiful. Everywhere you see that weird black marble was once a mural depicting a scene from the Bible. and now it's not ugly or anything, but it's an odd mix between the styles
For a Cathedral of a major archdiocese, it is not very appealing and very small, much smaller than the vast majority of cathedrals. They should move it to the enormous and beautiful St. Mary of the Angels Church in Chicago.
Seems to me that members of the faithful who pay attention enough to have heard about this dispensation would likely have not been confused by the Vatican’s prior statement.
The beneficiaries of such a dispensation would be those who haven't heard about it, as they likewise haven't heard they're supposed to attend mass on Monday the 9th
The same peerless sense of priority that changed “one God, forever and ever” to “God, forever and ever” at the end of the collect. The Baltimore meeting will be earth-shattering.
I think the most difficult part of this is what many priests would feel they must do, when they hadn't been expecting to. They would have to go from maybe no Mass at all that day, or one if they're going the extra mile, to offering two or three Masses on that day. And that on what some take as their usual day off.
Cardinal DiNardo of Galveston-Houston has done so as well... https://www.archgh.org/immaculateconception24
thank you.

A sentence type now and have never typed before: I think Cardinal Cupich is right on this one
MASS hysteria! Dogs and cats living together...
Archbishop Vigneron has also granted a dispensation in Detroit - https://www.familiesofparishes.org/notes-and-clarifications-about-upcoming-dates-in-the-liturgical-calendar

Bp. Paprocki losing a collection. As a civil lawyer maybe he’ll sue Cdl. Cupich.
