Vatican You Vol. 1, Ep. 8 "Whole Flock" Edition

Vatican You is back (streaming at BreadboxMedia.com on Saturday @ 11am EST & Sunday @ 4pm EST) with this week's "Whole Flock" edition (if nothing else, it will be entertaining listening to our hosts try not mispronounce the name through the whole show.)  This week we delve into par. 41-46 of Sacrosanctum Concilium (the Vatican II Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy) describing the 'whole flock' of the Church, gathered around the bishop, and the liturgical life of the parish, diocese, and the universal Church.
  • Fr. Shaun offers to send Fr. Alan some railroad spikes and sledge-hammers (find out why)
  • Fr. Chris admits to being proud of chasing students out of his high school classroom, and Fr. Shaun admits to installing cable in one of his parishes.  (What in the world is going on in these parishes?!?)
  • Fr. Jerry's '2-Minute Drill' describes the Bishop's role as the "High Priest of his flock" and we talk about why that's important - even to things like Church architecture and certain Church celebrations
  • We're reminded that the parish is not the basic building block of the universal Church - and why that's important.
  • We play a special "Papal Bull" edition of What's It Say in honor of the Holy Father's visit to the United States (and Fr. Chris clears up that a 'Papal Bull' is not an animal with horns) - we explore a random paragraph of Misericordiae Vultus ("The Face of Mercy") - Pope Francis' 'bull' initiating the coming Year of Mercy
