Today is Ascension Thursday, a national holiday celebrated throughout much of Europe but here we find it difficult to make it to Mass twice in a week so we have moved the Feast to Sunday. While there was much genuine outrage over the Notre Dame debacle we should find greater concern in a Catholic culture that finds difficulty getting to Mass an extra day but wouldn't have any hesitation in accepting tickets to an extra ballgame in one week.
