Madam, – Since when has going to Mass been a source of revenue or the absence from Mass been a expression of distain for misbehaving and criminally acting clergy and their hierarchical peers?
Mass is a celebration of hope, belief and forgiveness for oneself, between those attending and their God. It is in no way for the gratification of the clergy but for the whole church, which includes those who freely choose and want to put their trust in God. – Yours, etc,
