Non-Essentials


In one of the commentaries on Romans 15:4-9, which is the 2nd reading for Second Sunday of Advent, the author mentions that he was shocked when he went to St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and found no kneelers there.  He thought thought that they were required in Catholic churches.  On a day of abstinence he ate in a monastery in Germany and was pleased that the pea soup had ham in it.  He suggested reading Romans 14 and 15 with  those examples in mind. Good advice for us divided Catholics today.
