about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

Dies Domini 32-33: The Eucharistic Assembly
The Mass is not just a community event, or even the community event of the week, but as Pope John Paul II often describes it, a “fountain.” That term struck me as I read through these sections. Is a fountain a decorative … Continue reading
