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.

Propers Past and Future for Ordinary 3B
I think the point of good liturgy preparation is not that every element is totally aligned–as long as we have a New Testament letter read in ordinary time, this will never be the case. Nor do I think we need … Continue reading

DPPL 203: Litanies of the Blessed Virgin Mary
One of the longer sections in the document reviews the call and response form of prayer: 203. Litanies are to be found among the prayers to the Blessed Virgin recommended by the Magisterium. These consist in a long series of … Continue reading
