THE NOW WORD ON MASS READINGS
for May 19th, 2014
Monday of the Fifth Week of Easter
Liturgical texts here
IT is common to hear those opposed to Catholicism invoke arguments such as: Christianity is just borrowed from pagan religions; that Christ is a mythological invention; or that the Catholic Feast days, such as Christmas and Easter, are just paganism with a face-lift. But there is an entirely different perspective on paganism that St. Paul reveals in today’s Mass readings.
