Lay "Blessings" Again

I second Father Z's opinion:

D. of Madison’s newspaper’s explanation of EMHC’s giving blessings as if they were priests:

In The Catholic Herald of the Diocese of Madison, where the great Bishop Robert Morlino exercises oversight, there is a great article on an issue we have addressed here many times: Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion giving blessings to non-communicants as if they were priests.

The whole thing deserves a reading here and there is no combox over there.

Read the whole thing.
