I agree - I think the church in the book is Episcopal. The terminology they use sounds more Episcopalian (although the words are not out of place in a Catholic church). Two things bothered me a little bit. One is that the learned library mouse's name was spelled "Ignatious." He himself mentions that his name comes from the Saint. But, as we know, Saint Ignatius does not spell his name with a "tious." A more glaring mistake is that Father Murphy blesses the animals with "Holy Oil." Blessings of this type are done with holy water. There's no reason that a priest would have used the Oil of Catechumens, the Oil of the Sick or (most especially not) the Sacred Chrism. <br />In spite of those mistakes, I did enjoy this little book.Megganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536280221857922129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-69613839757521309102011-03-20T23:07:59.113-05:002011-03-20T23:07:59.113-05:00This one will definitely have to go into Bebe Boy ...This one will definitely have to go into Bebe Boy James' birthday book box!
