Fr Z: The Apostolic Pardon

What Does The Prayer Really Say? The Apostolic Pardon - Fathers, do you know it?

That could read... CATHOLICS, do you know it??

I didn't. Do you?? I grew up in Catholic schools through 9th grade, and I do not recall EVER having heard of it. Extreme Unction, yes. Later, Sacrament of the Sick, yes... but The Apostolic Pardon? Nope, not once... why? (and do not use the old cliche that it is because of VII.... for all of my Catholic school teaching was prior to changes, having been in the Aspirancy my Freshman year of High School, 63-64 school year... the changes came later. )

God bless!!
