The Red Mass: it's a custom for the local bishop to offer a |
|
special Mass for lawyers, judges, etc to pray for wisdom. In the US, the Red Mass tends to be scheduled at the start of the Supreme Court's term, first Monday in October.
In recent years, Cardinal Wuerl has used the Mass to denounce abortion. Will he use this year's MAss to denounce capital punishment?
