What's good for the goose is good for the gander

Bishop Michael Smith is reported to have issued new rules on the celebration of funerals in churches in the Diocese of Meath.

Indeed, funeral Masses can 'get out of hand' and liturgical guidelines might well be pushed to one side, something that is unfortunate.

But it would be interesting to know if Bishop Smith has ever issued rules to the priests in his diocese on how to celebrate the liturgy and if he has ever given advice on preaching standards or expectations.
