Jim Martin's Checking His Watch

Jim Martin over at America magazine asks the question that's on every Catholic's mind but no one is willing to voice. As somone who's sat through the Vigil myself, I think he might be on to something:

Last year I asked one of my relatives if she was going to the Vigil Mass. "Are you kidding?" she said. No matter how much I encouraged her to go, and no matter how much I touted the dramatic lighting of the Paschal Candle, the beautiful readings, the amazing spectacle of seeing adult baptisms, she was turned off by what she called (and I remember this word vividly) its
"ridiculous" length. Is it time to start thinking about shortening the Easter Vigil?
