Like the others have said, pray for his soul. Pray the rosary and ask for Mary's intercession on his behalf. Eternal rest grant unto him o...

My bishop, in response to the Motu Proprio, issued a one paragraph response in our diocesan newspaper that stated that he "acknowledged" the Motu Proprio. It was followed in the next issue by a scathing editiorial from the diocesan chancellor who stated that "nobody wanted it".................Very, very chilling effect. Traditional Catholicism has been on the rise in my parish since 1992 when we celebrated...

Quote: Originally Posted by Freshman88 Bah, I'm so lost. Why is it so unpractical to just ask for a traditional, solemn and pious liturgy? Why is it that the Orthodox don't suffer from this mess? I'd consider them too, if it wasn't for the fact that they're missing the Pope. They did not have to deal with the Cultural Revolution and Sexual Revolution of the '60s, which was all to prevalent in the United States,...

I believe the sacred traditions are making a slow come back. When I go to Latin Mass I look for a strong sacred foundation to help steady my shaky life. I took four years of latin in high school but even before that I understood the Latin due to my excellent St. Andrews Missal...

Quote: Originally Posted by franklinf . Although I have to differ in one thing - if you keep attending a Mass rife with abuses, one can very definitely be affected spiritually / morally after some time. Its best to try and find a reverent and orthodox Mass to avoid the attacks on the soul. I do agree with this; my point in that particular matter was that, if there absolutely is no better Mass available (due to a matter of gross...

Quote: Originally Posted by Island Oak I'm all for diversity and local customs don't threaten me...but you're on target with this point. I sometimes feel there are some parishes out there that might feel very unwelcoming--even to those of us who are Catholic. That's the part that sadden's me. It's like being made to feel like an outsider at your family reunion. Tell me about it. :: Laughs:: I've overheard...
