Those of us who prefer reverence in our Liturgies are NOT "Liturgical Snobs" We want dignity in reverence in our Masses which under John Paul II were very mediocre. What Benedict did was introduce the "Reform of the Reform" HOW WE PRAY IS WHAT WE BELIEVE. It does matter what the Pope does liturgically because of his role as High Priest. Remember this Pope was made a priest in 1969 after the New Rite of Mass started.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-90558722110138839972013-03-14T18:14:29.581+00:002013-03-14T18:14:29.581+00:00Great posts, Laurence!

I'm disgusted at the attitude of the liturgical snobs - they're showing themselves up to the extent that you have to say is it any wonder they haven't achieved their so-called aims?! They never wanted a reform of the liturgy for the whole Church - they too much want to be part of an exclusive club - shame! It's so sad for the few genuine ones:(epsilonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785182500278281351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-82254461088498480862013-03-14T16:34:13.485+00:002013-03-14T16:34:13.485+00:00St. Francis of Assisi is one of the most wonderful...St. Francis of Assisi is one of the most wonderful saints of all time, no doubt. But we must not assume His Holiness, the new Bishop of Rome, has chosen that name for that reason - there is also St. Francis Xavier, St. Francesco Fogolla, St. Francis Borgia, and a whole host of other saint Frances. We have not yet been told why he chose the name of Francis. Let's wait for him to tell us.

We'll get a clear idea once Pope Francis starts making his appointments. <br />We must pray to the Holy Spirit to give him the spiritual strength needed to confront the negative issues in the Church. My additonal prayer is that he will keep the Nuncio in place.Gentyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569143943867323153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-75733763915865027602013-03-14T09:45:49.089+00:002013-03-14T09:45:49.089+00:00Good post...just a pity that the Franciscans did n...Good post...just a pity that the Franciscans did not practise what St. Francis preached.<br />As is sometimes said among my friends: " The Franciscans take the vow of poverty and we, who don't take the vow, keep it"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
